We’re working to discover, enhance and sustain marine ecosystems and maximise the benefits from Australia’s marine territory.
Meet six women working aboard our research vessel, Investigator. From a doctor to a biological oceanographer to a ship's captain, these women are ferry impressive ambassadors for STEMM.
How do you measure data in such a large area for two species in a short amount of time? A team of scientists have used innovative technology to uncover the distribution of endangered blue whales and krill.
New research reveals how climate change could influence future krill abundance and whale populations in the Southern Hemisphere.
The crown-of-thorns starfish eats massive amounts of coral on the Great Barrier Reef. We're working with an all-star team to control this menace of the Reef.
Just keep swimming! We feature three ocean-dwelling animals that stole the show, on the first episode of the ABC's new nature doco, the Magical Land of Oz.
Scientists on board our research vessel Investigator have 3D-modelled hundreds of millions of krill in giant swarm and noticed a puzzling gender imbalance.
We’re harvesting coral spawn slicks to upscale coral restoration of the Great Barrier Reef, through our Recovery of Reefs Using Industrial Techniques (RECRUIT) project.
A team of researchers from the Australian Antarctic Division on board the RV Investigator are using underwater listening devices originally developed to track submarines to find ‘hotspots’ of Antarctic blue whales.
New research shows the history of our deep ocean is written in the stars.
At the end of the day, who doesn’t like a good poo story (especially when it's about poo from the largest animal on Earth)!
We’re back out on the waves on board RV Investigator serving up live science plucked fresh from the high seas – and what a voyage it’s been!
Our research shows that huge economic and environmental benefits could come from fully using fish now discarded. If all of the edible fish caught was kept and sold, both the sustainability and profitability of fishing would significantly improve.
