All Nodes

Australia’s marine science and stakeholder community is large, diverse, and geographically dispersed.

IMOS is guided by community-driven science and implementation planning, organised through jurisdictional Nodes spanning Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, Queensland and the North Territory, and a Bluewater and Climate Node.

With input from their respective stakeholder communities, Nodes help identify key marine science priorities and data needs. This provides a strong foundation to determine what ocean variables IMOS needs to observe, where and how.
