With the global proportion of people living in cities now exceeding 50%, the Sydney Harbour Institute of Marine Science will champion the area of urban marine science. The proposed aquarium facility will support multidisciplinary research to find solutions for the environmental problems of marine habitats in urban areas. Research at SHIMS will examine how coastal environments are affected by human impacts, recreational fisheries, invasive pests; develop novel technologies for detection of environmental and climate change; and provide management options to protect ports and harbours from threatening processes. The location in such a commercially and recreationally busy harbour provides excellent opportunities for research and education.

居住在城市中的全球人口比例超过50％，悉尼港海洋科学研究所将倡导城市海洋科学领域。拟议的水族馆设施将支持多学科研究，以找到解决城市地区海洋栖息地的环境问题的解决方案。 Shims的研究将研究沿海环境如何受到人类影响，休闲渔业，侵入性害虫的影响；开发用于检测环境和气候变化的新技术；并提供管理选项，以保护港口和港口免于威胁过程。在这种商业和娱乐繁忙的港口的地点为研究和教育提供了绝佳的机会。
