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 NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Project B1 - "Road testing decision support tools via case study applications". No data outputs are expected for 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
