Researchers from Australia's leading marine science agency respond to criticism by two academics that doubts much of their work
Scientists at Australia's leading marine science agency say an attack on the integrity of their research into threats to the Great Barrier Reef was flawed and based on "misinterpretation" and "selective use of data".
The Australian Institute of Marine Science (Aims) researchers were responding to accusations made in November 2017 in a journal Marine Pollution Bulletin that claimed much of their work "should be viewed with some doubt".
