Unfortunately, the link to AMSI in the article headed ‘Federal government awards $2 million …’ takes you to the Association of Marine Scientific Industries rather than the intended destination. [Oops! Corrected, thanks - T.]
Excellent work of the Federal Government! The Government of the other countries should take this kind of steps for the Education!
