Integrated Marine Observing System
(CSIRO)
IMOS is designed to be a fully integrated national array
of observing equipment to monitor the open oceans and coastal marine
environment around Australia, covering physical, chemical and biological
variables. All IMOS data is freely and openly available through the IMOS Ocean
Portal (see AODN below) for the benefit of Australian marine and climate
science as a whole. Covers multi-decadal ocean change, climate variability and
weather extremes, major boundary currents and interbasin flows, continental
shelf processes and ecosystem responses.
MarLIN - CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research
Laboratories Information Network
MarLIN is designed to hold descriptions of datasets
collected by, or currently held within, the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric
Research plus its predecessors (Divisions of Marine Research, Atmospheric
Research, Fisheries, Oceanography, and Fisheries & Oceanography).
Pacific Ocean Library - Center for Ocean Solutions
The Pacific Ocean Library houses scientific articles,
reports, government publications and gray literature on the Pacific Ocean's
greatest threats, environmental and socioeconomic impacts, and potential
solutions for the region.

Reef and Rainforest Research Centre
(RRRC)
RRRC was established in 2006 to implement the Australian
Government's Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility (MTSRF), a major
component of the four-year $100 million Commonwealth Environment Research
Facilities (CERF) programme. RRRC now manages the National Environmental
Research Program - Tropical Ecosystems Hub (NERP TE Hub) which is examining
emerging biodiversity and environmental issues across the Great Barrier Reef,
Wet Tropics and the Torres Strait. RRRC also coordinates the Reef Rescue Water Quality Research and
Development Program. NERP is the successor to CERF and oversees four other
Hubs across Australia including the Marine Biodiversity Hub.

Coralwatch
CoralWatch is a non-profit organization, built on a
research project at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. It
aims to provide hands-on monitoring and education tools to increase awareness

Reef Check
A global network of volunteer teams that regularly
monitors and reports on reef health and takes local community action to protect
remaining pristine reefs and rehabilitate damaged reefs worldwide.
Coral Reef
Watch (NOAA)
Uses remote sensing and in situ tools for near-real-time
and long term monitoring, modeling and reporting of physical environmental
conditions of world coral reef ecosystems, include coral bleaching risks.
