SCSIO

China Academy of Sciences South China Sea Institute of Oceanology focuses on researching the structure and interaction of the tropical marginal sea-oceanic water ring, discussing their control and impact on resource formation and environmental changes. They develop a theoretical system and application technology for South China Sea's unique tropical marine resources and environmental processes. Their strategic themes include ecological civilization, marine-land-atmosphere interactions, environmental protection, and island engineering.

Emphasizing ecological civilization and national defense security projects, they strive to break through scientific issues in the marine field. Their key research areas include tropical marine environmental dynamics, geological evolution and oil and gas resources of marginal seas, sustainable utilization of tropical marine biological resources, and marine environmental monitoring systems and key technologies
