Funded Activity Summary

A mechanistic understanding of coral reef recovery. This project will provide the scientific basis to inform management policies to promote and maintain healthy coral reefs, both in Australia and overseas, which are suffering through climate change impacts. This work, which contributes directly to National Research Priority An Environmentally Sustainable Australia, will provide environmental benefits through understanding how degraded reefs can recover. The Great Barrier Reef alone is worth more than $6 billion in tourism and fisheries revenue, and understanding how to maintain healthy coral reefs will contribute to the long-term sustainable growth of these industries. It will also help ensure continued use and provision of reef goods and services to coastal communities in tropical Australia.
