Cassowary Coast Green Nourishment Seagrass Program (Stage 1 Feasibility)
Cassowary Coast Regional Council (CCRC) will collaborate with James Cook University (JCU) and Traditional Owners throughout the project to look at the feasibility of managing seagrass meadows to enhance coastal protection of foreshores. CCRC will collate existing data to produce a map of seagrass habitat within their LGA and identify areas where data gaps exist for further monitoring. Risk mapping of the CCRC coastline will also identify areas most at risk and likely to benefit from coastal protection measures. JCU working with Traditional Owners will then undertake further mapping of seagrass in areas of interest for potential pilot studies for trailing seagrass as an alternative to hard engineering solutions for coastal protection. The mapping will be presented in a report along with recommendations for coastal areas to be considered for the next stage of the Green Nourishment Program (Stage 2 – Establishment of pilot studies utilising seagrass as an alternative to engineering solutions for coastal protection).
Economic impact of various non-tariff measures (NTMs) on Australian grains industry
This project aims to provide an in-depth analysis on the economic impact of various non-tariff measures (NTMs) with a focus on Australian grains industry and provide comprehensive empirical evidence (and evidence-based modelling tool) to policy makers and industrial stakeholders for mitigating negative impacts and enhancing positive outcomes associated with NTMs. In particular, the project will apply the state-of-art approach (including both the structural gravity model and the computable general equilibrium CGE model) to the product-level data to systematically investigate how NTMs affect trade, production and the overall economic health of the Australian grains sector
Investigating a potential viral aetiology for the development of multi-focal chondro-osseous proliferations in lovebirds
From the year June 2017 – 2024, 25 lovebirds (Agapornis roseicolli) presented for multi-focal, proliferative bony masses across two veterinary clinics in Australia and Europe (Melbourne Bird Veterinary Clinic, Victoria, Australia; and Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire d’Alfort, Maisons-Alfort, France, respectively).
Evaluation of NQPHN's mental health stepped care model
The NQPHN is commissioning a provider to undertake an evaluation of their new mental health stepped care model. The PAHL group, led by James Dimmock, Ben Jackson (UWA), and Sam Teague, has been invited to submit an application by NQPHN.
