We’re working to discover, enhance and sustain marine ecosystems and maximise the benefits from Australia’s marine territory.
The rise in sea levels is not the only way climate change will affect our coasts. Research, published today, found a warming planet will also alter ocean waves along more than 50% of the world’s coastlines.
New research indicates that when coral colonies on the Great Barrier Reef spawn more than once a year, reefs receive a more consistent supply of coral larvae which could help coral recovery and the resilience of the Reef.
Alongside The University of Western Australia, we're undertaking deep-water fish surveys at Ningaloo Reef to deepen our understanding of the marine habitat and populations of fish living there.
Most of the ocean floor and what goes on down there is pretty much a mystery. This is where the RV Investigator's new research voyage in the Coral Sea could help.
This July saw millions of people were involved in Plastic Free July. Here's what we’re doing about it. And what you can do to help.
Corals, mangroves and seagrass habitats have been affected by extreme weather events, and some may never recover.
We have worked closely with Indigenous rangers in the Kimberley to build on cultural and scientific knowledge of the marine animals and plants that call the region home.
While the physical effects of coral bleaching in the Great Barrier Reef have been well documented, we wanted to understand the social and cultural impact.
Sydney's affluent eastern suburbs have raw and untreated sewage from 3,500 people discharged directly into the Tasman Sea.
A global team of researchers have used modelling techniques to better understand the impact of climate change on marine life in Australia and around the world.
For the first time at the world heritage-listed area, whale sharks, the world's biggest fish, have been captured on film attempting to mate.
In honour of World Oceans Day this week, we’ve looked beyond the shore to test your knowledge and hopefully provide a few more facts on our great blue planet.
