The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) agreed in 2008 the need to identify Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas (EBSAs) world's oceans focus future conservation and management efforts. From 2010 2014, 9 workshops had described 204 areas meeting EBSA criteria approximately 68% of oceans. comprised experts nominated by more than 100 governments a similar number regional global non government intergovernmental organizations, supported technical team that collated data...
Abstract Spartina anglica is an exotic perennial grass that can rapidly colonise the intertidal zone of temperate estuaries and lagoons. Consequently, there considerable concern about its impact on estuarine flora fauna. This study provides first investigation ecological impacts by S. in Australia. The objective was to investigate benthic macroinvertebrate communities inhabiting mudflat native saltmarsh habitats at Little Swanport estuary, Tasmania. null hypothesis species richness abundance...
Abstract Sustainable management and conservation of the world’s oceans requires effective monitoring, evaluation, reporting (MER). Despite growing political social imperative for these activities, there are some persistent emerging challenges that marine practitioners face in undertaking activities. In 2015, a diverse group came together to discuss associated with MER, potential solutions address challenges. Three were identified: (i) need incorporate environmental, economic dimensions...
Summary A robust scientific conclusion is the result of a rigorous process. In observational ecology, this process involves making inferences about population from sample. The sample crucial, and implementing survey design . good ensures that data are capable answering research question. Better designs, such as spatially balanced will also be precise possible given constraints budget. Many study areas have previously sampled ‘legacy sites’ already accumulated time series observations. For...
The Evidence Based Decision Making (EBDM) paradigm encourages managers to base their decisions on the strongest available evidence, but it has been criticised for placing too much emphasis choice of study design method without considering types questions that are being addressed as well other relevant factors such how a is implemented. Here we review objectives Australia's Marine Park network, and identify data analysis would address these objectives. Critically, We consider monitoring...
Australian science has evolved to include a number of initiatives designed promote and guide ethical culturally appropriate Indigenous participation engagement. While interest overall engagement between people marine scientists appears have grown in the last decade there are also signs that some researchers may not be setting out engage with Australians on right foot. This research seeks move beyond anecdotal evidence about by gathering empirical information from scientists' perspective. Our...
