Funded Activity Summary

Adapting the sustainable exploitation of coral reef resources to provide for climate change. The research program quantifies the impacts of climate change on coral reefs and harnesses remote sensing technology and ecological modelling to provide new tools for reef management. Research outcomes will help bodies such as the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority adapt their management of marine production systems to take account of climate change, and thereby help ensure the sustainable delivery of ecosystem services including tourism, recreation, fisheries, and the sustainability of Australia's marine biodiversity. Algorithms generated by the study will also help resource managers better target their actions, which improves both conservation benefits and value for money.
