The Australian Institute of Marine Science is funded on a
triennial basis, which allows planning and forward commitment
to major research tasks extending over several years.
In
2000-01, we start a new triennium and this document describes
our plan and means for achieving our agreed objectives during
the next three years.
The Research Plan 2000-2003 is based on five Projects which
represent the Institute's Strategic Directions. Within Projects, research teams are formed and
dissolved to provide flexible delivery of the Institute's
mission in a world of competing demands and changing
priorities.
