NESP MB Project B1 - Road testing decision support tools via case study applications
This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub project "Road testing decision support tools via case study applications". No data outputs were generated by this project.
--------------------
This project will deploy advances in decision-support to assist Commonwealth Marine Reserve managers progress the implementation of evidence-based adaptive management throughout the reserve estate. Two case studies will treat selected decision problems in detail.
Specifically:
• The identification of decision thresholds that may trigger a change in management, framed within Parks Australia’s performance monitoring template.
• The prioritisation of information acquisition through research and monitoring.
The two case studies involve coherent integration of ecological models, social and organisational value judgements, and economic analysis.
Planned Outputs
• Progress reports describing interim outcomes of the (a) decision thresholds and (b) research and monitoring prioritisation case studies.
• At least two publications in high impact peer-reviewed journals.
• Two final reports describing outcomes of the (a) decision thresholds and (b) research and monitoring prioritisation case studies.
• At least two publications in high impact peer-reviewed journals.
• Training and associated materials
