Our Facilities

IMOS currently has a portfolio of 13 Facilities that undertake systematic and sustained observing of Australia’s marine environment, across scales (from open ocean, onto the continental shelf, and into the coast), and across disciplines (physics, biogeochemistry, and biology and ecosystems).

The IMOS Facilities generate transparent, traceable, comparable, and trusted data, for both scientific research and societal benefit. IMOS is an active contributor to a global initiative, the Ocean Best Practices System (OBPS), which is dedicated to improving and standardising practices for collecting, analysing, and sharing ocean data and information across a wide range of ocean stakeholders.
