Oceans are critical to life of Earth
The world's oceans are connected and collectively influence global climate, marine biodiversity, transport, and fisheries. So whilst Australian marine research often takes place within the Australian marine estate it does include important regional (e.g. fisheries) and international (e.g. oceanography, blue carbon) science collaborations.[Music plays and an image appears of waves crashing in on the shore and text appears: Australians love the ocean]
