Coral reefs provide enormous economic, cultural and environmental benefits to Australia and its near neighbours. For reefs to remain healthy in the face of climate change and other stresses, they must be managed using best practices. Measuring how reef populations are connected and developing new tools to translate this knowledge into improved management can enhance fisheries, ensure reef health, and protect the livelihoods that reefs sustain. This research with partners from Europe, the United States of America, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia places Australia at the forefront of addressing the impacts of climate change and enhances its international reputation as the world leader in coral reef science and management.

珊瑚礁为澳大利亚及其近邻提供了巨大的经济、文化和环境利益。为了使珊瑚礁在气候变化和其他压力面前保持健康，必须采用最佳做法进行管理。测量珊瑚礁种群之间的联系，并开发新的工具将这些知识转化为更好的管理，可以提高渔业，确保珊瑚礁的健康，并保护珊瑚礁所维持的生计。这项研究与来自欧洲、美利坚合众国、巴布亚新几内亚和印度尼西亚的伙伴合作，使澳大利亚站在应对气候变化影响的前沿，并提高了其作为世界珊瑚礁科学和管理领导者的国际声誉。
