NERP TE Project 2.1 - Marine turtles and dugongs of Torres Strait, 2011-2014 (JCU)
The project will determine the status of threatened marine (green, hawksbill and flatback) turtles and dugongs in the Torres Strait and threats to these populations. It also... -
NERP TE Project 3.3 - Targeted surveys for missing and critically endangered...
This project is conducting surveys of frogs and other vertebrates in ecotonal areas of the Wet Tropics and Eungella. The primary aims are to: (1) assess the current status,... -
NERP TE Project 12.1 - Indigenous co-management and biodiversity protection,...
The project seeks to improve understanding of practices that can underpin co-management arrangements for conservation areas, including the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area... -
NERP TE Project 1.2 - Marine wildlife management in the Great Barrier Reef...
The project aims to monitor and study dugongs, dolphins, and turtles along the coast of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area (GBRWHA) by conducting key tasks such as data... -
NERP TE Project 6.2 - Drivers of juvenile shark biodiversity and abundance...
Sharks play an important role in marine ecosystems but are facing increasing pressure from fishing and other anthropogenic factors. Along the Queensland coast inshore waters... -
NERP TE Project 5.3 - Vulnerability of seagrass habitats in the GBR to flood...
The Reef Rescue Marine Monitoring Program (RRMMP) has identified that seagrass meadows along the Great Barrier Reef are in a state of decline. This project will undertake... -
NERP TE Project 6.1 - Maximising the benefits of mobile predators to GBR...
This project will determine the movement and habitat use of large predatory fishes such as sharks and coral trout in reef and coastal environments of the Great Barrier Reef.... -
NERP TE Project 10.2 - Socio-economic systems and reef resilience, 2012-2014 (JCU)
This project focuses on relationships between socio-economic systems and the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). It comprises three interrelated activities to investigate: Resident and... -
NERP TE Project 7.3 - Climate change and the impacts of extreme climatic...
This project investigates in detail the exposure and sensitivity of Wet Tropics animals to extreme climate and weather events, such as heat waves, fires, flooding rain and... -
NERP TE Project 10.1 - Social and economic long term monitoring programme...
Long-term social and economic monitoring helps reef managers understand the current status of marine park users, industries and communities. It also helps build a picture of how... -
NERP TE Project 1.3 - Characterising the cumulative impacts of global,...
This project will investigate how coral communities along the Great Barrier Reef have historically responded to acute (e.g. cyclones) and chronic (e.g. water quality)... -
NERP TE Project 5.1 - Understanding diversity of the GBR: spatial and...
Our current knowledge of the mechanisms that affect diversity of plants and animals on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is minimal. This project will map the diversity of groups of... -
NERP TE Project 8.3 - Significance of no-take marine protected areas to...
This project uses genetic parentage analysis, biophysical modelling and information on coral trout larval behaviour to determine patterns of recruitment of coral trout larvae... -
NERP TE Project 7.1 - Fire and rainforests, 2011-2014 (CSIRO)
Little is known about the impacts of fire on rainforest vegetation or the animals which depend on it. This project will investigate the positive and negative impacts of fire on... -
NERP TE Project 8.2 - Do no-take marine reserves contribute to biodiversity...
This project is providing a direct assessment of the ecological effects of multiple-use zoning on inshore reefs of the GBRMP. Underwater visual census (UVC) monitoring of fish... -
NERP TE Project 11.2 - Improved approaches for detection of disease and...
This project focuses on improving methods to detect the introduction of exotic animal diseases into the Torres Strait. The researchers will examine the environmental factors... -
NERP TE Project 1.1 - Monitoring status and trends of coral reefs of the...
This project will continue a unique data set that documents long-term trends in coral reef communities of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). In 2012-13 and 2014-15 the LTMP will... -
NERP TE Project 9.4 - Conservation planning for a changing coastal zone,...
The values of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area (GBRWHA) are threatened by coastal development through habitat loss and runoff of sediment, nutrients and pollutants.... -
NERP TE Project 4.3 - Ecological risk assessment of pesticides, nutrients...
This project undertook a scoping study to develop a robust approach that will allow us in Phase 2 to carry out an ecological risk assessment (ERA) of nutrients, fine suspended... -
NERP TE Project 8.1 - Monitoring the ecological effects of the Great Barrier...
The rezoning of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP) in 2004 increased the number and extent of ‘no-take’ areas within the Park. This project surveys pairs of reefs, one...
