E-Resource Kit (Old ID 23031)
Christophe Cleguer
01 Sep 2016 - 31 Mar 2017
The purpose of the E-Resource Kit project is to develop an easily accessible decision-making support tool for Dugongs, Seagrasses and the associated Human Communities. The E-Resource Kit will incorporate decision making for the selection of appropriate methodologies for applied dugong and seagrass research and the associated human dimensions of such studies. The tool is proposed for use by researchers, non-government/civil society managers, and decision-makers in dugong range states.

Coastal wetland restoration options investigation. (Old ID 27446)
Adam Canning
02 Dec 2021 - 31 Dec 2022
Coastal restoration aims to improve and protect sensitive and important wetland areas. While restoration projects are underway most are small scale, and to achieve targets that will help government deliver on the Reef 2050 plan objectives we need to initiate large scale project sites. This project site is set to become the largest restoration site in north Queensland, and our team will be responsible for the collection of background science to support this project site. The data generated will be used to support the development of an options report outlining the full potential of restoration outcomes.
Light Threshold Requirements for Seagrasses in the Gold Coast Waterways (Old ID 26396)
Catherine Collier

Expert advice on the design, analysis and interpretation of surveys and experiments determining seagrass light thresholds; contribution to report and paper writing; provision and transport of loan field equipment
Gladstone Healthy Harbour Partnership Seagrass Report Card Proposal: Project ISP011 (Old ID 29016)
Michael Rasheed
13 Jun 2023 - 30 Sep 2026
This project will produce annual scores and report on the condition of seagrass in the Gladstone Harbour as part of the Gladstone Healthy Harbour Partnership. The project is a collaboration between Gladstone Ports Corporation, TropWater and GHHP.
Port of Townsville Seagrass Program (Old ID 22902)
Skye McKenna
01 Jul 2016 - 31 Dec 2019
This project continues the established annual seagrass monitoring program to monitor the health of seagrass meadows, assess intra-annual changes, and provide an overall assessment of the marine environmental health of Cleveland Bay and the Port of Townsville.
Seagrass surveys in the Southern Gulf 2023-2024
Tim Smith
01 Oct 2023 - 15 Mar 2025
This project is a collaboration of specialists including the Yanyuwa and Marra Traditional Owners and li-Anthawirriyarra Sea Rangers, scientists from James Cook University and Charles Darwin University, and Northern Territory Parks and Wildlife. The team will survey the subtidal marine benthic habitats within Yanyuwa and Marra sea country. Using data from the survey and other available information, rangers and scientists will work together to determine priority management areas and identify areas and opportunities for broader community engagement in the management of sea country.
