Description

This partnership builds on our highly successful, nationally awarded industry and university 10-year collaboration, providing world-class monitoring, management, and research of the marine environment, and training the next generation of industry-ready graduates. While maintaining the core monitoring and science of the existing partnership: seagrass, coral, water quality, and our education and outreach components, the next 5 years sees an evolution and expansion of the program to incorporate new elements reflecting emerging issues and priorities, advancing credible science to support port operations and protect the marine environment, and keeping NQBP and JCU at the forefront of applied marine science and conservation.
