We’re working to discover, enhance and sustain marine ecosystems and maximise the benefits from Australia’s marine territory.
Scientists on our research vessel Investigator were treated to a spot of whale watching over the weekend.
You can help scientists around the world monitor water quality by simply downloading an app and taking a photo of water when you see it.
We know that sea turtles are consuming plastic found in the ocean, but is it actually killing them?
Is the plastic eaten by turtles actually killing them, or do they just happen to have plastic inside them when they die? If we can estimate how much plastic it takes to kill a turtle, we can start to answer the question of exactly how turtle populations are affected by eating plastic debris.
DNA from the deep has revealed a stunning diversity of invisible life in Australia’s oceans.
Australia and Antarctica go way back. 96 million years, in fact. Lately, we’ve played a key role in some of the biggest scientific discoveries in Antarctica.
We calculated how many MCGs it would take to hold all the plastic in our oceans. Spoiler alert: a lot. Plastic is filling our oceans, killing animals and costing us billions. We need your help to solve this massive problem so here's what you can do about it.
Although marine heatwaves can last many months and extend over thousands of square kilometres, they don’t have a naming convention, like hurricanes do.
A new United Nations report on fisheries and climate change shows that Australian marine systems are undergoing rapid environmental change, with some of the largest climate-driven changes in the Southern Hemisphere.
What will Antarctica look like in 2070? Will the icy wilderness we know today survive, or will it succumb to climate change and human pressure?
We’re uncovering the secrets of whale sharks by tracking their movements at Ningaloo Reef.
The first people to make it to Australia could have navigated their way by sea crossing, reaching the north-west coastline of the island continent.
