The Australian Biological Resources Survey [1] (ABRS) and CReefs [2], with support from the Great Barrier Reef Foundation [3], have provided funding to five scientists from Australian museums and other research organizations to work with the AIMS-led CReefs project that is bringing marine life new to science to the surface. The grants, worth collectively $1.2 million over three years, are joined with cash and in-kind contributions from the scientists’ host institutions to make a total contribution of $2.7 million to finding new reef life. For more information, see the full article [4].
