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.

Title: Ports North, Ports North supports an annual monitoring program conducted by James Cook University (JCU) in Cairns Harbour and Trinity Inlet, as well as at our other ports, such as Karumba, Mourilyan and Thursday Island. By using helicopters and underwater cameras on boats, the seagrass meadows are mapped and assessed for any changes.
