Funded Activity Summary
Restoration of Sydney's key habitat forming seaweed forests. Restoration of Sydney's key habitat forming seaweed forests. This project aims to restore a key habitat forming-seaweed and its ecosystem, by integrating experimental ecology, population genetics, eco-engineering and restoration ecology. Habitat degradation causes worldwide loss of biodiversity and ecosystem function, increasingly needing active restoration of ecosystems. However, restoration efforts often lack the critical ecological understanding for success, largely ignore major habitats, and in marine systems rarely happen at the scale of the degradation. This innovative approach, could be adopted globally to restore these crucial marine habitats. Anticipated outcomes are the re-establishment of commercially harvestable resources and new tools for active conservation of critical marine habitats.Funded Activity Details
