This project aims to create a floating, mobile fisheries and oceanographic observing system for Eastern Australia. Australian oceanographic and fisheries research has been hampered by the lack of appropriately sized and equipped research vessels required to investigate continental shelf waters and beyond. The automated floating facility will provide data to support ongoing ARC-funded research programs in marine biogeochemistry, climate change, ocean acidification, coastal hydrology, biological oceanography, active acoustics, and fisheries resources and technology in the continental shelf and beyond. The expected outcome will bridge a major gap in fisheries and oceanographic research capacity to make observations in a critical region of the Australian marine estate and provide a stronger scientific basis for early detection of changes in seawater chemistry, biology and fisheries in priority waters experiencing rapid change.

该项目旨在为东澳大利亚建立一个浮动的、移动的渔业和海洋观测系统。澳大利亚的海洋学和渔业研究因缺乏调查大陆架沃茨及以外地区所需的适当大小和装备的研究船而受到阻碍。自动浮动设施将提供数据，以支持正在进行的ARC资助的海洋生物地球化学，气候变化，海洋酸化，沿海水文学，生物海洋学，主动声学以及大陆架及以外的渔业资源和技术研究计划。预期成果将弥补渔业和海洋学研究能力方面的重大差距，以便在澳大利亚海洋产业的一个关键区域进行观测，并为在经历迅速变化的优先沃茨及早发现海水化学、生物和渔业的变化提供更有力的科学依据。
