Australasian Society for Phycology and Aquatic Botany

A PROFESSIONAL SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY FOR PEOPLE INTERESTED IN PHYCOLOGY AND AQUATIC BOTANY

Welcome to

The Australasian Society for Phycology and Aquatic Botany

The Australasian Society for Phycology and Aquatic Botany (ASPAB) is an incorporated professional society for people studying algae and aquatic plants across Australasia and beyond. We connect researchers, students, professionals, and members of the public through our annual conference, member newsletter, and scientific community.

Our Scope

Formally established in May 1980, ASPAB aims to promote, develop and assist the study of, or an interest in, phycology (the study of macro- and micro-algae such as seaweeds and phytoplankton) and aquatic botany (the study of aquatic plants) within Australasia and elsewhere.

Our Members

We draw members mainly from Australia and New Zealand, but welcome anyone who has an interest in the biology of photosynthetic aquatic organisms in this part of the world. ASPAB members work on aquatic organisms from microalgae to macroalgae, and from freshwater to marine environments.

ASPAB Membership is open to everyone!

ASPAB membership is available for anybody with an interest in phycology and aquatic botany. Please join our community today!
