Corporate publications The dissemination of information about the Institute and marine science research is a major function under the Australian Institute of Marine Science Act 1972 (amended 1992). In particular, the transfer of scientific and technological information to potential users and developers is an important ongoing task. There is considerable public interest in AIMS, on a local, national and international level. Public affairs programs undertaken by the Institute include media coverage, ongoing displays (both in-house and for trade shows and exhibitions), book sales, and publishing, as well as public tours and inspections of the facilities.
