This project aims to identify structural characteristics of marine intertidal habitat patches, formed by seaweeds and shellfish, that protect associated species from thermal extremes. This project will generate new knowledge about how thermally sensitive intertidal species can persist in stressful environments. Expected outcomes of this project include new approaches for building heat-tolerant ecological communities on coastal infrastructure, and improved tools for predicting the response of intertidal seaweeds and animals to environmental change. The results of this project will benefit coastal management by identifying conservation and rehabilitation strategies that maximise the resilience of coastal ecosystems to environmental change.

该项目旨在确定由海藻和贝类形成的海洋潮间带生境斑块的结构特征，以保护相关物种免受极端高温的影响。该项目将产生关于对温度敏感的潮间带物种如何在压力环境中持续存在的新知识。本项目的预期成果 包括在沿海基础设施上建立耐热生态群落的新方法，以及预测潮间带海藻和动物对环境变化的反应的改进工具。该项目的结果将通过确定最大限度地提高海岸保护和恢复战略， 沿海生态系统对环境变化的适应能力。
