The AIMS Strategy 2025 was a plan guiding research and investment at the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS). It prioritized research and development to support Australia's blue economy and national prosperity while improving tropical marine health and protecting ecosystems like coral reefs from climate change. This strategy has since been updated and replaced by the AIMS Strategy 2030.
Key Aspects of the AIMS Strategy 2025 (as per available information):
- Focus on Australia's Blue Economy: The strategy aimed to directly contribute to the economic growth stemming from marine resources and activities.
- Improved Tropical Marine Health: A core goal was enhancing the overall health of tropical marine environments.
- Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation: Significant emphasis was placed on protecting coral reefs and other ecosystems from the negative impacts of climate change.
- Research and Development: The strategy guided the institute's research and development priorities to achieve its goals.
- National Prosperity: The strategy aimed to contribute to the overall economic well-being of Australia.
The AIMS Strategy 2025 was superseded by the AIMS Strategy 2030, which builds upon and updates the previous plan, acknowledging progress made towards its strategic targets. The 2025 strategy's specific details beyond these broad aims are not readily available in the provided references.
