The Sexual and Reproductive Health Needs of International Backpackers Visiting Cairns, Australia
This qualitative project aims to explore international backpackers’: (1) knowledge of and experiences with HIV and STI prevention and contraception; (2) knowledge of and experiences with accessing sexual and reproductive healthcare; and (3) knowledge of and experiences with testing for HIV, STIs, and pregnancies while travelling in the Cairns and Tablelands regions. In all, this project will examine how existing sexual and reproductive health services can best engage with international backpackers travelling in the Cairns and Tablelands regions, while providing novel insights into the needs of this population.
Small Pelagic fisheries in the Pacific – the future of nutritional security?
The project aims to improve understanding of the role of terrestrial nutrient delivery in driving productivity of a hitherto neglected fishery sector: small pelagics (sardines, scads and small mackerels) in the Western Pacific. The high productivity, resilience to fishing pressure, and superior nutritional value of these fish warrant greater attention as population and market pressures increase. We will generate data correlating nutrient dynamics and fishery production, together with ethnographic data on local fishery knowledge, to better understand the relationship between small pelagic fisheries and the catchments that deliver the nutrients they depend on.
