Research for understanding and managing Australia’s marine biodiversity

We fund nationally-consistent research to help decision-makers manage and conserve Australia’s marine biodiversity. Our projects range from establishing monitoring baselines for Australian marine parks, to quantifying the risk of shipping to large marine fauna. Lately we’ve been reviewing the wellbeing of Australia’s sharks and rays, surveying Tasmania’s Red Handfish and restoring seagrasses at Shark Bay.
