They are home to nearly a million known species and contain vast untapped potential for scientific discovery, all while providing support for economic, social and environmental needs across the globe. Ocean education can be enhanced through scientific cooperation and knowledge at university level. The development of research capacity along with the transfer of marine technology can lead to a next level. Research faculties in the university are providing information and awareness by publishing good reputed journals regarding life below water. Over and above, under Unnat Bharat Abhiyan, university is engaged in field survey of rivers to detect the heavy metal content present in water in different villages of Chennai.
