The MESL laboratory specialises in analysis of benthic and epibenthic samples from a wide variety of environments ranging from estuarine to offshore.  Primarily our work consists of monitoring for the aggregate industry and, more recently, the renewable energy sector.  Our staff comprise of an experienced team of marine biologists who are self-motivated and work to tight deadlines.
