The permanent secretariat is set up at Ocean University of China, where the General Secretary belongs to, which is responsible for the daily work of IAMRI. Under the supervision of the Steering Committee and the direction of the Chairman, the Secretariat:
a) To act as a center for information on questions of international interest related to higher education and marine-related research and provides, by appropriate means, for the dissemination of this information;
b) To facilitate the exchange of students and scientific staff, and develop means for better distribution and exchange of laboratory materials, books and other equipment;
c) To undertake other tasks that are compatible with the aims of the IAMRI;
d) To prepare the draft agenda for the General Meeting; the draft is to be approved via correspondence by the Steering Committee and issued to the General Meeting, not less than one month before its meeting.
