Photo-realistic 3D images of sections of the Great Barrier Reef that will aid recovery and management efforts could be produced faster and more accurately thanks to a new partnership between AIMS and La Trobe University.

A new study has used drone technology and cutting-edge analytical methods for the first time to map the intertidal coral reefs of the Rowley Shoals off the Kimberley coast of Western Australia.

AIMS scientists partnered with Indigenous communities in the remote Kimberley region of Australia’s north west to monitor culturally important fish populations on coral reefs and incorporate the variability in data to better inform sea Country management.

AIMS worked with Townsville Helicopters to modify and successfully test a system to deliver and retrieve heavy cargo without human intervention from remote marine locations via helicopter.

Little or no coral bleaching has been observed by researchers at remote coral reefs off the north-west coast of Australia.

AIMS scientists are venturing out to monitor how Ashmore Reef, the Scott Reefs and Mermaid Reef in the Rowley Shoals are faring following an uncertain summer.

The Australian Institute of Marine Science has concluded its largest ever science activity on the Great Barrier Reef during a mass coral bleaching event.

The fourth global coral bleaching event, announced this week, is an urgent wake-up call to the world.

The 2023−24 summer has seen substantial climate driven impacts across the Great Barrier Reef, with widespread coral bleaching, two cyclones and several severe flood events.

The declaration of a global coral bleaching event indicates the increasing pressure climate change is having on reef systems around the world.
