Research on the shores in the sub-Antarctic region is discussed with respect to how lines of investigation developed, current status, and what areas of research should attract priority in relation to both outstanding questions and concerns for the ecological well-being of the region. The remoteness of the sub-Antarctic requires coordination of effort and resources and it is suggested that greater advances could be made if there is international coordination in a more prescribed way.
