Role

Principal Investigator

Description

This project will address critical gaps in habitat information by supporting the mapping of intertidal seagrass in priority areas where up-to-date data is lacking, particularly around Prince of Wales Island and the Seven Rivers region of West Cape York. These areas are essential to the management of threatened species such as dugongs and marine turtles, yet they remain under-surveyed.
