We’re working to discover, enhance and sustain marine ecosystems and maximise the benefits from Australia’s marine territory.
In the cold southern oceans, underwater mountains support deep-sea reefs.
Four years of piping hot marine research delivered to your door is dropping knowledge bombs to change your world.
We're using an echolocator to watch the daily migration of sea life rise up from depths to feed at dusk and then return back to the depths at dawn. But some fish have oil-filled bladders rather than a gas bladder making their reflection weak and difficult to count. That's where our special camera comes in.
Over 85 per cent of seafood caught in Australia is sustainable. However, just because a fish is sustainably caught, it doesn’t make it the most nutritious and healthy option – and vice versa. We've compared the two to see what seafood is both sustainable and nutritious.
Scientists discover birds toying with a party balloon and plastic bottle, with a soft drink can spotted 1,000 metres down on the ocean floor — sights described by researchers as "heartbreaking".
We are surveying deep-sea coral reefs growing on underwater mountains to deepen our understanding of these extraordinary marine communities.
Grey Nurse Sharks are critically endangered in parts of Australia. Our research is helping to assist the conservation management of the species.
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, or ACC, is the strongest ocean current on our planet and is vital for Earth’s health because it keeps Antarctica cool and frozen.
To better protect sea turtles, we are using ultrasound and tracking tags to detect where females go to nest, while also finding out what they get up to on the way.
Our researchers have discovered and named two new species of micro-jellyfish found in Australian waters.
The spotted handfish—the first marine fish to be declared Critically Endangered—is a Tasmanian treasure and we've just paired science with art to help bring them back from the brink.
Sawfish are critically endangered. We recently worked with Indigenous rangers to help save these sawsome fish!
