Queensland Museum Tropics

Hear how the AIMS is working in partnership with Traditional Owners to reframe how marine science is done on Sea Country.

Queensland Museum Tropics | Townsville

Join us for an inspiring lunchtime talk with Jordan Ivey from the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) as he shares how marine science is being reimagined on Sea Country — led by cultural authority and grounded in Indigenous rights. Discover how programs like the Indigenous Partnerships Program and the RRAP Indigenous Futures project are creating real, lasting pathways for Traditional Owners in reef restoration, monitoring, and marine science careers.Through powerful stories and practical examples, Jordan will show how co-designed, respectful approaches are not only protecting our reefs, but also strengthening self-determined futures for Indigenous communities — proving what’s possible when institutions walk alongside mob, not ahead of them.Limited Places.
