CSIRO is Australia’s national science agency. We solve Australia’s greatest challenges through innovative science and technology. CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere delivers world-class science that enables governments, industries and communities to make informed decisions about the sustainable use and management of the marine and atmospheric environment. Oceans and Atmosphere is uniquely placed to deliver new and improved marine scientific knowledge, information, products and services that contribute significant economic, social, cultural and environmental benefits to Australia and the region.
The UWA Oceans Institute is a multidisciplinary ocean research organisation, established in 2010 and based at The University of Western Australia (UWA). Located in Perth, Western Australia, the proximity of the Oceans Institute, adjacent to the Indian Ocean, provides a hub for world-class collaborative marine research.
Through our internal and external links, the research profile of the Oceans Institute brings together multidisciplinary research strengths in areas such as oceanography, ecology, engineering, social science, and governance to deliver answers for the grand challenges concerning the sustainable future of our Oceans.
The Western Australian Marine Science Institution (WAMSI) is a collaboration of state, federal, industry and academic organisations working together to provide world-class independent marine research.
WAMSI facilitates the Western Australian marine science community’s integrated and coordinated approach to complex research issues to inform management and industry decision making.
Our research has made new discoveries, strengthened previous knowledge, developed new tools and models as well as applied existing national and global models to the Western Australian context.
WAMSI advances new knowledge and understanding of the WA marine estate and its biological resources to provide ‘Better Science for Better Decisions’.

The Marine Biodiversity Hub is funded by the Australian Government’s National Environmental Science Program. We foster nationally-consistent research tailored 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 helped explore seamounts off Tasmania, prioritise research needs for sharks, rays and chimeras, forge collaborations to aggregate and link research data, estimate Grey Nurse Shark numbers, and establish rescue populations for the Critically Endangered Red Handfish. This year we begin working with the Malgana Indigenous community to restore seagrasses at Shark Bay.

The Australian Institute of Marine Science is Australia’s tropical marine research agency. We provide expert knowledge to develop globally relevant research solutions for the nation.
As a world leader in marine science our research:
- improves ocean ecosystem health; and
- protects coral reefs from climate change;
This creates economic, social and environmental benefit for all Australians
Welcome Reception Sponsor
The Harry Butler Institute, is a hub for the Community, Research, Business and the Environment. The Institute aims to carry on the work of its namesake, in creating global awareness about translational environmental research and demonstrating that with proper management, it is possible for business and the environment to co-exist.
