According to the Marine Research Plan of the Department of Science and Technology (2014), coastal oceanography is still in its infancy. There exists a plethora of commercial activities and trade along the 2 800km coastline of South Africa. The Port of Durban is the biggest and busiest port in South Africa. Unisa needs to tap deep into the opportunities for supporting economic growth through teaching and learning, research and innovation as well as engaged scholarship, while at the same time creating awareness of how to protect our marine world from degradation.
The College of Human Sciences (CHS) has put its hand up with the development of a trans-disciplinary BSc in Marine Studies, in collaboration with the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences and the College of Science, Engineering and Technology, among others.
The College of Law is currently developing a short learning programme and establishing a research group on custom and marine studies.
NgokoHlelo Locwaningo Lwezasolwandle loMnyango Wezesayensi Nobuchwepheshe (2014), isayensi esifundweni solwandle yasogwini isaqala. Kunenqwaba yemisebenzi yezohwebo kanye nokuhwebelana ngasogwini logu lwaseNingizimu Afrika olungamakhilomitha ayi-2 800. Ichweba laseThekwini liyichweba elikhulu nelimatasa kakhulu eNingizimu Afrika. I-Unisa idinga ukungena ngokujulile emathubeni okuxhasa ukukhula komnotho ngokufundisa nokufunda, ucwaningo nokusungula okusha kanye nemifundaze yokuzibandakanya, ngesikhathi esifanayo iqwashisa ngendlela yokuvikela umhlaba wethu wasolwandle ekucekeleni phansi.
IKolishi Lesayensi Yabantu (CHS) seliphakamise isandla ekuthuthukisweni kwe-BSc yokuqondisa izigwegwe Ezifundweni Zasolwandle, ngokubambisana neKolishi Lezolimo Nesayensi Yezemvelo kanye neKolishi Lesayensi, Ubunjiniyela Nobuchwepheshe, phakathi kokunye.
IKolishi Lomthetho njengamanje lithuthukisa uhlelo lokufunda olufushane futhi lisungula iqembu lokucwaninga ngezifundo zamasiko nezasolwandle.

Volgens die Plan vir Mariene Navorsing van die Departement van Wetenskap en Tegnologie (2014) staan kusoseanografie nog in sy kinderskoene. Daar is etlike kommersiële en handelsbedrywighede langs Suid-Afrika se 2 800 km lange kuslyn.
Die Durbanse hawe is die grootste en besigste hawe in Suid-Afrika. Unisa moet geleenthede aangryp om ekonomiese groei deur middel van onderrig en leer, navorsing en innovasie en betrokke vakkundigheid te ondersteun, en terselfdertyd bewustheid skep van hoe om ons seelewe teen agteruitgang te beskerm.
Die Kollege vir Menswetenskappe (College of Human Sciences), in samewerking met, onder andere, die Kollege vir Landbou en Omgewingswetenskappe (College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences) en die Kollege vir Wetenskap, Ingenieurswese en Tegnologie (College of Science, Engineering and Technology), is betrokke by die ontwikkeling van ’n transdissiplinêre BSc in Mariene Studies.
Die Kollege vir Regsgeleerdheid (College of Law) is tans gemoeid met die ontwikkeling van ’n kort leerprogram en die oprigting van ’n navorsingsgroep oor gebruike en mariene studies.
