A key consideration in assessing impacts of climate change is the possibility synergistic effects with other human-induced stressors. In ocean realm, and overfishing pose two greatest challenges to structure functioning marine ecosystems. eastern Tasmania, temperate coastal waters are warming at approximately four times global average, representing fastest rate Southern Hemisphere. This has driven range extension ecologically important long-spined sea urchin (Centrostephanus rodgersii),...

Shifts in species' ranges are one of the most frequently reported and globally ubiquitous impacts climate change, with rates movement being particularly high sea. The arrival multiple range extending species can cause serious issues for natural resource managers; some threaten ecosystem function while others present social and/or economic opportunities. An early indication which potentially their provide useful guidance managers regarding future investments impact assessment, monitoring or...
Humans have relied on coastal resources for centuries. However, current growth in population and increased accessibility of through technology resulted overcrowded often conflicted spaces. The recent global move towards development national blue economy strategies further highlights the focus to address a broad range industries. need manage sustainable future exploitation both over-utilised emergent is political environmental complexity. To this complexity, we draw perspectives...
Citizen science includes a suite of research approaches that involves participation by citizens, who are not usually trained scientists, in scientific projects. projects have the capacity to record observations species with high precision and accuracy, offering potential for collection biological data support diversity investigations. Moreover, via involvement project participants, these engage public on issues possibly contribute changes community knowledge, attitudes behaviours. However,...
Abstract Global climate change is leading to redistribution of marine species and altering ecosystem dynamics. Given recent poleward range extension the barrens‐forming sea urchin Centrostephanus rodgersii (Diadematidae) from mainland Australia Tasmania, there a need understand population dynamics this ecologically important in Tasmanian environment. This paper informs possible C. Tasmania by examining its reproductive ecology new Reproductive periodicity (gonad index propensity spawn) was...
Climate change, in combination with population growth, is placing increasing pressure on the world’s oceans and their resources. This threatening sustainability societal wellbeing. Responding to these complex synergistic challenges requires holistic management arrangements. To this end, ecosystem-based (EBM) promises much by recognising need manage ecosystem its entirety, including human dimensions. However, operationalisation of EBM marine environment has been slow. One reason may be a lack...
