IMOS infrastructure in Queensland aims to provide an understanding of the impacts of ocean variability in the Coral Sea on the condition and productivity of shelf ecosystems along the east coast of Queensland, with a current focus on the section of the continental shelf influenced by the southerly-flowing East Australian Current (EAC). This region includes the southern half of the iconic Great Barrier Reef (GBR), the majority of Queensland’s commercial fisheries production, and the great majority of the State’s coastal population.

Principal participants include the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and CSIRO. The data collected by IMOS observing infrastructure has been used by all major Queensland universities, including the University of Queensland and James Cook University.
