In the 15 years since its founding, the ZMT has built a strong network of partners in Germany and abroad. Cooperation agreements exist between the ZMT and several research institutions in South America, Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The institute is a focal point not only for scientists, but also for government agencies and companies to exchange
expert knowledge in the field of tropical marine ecology. The participation of ZMT employees in international organizations contributes to the integration of German marine tropical ecology research with international programmes and the development of common strategies.
