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’.

Launched in 2016, the Regional Estuaries Initiative is a $20 million state government program to improve the health of six estuaries in Western Australia’s South West: Peel-Harvey Estuary, Leschenault Estuary, Vasse-Wonnerup Estuary, Hardy Inlet, Wilson Inlet and Oyster Harbour.
The Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) is a world-class centre of excellence for research and education at the University of Tasmania. Its research is innovative, relevant, and globally distinctive while its education delivers first-class programs resulting in highly trained scientists and researchers serving the needs of academic institutions, industry, government and the community. IMAS has three core research programs in Fisheries and Aquaculture, Ecology and Biodiversity, and Oceans and Cryosphere. These are linked by the cross-disciplinary themes of Climate change, Ocean-Earth systems and Oceans and Antarctic governance.
Geoscience Australia is a Commonwealth Government agency that is the nation’s trusted advisor on the geology and geography of Australia. We support evidence-based decisions through information, advice and services for a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment. We undertake baseline mapping of the seabed to better understand marine resources and assets, and to measure change over time.

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.
