Australian Institute of Marine Science

The Australian Institute of Marine Science is a world leader in tropical marine research. 

We provide:
• unique insight into Australia’s tropical waters; and 
• knowledge to develop globally relevant and innovative research solutions.

From Ningaloo in the west, across the Top End to the Great Barrier Reef, AIMS’ researchers understand large-scale, complex and emerging challenges in iconic marine habitats in Australia’s vast and remote tropical waters. 

As a trusted name in marine science we look to Australia’s future needs and build upon our existing capabilities and knowledge to:
• improve ocean health; and 
• protect coral reefs from climate change.

This creates economic, social and environmental benefit for all Australians.

Through our half century of pioneering research as Australia’s tropical marine science agency, AIMS is uniquely placed to provide the expert advice and solutions required to help preserve our marine estate and ensure its sustainable use.
