For International Women’s Day we spotlight the achievements of AIMS senior research scientist Dr Jessica Benthuysen, recognised as one of Australia’s leading oceanographe

The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and marine industry collaborators have deployed the final batch of aquaculture-reared young corals onto the Great Barrier Reef in the first year of a three-year program to test reef restorations methods.

A pioneer in partnering with Indigenous Australians and an international leader in coral reef ecology are the latest recipients of the 2025 AIMS Medal.

AIMS’ new ReefCat class autonomous vessel helped scientists pinpoint the optimal locations to deploy baby corals on reefs near Cairns as part of this summer’s mammoth

A crucial tool in large scale coral reef restoration can be made cheaply and with non-toxic waste materials which could encourage their uptake in developing countries, a new study has found.

During coral spawning season, AIMS is all about scaling up. As part of the Pilot Deployments Program, we are trialling the techniques and technologies needed to do reef restoration at scale, alongside industry and research partners in the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program.  

The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) has led one of the world’s largest reef restoration tests on a coral reef ecosystem during the recent mass spawning on the Great Barrier Reef.
