Environmental Science & Marine Technology

The Bay itself is a unique asset for Torbay – it is deeply indented into the coastline and is very well sheltered – which makes it ideal for marine leisure and marine research and technology industries.

Marine life and environmental research is an important growing sector in South Devon. Both Plymouth and Exeter are encouraging further growth, building on the high quality of research at the two Universities and the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, so there are great opportunities for a sub regional network and a great knowledge based & research backdrop to the whole area.
