An important AIMA initiative was the development of a web based Australian National Shipwreck Database. The data has been collected by each of the State historic shipwreck agencies and is now hosted by the Environment Australia. The data is subject to ongoing editing and refining as new information is obtained.

Further information on a shipwreck may be obtained by contacting the agency in the same State or Territory as where the shipwreck is located. In some cases these links will take you to a State shipwreck database which is in a very similar form to the ANSD and which may include additional data such as wrecksite descriptions.
