Marine Environment

Australia is a marine nation, extending from the tropics through subtropical and temperate waters down to the Antarctic continent, and its future is linked to its oceans. Planning for the future, whether for adaptation to climate change or the management of marine resources, requires access to the best possible ocean information. Modelling and interpretation of this data will support a greater understanding of the marine environment, including coastal ecosystems and marine resources.
