AMBERApplied Marine Biology and Ecological Research · University of Haifa
We study jellyfish, marine plastics, aquaculture and nature-based solutions in the Eastern Mediterranean, under Prof. Dror L. Angel at the University of Haifa.
Research pillars
Four pillars, with citizen science running through all of them: the national reporting project Meduzot Ba'am.
01
Jellyfish
We study swarm formation, seasonality and the ecological and economic effects of jellyfish along the Israeli coast.
02
Microplastics & Nanoplastics
We measure plastic particles in coastal waters, sediments and organisms, and follow their uptake through the food web.
03
Aquaculture & Environment
We examine how marine farms interact with their surroundings, including integrated multi-trophic aquaculture.
04
Climate & Nature-based Solutions
We work on coastal adaptation in a warming Levantine basin and on solutions that use natural processes.
About the lab
The AMBER Lab is part of the Charney School of Marine Sciences at the University of Haifa. We combine field work along the Israeli coast, laboratory experiments and international collaborations to describe how coastal systems are changing and which tools are available to decision makers. A substantial part of our data is collected together with the public.
