Our peeps (em)powering science at sea

This World Maritime Day, we look at women who (em)power the science on our research vessel Investigator.

Reeling in fishing gear lost at sea

We have produced the first ever estimate of commercial fishing gear lost in the world’s oceans.

Saving baby turtles one nest at a time

We're working with Indigenous rangers in Cape York to give baby turtles the best chance of making it from nest to ocean.

Researchers on board our RV Investigator are surveying seabirds in the Coral Sea to see which parts of the ocean are used by different species.

Every week is science week on RV Investigator!

In the wake of National Science Week, we check in with our research vessel Investigator on a voyage in the Coral Sea.

Climate change may change the way ocean waves impact 50% of the world’s coastlines

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.

About last night: multiple coral spawning in the Great Barrier Reef

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.

Nice one BRUV! Counting deep-water fish at Ningaloo 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.

The (ocean) floor is lava: RV Investigator’s Coral Sea voyage

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.

Life in plastic, not fantastic: reducing waste in our oceans

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.

Extreme weather caused by climate change has damaged 45% of Australia’s coastal habitat

Corals, mangroves and seagrass habitats have been affected by extreme weather events, and some may never recover.
