Funded Activity Summary

Development of a theoretical framework for predicting responses of coral reef ecosystems to nutrient enrichment and herbivory. Australia relies greatly upon its rich natural environmental resources for goods and services and for economic growth (tourism, fisheries, and recreational industries). Our work on the Great Barrier Reef will provide a fresh perspective on the influence of nutrient pollution on corals and seaweeds. We will use new models to understand the sensitivity of reef organisms to nutrient enrichment. Our results will substantially enhance our ability to manage coral reef resources with climate change and increasing nutrient influx from urban or agricultural activities, underpinning a key National Research Priority.
