Research in Estonian Marine Institute

The Estonian Maritime Institute of the University of Tartu provides scientific knowledge to support the sustainable use of the Baltic Sea and contributes to marine spatial planning. The sea and the related activities - including shipping, fishing, tourism, and the energy sector - play a vital role in the Estonian economy as a whole, as well as in regional development and culture.

The Institute’s broad research profile spans topics from marine physics to biology and optics, and it possesses scientific expertise that is unique in Estonia in most of these fields.

Main research topics:

  • Interactions between the environment and biota
  • Blue economy and aquaculture
  • Marine spatial planning
  • Spatial modelling
  • Optical remote sensing
  • Ocean acidification
  • Alien species in the Baltic Sea
  • Marine monitoring
  • Marine litter
