About This Group
Established in 1972, AIMS was an explorer in its early years, defining the Great Barrier Reef and its biodiversity, and introducing Australians to remarkable marine ecosystems across northern Australia.
In the past 20 years our focus has turned to monitoring and understanding the changes we see in these ecosystems, from Western Australia’s Scott Reef to Darwin’s coastal waters and the Great Barrier Reef.
The next decade will be one of action, helping to sustain and repair these ecosystems in the face of a changing climate. We are creating the tools to enable the best possible planning and decision-making for conservation and sustainable development of the energy, mineral, tourism and food resources in and under our tropical oceans.
