The National Sea Simulator (SeaSim) at the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) is a world-class marine experimental research facility located at Cape Ferguson, about 50km south of the CBD of Townsville, Queensland.
SeaSim’s advanced capabilities allow researchers to precisely control water quality parameters such temperature, pH, salinity, light, and water chemistry, enabling researchers to simulate various scenarios and examine the responses of marine organisms to environmental changes.
In 2021, the Australian Government announced a $36.3 million SeaSim expansion as part of the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) in recognition of the role that SeaSim plays in facilitating crucial research for marine research.
We are excited to announce that NCRIS funding will support the National Sea Simulator Funded Access Program. National and international researchers will soon be able to apply for merit-based access to use the facility for their research.
