NESP MB Project E6 - Assisting the restoration of seagrasses at Shark Bay
This record provides an overview of the scope and research data outputs of the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub project "Assisting the restoration of seagrasses at Shark Bay". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.
--------------------
This project is a collaboration between scientists and the Shark Bay Malgana Indigenous community into jointly developed seeding and shoot planting methods to assist natural recovery of seagrasses in preparation for future devastating impacts of climate change. The Shark Bay World Heritage Site (WHS) is unique globally for its natural values, including stromatolites, seagrass meadows and marine megafauna including dugongs, sharks, turtles, and dolphins. The immediate goal is to scale up the existing restoration research to assist recovery of the dominant seagrasses, Amphibolis antarctica and Posidonia australis following the 2011 marine heat wave.
Planned Outputs
• A seagrass restoration toolkit (multimedia and report format) - will include information on sourcing suitable genetic material
• Data on the trial seed restoration outcomes
