Funded Activity Summary

Biological Oceanographic Mechanisms Driving Australia's Coastal Fisheries. Overfishing results in the irreparable destruction of fish stocks and biodiversity, nationally and globally. To manage marine resources effectively we must implement sustainable practices, including catch limits for low stock sizes. However a critical limiting factor in determining appropriate actions is our poor understanding of the mechanisms driving production. Our project will provide key information on the biological oceanographic mechanisms supporting Australia's coastal fisheries, linking nutrient supply, biological drivers and climate. By linking all these factors we will not only assist in determining appropriate ecosystem management but provide a knowledge base to support adaptation to future changes in Australia's climate.
