They produce accurate nautical charts, conduct oceanographic research, and provide essential data for safe navigation, marine planning, and maritime security. By gathering detailed information about underwater features, water depths, and hazards, AHS helps ensure ships and vessels can navigate safely, supports maritime industries, and contributes to Australia's understanding of its marine environment. Their work is vital for safe shipping, maritime safety, and environmental management along Australia’s vast coastline.
