AIMS @ JCU at AIMS AIMS @ JCU at JCU   The AIMS Data Centre was created in 2001 to better manage the data of the Institute and, through doing so, to make this data and the scientific expertise behind the data available to other projects and organizations.   A I M S AIMS Waypoint - Online newsletter of Australia's tropical marine research agency. This newsletter shares the success stories, science discoveries and technological advancements that are helping us to provide cutting-edge marine science for Australia and the world.   Baited Remote Underwater Video system - BRUVS consist of a galvanized roll-bar frame enclosing a simple camera housing made from PVC pipe with acrylic front and rear ports. Stabilizing arms and bait arms (20 mm plastic conduit) are attached and detached during and after deployment. A 1.5m bait arm holds a 350 mm plastic mesh bait canister containing crushed fish.

How much do you know about your marine environment?    IBM-KEPCO-UOG project These pages describe an on-going study sponsored by the Australian Institute of Marine Science, the IBM International Foundation and KEEC-KEPCO and UOG. The main objective of the projects are to improve the management of coral reef and mangrove habitats through intensive research, international collaboration, and the use of powerful visualisation tools.   Newsroom Resources for print, radio and television journalists.   ProjectNET for schools School project resources for marine science subjects for use by teachers and students.   Reef Monitoring The Status and Trends Team continues to monitor the condition of reefs in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage, a program that has been ongoing for more than a decade. The team is also involved in the development of refined survey methods and enhanced reporting for reefs in Australia and globally.      Surveys of the effects of rezoning of the GBR Marine Park in 2004 on some fish species – preliminary findings School of Marine and Tropical Biology, James Cook University Australian Institute of Marine Science, Townsville Dept of the Environment and Heritage   Safety induction The Institute is committed to the principles of Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) and safeguarding our Environment. Adhering to these principles mean we work with our employees to provide a safe workplace.   Weather data Remote data and weather stations The Australian Institute of Marine Science operates and maintains a series of remote data stations situated on the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland and Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia.   What's happening What's happening on the reef is a portal to all the marine science activities at AIMS that have anything to do with reefs. Each link takes you to a specific area of endeavour ranging from major issues of concern to daily research activities and everything in between.
