A new website for the African Institute for Marine and Underwater Research, Exploration and Education (AIMURE) has launched

A new website has launched for the African Institute for Marine and Underwater Research, Exploration and Education (AIMURE).
The African Institute for Marine and Underwater Research, Exploration and Education (AIMURE) was established in October 2012. It is an entirely independent successor of a former institute that was created in 1999. The AIMURE is a non-profit (NPO) and non-governmental organisation (NGO) that is registered with the South African Department of Social Development. The AIMURE was created to stimulate and support African marine, maritime and underwater studies.
The main objective of the AIMURE is to actively develop and pursue projects that promote research, exploration and education related to the marine, maritime and underwater environments. With the recently created website, which is online as of today, AIMURE is targeting new partnerships and sponsors to successfully realize its objectives through research and educational projects, as well as scientific publications to reflect the outcome of these projects. AIMURE is renowned for projects in the field of maritime archaeology through the work of its present CEO Dr Bruno Werz. In due time, the Institute would like to expand its research programme and include projects that deal with the full scope of underwater, marine and maritime studies, such as oceanography, limnology, hydrographic surveys and marine biology.
