We’re working to discover, enhance and sustain marine ecosystems and maximise the benefits from Australia’s marine territory.
Scientists studying a remote volcanic island have found it plays an important role in feeding a hungry ocean.
A new action plan assesses the extinction risk for Australian sharks making it easier to protect them.
It's hard to forget the harrowing bushfires of the 2019-20 summer. The destruction on land was evident but the bushfires had a surprising positive effect on the ocean.
Litter hotspots were associated with socioeconomic factors such as a concentration of built infrastructure, less national wealth and the level of lighting at night.
A new analysis, using 15 years of autonomous underwater measurements and simulations from the latest global climate models, refined our estimate of future ocean warming and sea level rise.
Supporting Bergmann’s Rule, we found temperature predicts marine copepod size. This could influence the amount of food available for fish.
Scientists on our research vessel (RV) Investigator are uncovering the denizens of the deep that lurk in the ocean far beneath the waves.
Using data from a seal tagging program, our researchers have generated the first detailed oceanographic observations of the continental shelf in Vincennes Bay, East Antarctica.
A disease not seen in Australia’s wild abalone population for 11 years has resurfaced, and it’s a massive challenge for our abalone industry.
An ancient undersea volcano was slowly revealed by multibeam sonar 3,100 metres below RV Investigator, southeast of Christmas Island.
Stepping out of the classroom and diving into whale shark research at Ningaloo has inspired a new generation of budding marine scientists from Exmouth District High School.
Anaemic oceans can lead to lower productivity in marine ecosystems with flow on effects for our atmosphere, climate and fisheries. Scientists on board our RV Investigator are investigating.
