Seagriculture Asia-Pacific 2025 gathers top speakers, who will share their know-how within seaweed for feed, food, offshore cultivation, biorefinery of seaweed, and much more.
Australia's southern coast has around 1,500 species of seaweed, one of the highest numbers in the world, with private and government investment in research and development leading to a fast-growing commerical seaweed industry.
Collaborate with locals, enjoy a fun-filled day, and stand a chance to win exciting prizes as we work together to make a difference for our community and our oceans.
We are thrilled to announce our upcoming South West Beach Clean Up event!
Join us on Sunday, 13th April as we come together to clean up our beautiful coastline.
The event will include:
Partnering with the Wunambal Gaambera people and Parks Australia, the mission was simple: explore and better understand the biodiversity and cultural value of the Uunguu Wundaagu Indigenous Protected Area and North Kimberley Marine Reserves.
Over 10 days, a team of eight scientists from the Western Australian Museum and Curtin University joined Wunambal Gaambera Uunguu Rangers to survey 22 sites in northern Kimberley’s wild waters – some never explored before in the Kimberley Marine Park.
Together, they uncovered new insights into the interconnectedness of this remarkable seascape – its rich life, its deep cultural roots, and the urgent need to protect it.
Protecting the reefs of the Kimberley means preserving the delicate balance of species and habitats that sustain this wild and remarkable ecosystem—its future lies in our hands.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visitors are advised that this exhibition may contain the names, images, voices and works of people who have passed. Please also note one of the showcases contains baler shells with depictions of Wanjina.
The 59th annual Australian Marine Sciences Association (AMSA) conference, will be held from July 13-17, 2025, in Naarm, Melbourne, Victoria.
The theme ‘Harmony in Marine Systems’ aims to integrate Indigenous and Western knowledge systems and foster collaboration among scientists, policymakers, managers, and industry leaders. Together, we will explore how to enable science, the economy, and the environment to thrive for future generations.
Our goal is to better understand the dynamic nature of marine environments and address the need for adaptive strategies in the face of global changes.
We will highlight the advancements in solutions such as restoration efforts and the blue economy, while also investigating potential challenges that our unique ecosystems face currently and in the future.
The Biodiversity Conference 2025 brings together custodians, researchers and practitioners from across Country, academia, government, industry and community to share knowledge to protect, conserve, and enhance our incredible biodiversity.

The Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia warmly invites you to the 2024 Shape the Nation lecture, to be delivered by Dr Cathy Foley AO PSM, Australia's Chief Scientist.
As a leader in science and innovation, Dr Foley will offer a thought-provoking exploration of the role social sciences play in addressing Australia's most pressing challenges and shaping a better future.
The Shape the Nation lecture, inaugurated by the Academy in 2023, highlights the vital contributions of the social sciences to national progress. We look forward to welcoming you to this free event for an evening of engaging discussion and fresh perspectives on the future of social science in Australia, preceded by refreshments.
This lecture is delivered as part of the 2024 Congress of the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, with the support of the Council for the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, the University of Western Australia, and Business Events Perth.
The artworks in the exhibition take the viewer on a journey from the waters edge, through the sunlight shallows, into the seagrass meadows and out to the fringing reef. Stunning nature studies of everything from plankton, marine plants to reef fish and everything in between will make you want to go for a snorkel to rediscover these wonders for yourself all over again.
The exhibition is designed to delight as well as educate. Interpretive signage gives insights into the incredible diversity of plants and animals to encourage children and the wider community to become curious about these natural treasures.
It is hoped that the people who took part in events and those who gaze on this showcase of living diversity and beauty in the exhibition will want to learn more and become involved in the conservation and protection of our shared marine environment for all future generations.
