This project will continue a unique data set that documents long-term trends in coral reef communities of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). In 2012-13 and 2014-15 the LTMP will... -
NERP TE Project 3.3 - Targeted surveys for missing and critically endangered...
This project is conducting surveys of frogs and other vertebrates in ecotonal areas of the Wet Tropics and Eungella. The primary aims are to: (1) assess the current status,... -
NERP TE Project 13.1 - e-Atlas, 2011-2014 (AIMS)
The e-Atlas is a website and mapping system for presenting environmental research data in an accessible form that promotes greater use of this information. It is also a data... -
NERP TE Project 4.3 - Ecological risk assessment of pesticides, nutrients...
This project undertook a scoping study to develop a robust approach that will allow us in Phase 2 to carry out an ecological risk assessment (ERA) of nutrients, fine suspended... -
NERP TE Project 9.3 - Prioritising management actions for Great Barrier Reef...
This project will develop a cost-effective approach for prioritising management actions across Great Barrier Reef islands to maximise conservation outcomes. The approach will be... -
NERP TE Project 11.2 - Improved approaches for detection of disease and...
This project focuses on improving methods to detect the introduction of exotic animal diseases into the Torres Strait. The researchers will examine the environmental factors... -

This project uses genetic parentage analysis, biophysical modelling and information on coral trout larval behaviour to determine patterns of recruitment of coral trout larvae... -
NERP TE Project 10.1 - Social and economic long term monitoring programme...
Long-term social and economic monitoring helps reef managers understand the current status of marine park users, industries and communities. It also helps build a picture of how... -
NERP TE Project 6.2 - Drivers of juvenile shark biodiversity and abundance...
Sharks play an important role in marine ecosystems but are facing increasing pressure from fishing and other anthropogenic factors. Along the Queensland coast inshore waters... -
NERP TE Project 9.4 - Conservation planning for a changing coastal zone,...
The values of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area (GBRWHA) are threatened by coastal development through habitat loss and runoff of sediment, nutrients and pollutants.... -
NERP TE Project 11.1 - Building resilience communities for Torres Strait...
The low-lying islands of the Torres Strait are vulnerable to climate change and the region faces a range of pressures including a growing population, future climate change,... -
