The Australian Institute of Marine Science is one of the most innovative and progressive research laboratories in the world with unparalleled capability in the field of cutting-edge tropical marine science and technology. AIMS was established by the Australian Government in 1972 under the Australian Institute of Marine Science Act 1972 in recognition of the importance of marine assets, especially the Great Barrier Reef, to Australia. Today AIMS is recognised worldwide for the quality of its research into marine environments, and their resources including biotechnology and aquaculture. ... [Information of the supplier]
Phenology at the Deutscher Wetterdienst deals with the periodically recurring growth and development phenomena of plants during the course of a year. The beginning of characteristic vegetation stages (phases) are observed and recorded. These are closely connected to the weather and climate and are thus suited for the most varied areas of application and for manifold scientific studies. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Bavarian Forest Institute (LWF) conducts forest research in a targeted and applicatory way. Its main objective is to design practical and concrete concepts for everyone dealing with forests and forestry. The institute is responsible for the development of skills, fundamentals and methods that contribute to: understand complex issues of the biocoenosis of the forest, anticipate risks, design forest management in a way that combines the economic use, the sustainable conservation of all resources and the protective functions in an optimal manner. ...

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) is the principal adviser to the Commonwealth Government on the care and development of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The Great Barrier Reef is undisputed as one of the world’s most important natural assets. It is the largest natural feature on earth stretching more than 2,300km along the northeast coast of Australia from the northern tip of Queensland to just north of Bundaberg. ...

In Germany, the states (Länder) are responsible as a matter of principle for the selection of sites for the NATURA 2000 system of protected areas. Site selection in marine areas was initially only possible within the territorial waters bounded by the 12 nautical mile limit, but not in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ, 12-200 nautical miles), in which the sovereign powers of Germany are limited to certain activities. However, the amendment to the German Federal Nature Conservation Act (Bundesnaturschutzgesetz) in April 2002 created the statutory basis for implementing NATURA 2000 in the marine areas of the EEZ: The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety(BMU) and the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) are now responsible for site selection, designation and administration of these areas. The BMU and the BfN are promoting an extensive programme of research. The following pages present that programme’s outcomes. These provided an essential decision-making basis for the identification and demarcation of sites of special ecological value in the EEZ of the North and Baltic Seas. ...

Das "Hellenic Centre for Marine Research" (HCMR) ist die zentrale Institution der staatlich finanzierten Meeresforschung Griechenlands. Es entstand im Jahr 2003 durch Vereinigung der bis dahin selbständigen Forschungsinstitute National Centre for Marine Research (NCMR) und Institute of Marine Biology of Crete (IMBC). Das Zentrum gliedert sich in fünf Institute: Institute of Oceanography, Institute of Aquaculture, Institute of Marine Biological Resources, Institute of Inland Waters, Institute of Marine Biology and Genetics. Die Institute befinden sich an den drei Standorten Heraklion (Kreta) und Anavyssos (Attika) und Ellinikon (bei Athen). Zu den Aufgabenfeldern gehören Umweltforschung, Technologie-Transfer, Aquakulturforschung, Multimediaentwicklung und IT-Projekte. Das HCMR ist Herausgeber des halbjährlich erscheinenden "Mediterranean Marine Science Journal" welches früher unter dem Namen "Thalassographica" bekannt war. Die besondere Aufgabe des "Institute of Marine Biological Resources" ist die Verknüpfung von Forschung und Technologieentwicklung in den Bereichen Biodiversität, Ökosystem-Management und Genetik mariner Organismen. Die Studien finden Anwendung z.B. im Umweltschutz, im Küstenmanagement oder in der Aquakuturtechnik. ... [Redaktion vifabio]
The Institute of Sea Fisheries provides the scientific basis and evaluates the economic conditions to guide the sustainable use of natural marine resources. This institute prepares decision support for the German Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV) with respect to the Common Fisheries Policy of the EU (CFP) and international marine conventions (i.a. NEAFC, NAFO, CCAMLR, OSPAR, IWC, ASCOBANS) of which Germany is a member. Through its scientific monitoring programs and research activities, the institute contributes to a general increase in knowledge about marine systems for the benefit of the international community.Based on its research, the institute enunciates advice to the Federal Ministry (Departments 621 and 622) and the European Commission (STECF, other EU advisory boards). The institute's scientific outcome also forms an important part of the German contribution to the annual advice for fisheries and marine ecosystems provided in collaboration with other European fisheries research institutions (ERA-NET) under the auspices of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES). The institute takes part in international research projects funded by EU and other agencies in order to evaluate and resolve specific questions regarding the management of marine living resources and to further improve the scientific basis of its advice. ...

The Institute conducts research to establish the scientific basis for advising in fishery political decisions of the Baltic Sea. In addition data are collected on research surveys to contribute to the international stock assessments. [Information of the supplier]
CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research (CMAR) houses Australia’s leading regional climate change modelling research teams. Our research aims to advance Australian climate, marine and earth systems science. We focus on issues affecting Australia and the world, and we provide a range of scientific and consulting services that are underpinned by this research. The atmospheric composition of the Southern Hemisphere and the exchange of gases with the land and sea are important in measuring, modelling and analysing climate change and ozone depletion.The Climate and Atmosphere theme develops Earth system models and knowledge of climate processes to make climate and ocean predictions and assess climate change impacts. It aims to help our climate-sensitive society make better decisions. Researchers use observations of the atmosphere and Earth to assess air quality, greenhouse gases and the interactions between land and air. Their work focuses on policies, actions and methodologies that are responsive to changes in atmospheric health, for the responsible use of the atmosphere and its interactions with the Earth. ...
