The reef monitoring team
monitors the
condition of reefs in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage, a program that has
been ongoing for more than a decade. The team is also involved in the
development of refined survey methods and enhanced reporting for reefs in
Australia and globally. This research team is expanding into inshore monitoring
and provides monitoring services to external clients such as Environment
Australia.

Severe tropical cyclone Hamish brought very damaging winds and
"phenomenal" seas to the Southern Great Barrier Reef over a period of
two days in March 2009. The AIMS LTMP surveyed reefs in the affected
area soon after. In this photo a large massive Porites sp. hard
coral has been picked up and toppled over by wave action from the
cyclone. A full report and results of the survey can be found
here.
