Description
Parks Australia is reviewing and consolidating marine ecosystem data to establish priority research, monitoring, and management strategies for the Coral Sea Marine Park using a Values-Based Management Framework. Direct input from marine experts is critical to identifying key threats and shaping management directives for this vast protected area. I contribute expertise on deep-reef biodiversity, oceanographic drivers, and cross-depth connectivity to ensure deeper reef habitats are central to the Coral Sea's long-term health strategy.
