To carry out research activities independently in the areas of marine coastal ecology, the OASTC has developed adequate infrastructure facilities, which are accessible to research personnel involved in the DOD – funded projects.   The Cell has two laboratories – one wet laboratory for carrying out chemical analysis work and the other one, dry laboratory that houses computers and various equipments like: 

         UV Spectrophotometer

   BOD Incubator

   Centrifuse

   Water Bath

   Digital Monopan Balance

   DO meter

 

  In addition to the above, Remote Sensing and GIS facilities are available in the Department of Marine Sciences. However, the Cell is making all out efforts to acquire other sophisticated equipment, relevant to the field of marine ecology from DOD funds.
