NESP MB Project A6 - Prioritisation of research and management needs for Australian elasmobranch species
This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub project "Prioritisation of research and management needs for Australian elasmobranch species". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.
--------------------
NERP successfully demonstrated new ways to get the raw ingredients for evidence-based management of previously intractable species: abundance, survival, connectivity. But there is still a need to explore/demonstrate how management can use these tools (e.g. adaptive control of bycatch, or deciding if more monitoring is needed), and which species are suitable. This project comprises (i) a workshop to re-assess Australian shark and ray species in terms of degree-of-concern, state-of-knowledge-for-management, and feasibility-of-filling-knowledge-gaps; and (ii) a desk study exemplifying one pathway to management use. In 2016, we will work with DoE to prioritize species for research and explore more management pathways.
Planned Outputs
• A report outlining workshop findings, recommendations relative to data gaps and effective research approaches to address these gaps.
• A paper demonstrating how management can use new methods to examine adaptive monitoring of bycatch to assess impact
• Presentation of results to key stakeholders and end users

- Purpose
- This project will take two approaches to examine issues of data deficiency and methodological approaches to resolve these gaps using elasmobranch species as a case study. First, a workshop will gather experts to review Australian elasmobranch status and priority species for management. Second, a simultaneous desktop study will develop a process using close-kin mark-recapture to efficiently monitor and review a current management scenario (including triggers for deciding when it is safe to stop). Workshop and desktop analysis outcomes will be used as a basis for additional research and interaction with DoE over a variety of management, monitoring, and research options for threatened elasmobranchs and other vulnerable marine taxa (e.g. turtles, marine mammals, sea snakes) commencing in 2016.
