Funded Activity Summary

Development of a coupled physical-biological model of size-structured biota in marine waters. The marine environment contains highly valued economic, social and environmental resources. Natural resource management in Australia is shifting from considering the value of a single resource, such as the South Eastern Trawl Fishery, to considering complete ecosystems with their multiple uses, such as the South East Australian coastal and shelf waters. With such a shift in perspective, Australia is a world leader. A new suite of tools is required to understand ecosystem dynamics and to formulate management strategies. By providing well-defined manageable outputs from a complex natural system the coupled physical-biological model to be developed will provide such a tool.
