Project outcomes will improve management of coastal biodiversity through a multi-state collaboration of managers, marine ecologists, population geneticists and taxonomists. Sites most needed within marine protected area (MPA) networks for maintaining resilience of populations across seascapes will be identified, including sites with exceptional endemism or key roles in dispersal of larvae. The ecological efficacy of the temperate Australian MPA network will be assessed through analysis of long-term ecological datasets and further development of a novel 'remote sensing' methodology, whereby surveys are undertaken by volunteer divers across much greater spatial and temporal scales than could be studied by dedicated scientific dive teams.

项目成果将通过管理人员、海洋生态学家、种群遗传学家和分类学家的多国合作，改善沿海生物多样性的管理。将确定海洋保护区（MPA）网络中最需要的地点，以保持整个海景的种群恢复力，包括具有特殊特有性或在幼虫传播中发挥关键作用的地点。温带澳大利亚MPA网络的生态功效将通过长期生态数据集的分析和一种新的“遥感”方法的进一步发展进行评估，其中调查是由志愿潜水员在更大的空间和时间尺度比专门的科学潜水队可以研究。
