NESP MB Project SS3 (Synthesis Study) - National trends in coral species following heatwaves
This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Synthesis Study - "National trends in coral species following heatwaves". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.
--------------------
This project engaged coral taxonomic experts to annotate existing Reef Life Survey (RLS) photoquadrats taken across northern Australia before and after major disturbances, to allow:
• Quantification of the spatial and species-level responses of Australian corals to the 2016 and 2017 marine heatwave and mass bleaching events (and cyclones that occurred during this period).
• Identification of the species most threatened by warming and cyclones, and species likely to respond best to restoration efforts.
• Contribution to a coral-specific analysis to the next national State of the Environment report.
Planned Outputs
• Dataset on % cover of corals to highest taxonomic resolution possible from surveys around northern Australia before and after the 2016 mass bleaching event.
