Welcome to the third edition of "Waypoint" – AIMS' quarterly newsletter designed to keep you informed on the latest developments in marine science and technology. In this edition of Waypoint, discover the secret world of marine microbes – the final frontier for marine science, read about a freak rainstorm on the Great Barrier Reef that killed corals in its path, encounter life in the deep dark blue, travel back in time with our coral scientists as they uncover 375 years worth of rainfall records, and get up to date on aquaculture – a marine industry that is growing rapidly in Australia and abroad. Other highlights include an update on the global Census of Marine Life and a review of AIMS’ economic contribution to Australia. We hope you will enjoy this edition of Waypoint. Regards, Ian Poiner |
