The AIMS Data Centre is the place to obtain online access to AIMS data. A catalogue of AIMS data can be searched to show details about each dataset. Some AIMS data are available online using a number of visualisation tools. Ensure you try some of the visualisation tools and the mashups showing interesting events on the Great Barrier Reef.

Corals of the World online is an interactive program which captures global information about corals and makes it readily accessible to conservationists, educators and research scientists alike. The program is divided into two linked components, Coral ID and Coral Geographic. Coral ID is founded on the three-volume book, “Corals of the World” (Veron, 2000) and incorporates the species data in the electronic publication “Coral ID” (Veron and Stafford-Smith, 2002). Species pages give summaries of key characteristics as well as taxonomic detail of 794 species of hard coral. Over 6500 colour and black and white photos expand on those published previously. At this time, geographic information are provided as an interactive distribution map for each species. The site also contains supporting information about corals and coral reefs.
