Funded Activity Summary

Predicting the effects of desalination plant discharge in a changing ocean environment. This project will test whether changes to the ocean environment associated with climate change (a warmer and more acidic ocean) will influence the sensitivity of marine organisms to hyper-saline discharges. Novel toxicity tests will be developed using locally relevant species that will provide crucial tools for the management of coastal habitats.
