Abstract Aim Decision‐making for conservation management often involves evaluating risks in the face of environmental uncertainty. Models support decision‐making by (1) synthesizing available knowledge a systematic, rational and transparent way (2) providing platform exploring resolving uncertainty about consequences decisions. Despite their benefits, models are still not used many contexts. In this article, we provide evidence common objections to use decision‐making. response, present...
The role played by bacteria during the pioneering stages of colonisation on marine coatings was investigated over three distinct seasons in both tropical and temperate environments. Novel methods were developed to facilitate study adhered bacterial population test their native, hydrated state. approach eliminated destructive sample preparation techniques, including dehydration and/or removal from substratum surface prior analysis. Bacterial initial biofilm formation evaluated two antifouling...
Most risk assessments assume uncertainty may be decomposed into variability and incertitude. Language is often overlooked as a source of uncertainty, but linguistic pervasive in workshops, committees, other face‐to‐face language‐based settings where it can result misunderstanding arbitrary disagreement. Here we present examples drawn from qualitative analysis undertaken stakeholder workshops describe how the uncertainties were treated. We used process iterative re‐assessment likelihoods...
Management responsibilities for the system of marine national parks and sanctuaries declared in Victoria, Australia 2002 have created imperatives robust, scientifically defendable approaches to identifying threats valued ecological attributes parks, setting management priorities, developing monitoring systems. We are a protocol risk assessment that has due regard perception risks by individuals, ensures stakeholder values an intrinsic part decision making. The inclusive transparent provides...
Abstract The long-term impacts of declining water quality from coastal development on macro-algal communities can be devastating, but are rarely known because lack baseline studies. This study examines the effect increased sediment and reduced over 35 years in an Australian temperate embayment. algal assemblage Crawfish Rock northern Western Port was surveyed 1967–1971 2002–2006. During 1980s, declined following large-scale seagrass loss. In 1971, had a rich flora with 138 recorded species,...

Here we describe application ecological risk assessment techniques for identifying analysing risks in mallee national north-western Victoria. Utilizing a workshop setting multiple assessors, hazards were identified with aid hazard matrix. A modification...
In response to the need increase number of persons from underrepresented groups working in acute care settings, 2 hospitals upstate New York implemented a multidimensional workforce development project targeting existing and new employees meeting federally defined poverty levels. The authors describe its outcomes, which surpassed original expectations.

__Abstract__ Existing methodologies to assess risk due vessel traffic often do not account for damages marine assets in case of oil or chemical spills from ships. While some socio-economic can be quantified monetary terms, expert knowledge is the only way potential ecology. The use introduces a source uncertainty. We propose method which minimizes recognized flaws subjective assessments by eliciting sensitivity ratings multiple assessors and recognizing their differences opinion as also...
