This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub Research Plan 2024 project "De-risking nature repair activities in Australian coastal and marine ecosystems". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata. -------------------- Scaling up marine and coastal restoration and nature-based solutions (NbS) (“nature repair”) in Australia is necessary to achieve national and international commitments to biodiversity and climate change mitigation and adaptation. The goal of this project is to guide coastal marine nature repair in Australia at scales relevant to help meet national targets through the following aims: 1) Update a stocktake of the coastal and marine restoration and NbS activities which have occurred in Australia. 2) Develop the evidence-base to de-risk coastal and marine nature repair. 3) Scope a forward-looking coordinated framework to support continued implementation of investments in nature repair of Australia’s coastal and marine ecosystems. Addressing these aims is required to move forward beyond uncoordinated efforts to achieve effective seascape-scale interventions that support the Nature Positive Plan and international targets. Outputs • Updates to Australian Coastal Restoration Network database, and the Living Shorelines Australia database [dataset] • Draft national framework for coordinated nature repair [written] • Final project report [written]

The Victorian Benthic Habitats - Gippsland Lakes (CBICS) is a synthesis of all existing benthic habitat characterisations of the Gippsland Lakes Region which have been reclassified to conform to the Combined Biotope Classification Scheme (CBiCS). The study area for this layer is defined as Jack Smith Lake in the west to Mallacoota in the east.
