The Ruppin Academic Center in Israel is focused on the country's maritime future, with its marine campus offering access to the sea and advanced research laboratories. The center teaches and conducts research on marine resources management and sustainable practices. Israel's coastal strip is only 100 miles long, but it is home to more than five million people and features a variety of uses, including ports, power plants, and archaeological sites. The center aims to connect with leading forces in Israel's maritime activity and help develop an Israeli marine agenda.
