IMOS (Integrated Marine Observing System)

The Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) is a network of advanced sensors and equipment set up across Australia’s oceans and coastline. It collects real-time data on water conditions, weather, ocean currents, and marine life. This information helps scientists, policymakers, and industries understand and manage the marine environment better, supporting marine research, conservation efforts, and sustainable use of ocean resources. IMOS provides critical insights into changes in our oceans, such as warming, sea level rise, and ecosystem health, contributing to safer navigation, improved climate predictions, and better protection of marine ecosystems.
