Marine National Facility

The Marine National Facility is an Australian government program that funds research ships to explore and study the ocean's environment. These specialized vessels conduct scientific missions such as mapping the seafloor, collecting oceanographic data, and studying marine life and ecosystems. The facility supports researchers in understanding climate change, ocean circulation, and biodiversity, helping inform policies to protect marine resources. By providing access to advanced research ships, it enables scientists to gain critical insights into Australia's vast and diverse marine environments, contributing to the sustainability and health of our oceans.
