The most extensive report into the state of Western Australia's coral reefs, led by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), shows many reefs have the lowest coral cover on record.

Reef condition for the far northern Great Barrier Reef is variable, according to early data released by the Australian Institute of Marine Science.

AIMS has begun a series of Indigenous ranger monitoring workshops across tropical Australia, the second of which was completed in Bardi-Jawi country late in 2018.

The vessel in our fleet is in Queensland waters for the first time, to help scientists conduct a 25-day health check of remote far northern reefs.

AIMS’ reef monitoring team is now using face-recognition technology in its annual surveys of the Great Barrier Reef.
