A healthy Moreton Bay, with its lucrative fishing, iconic turtles, dugongs and seabirds, helps support the $9 billion per annum tourist industry in SE Queensland. Moreton Bay is under increasing threat from nutrients produced by a mushrooming coastal population and from climate change impacts. Here we investigate nutrient-plankton relationships and develop a simple model to evaluate future impacts on bay health. This project will put Australian scientists at the forefront of research focused on the adaptation of coastal marine environments to climate impacts, and ensure that Moreton Bay remains healthy now and into the future

一个健康的莫尔顿湾，以其利润丰厚的渔业，标志性的海龟，儒艮和海鸟，有助于支持每年90亿美元的旅游业在东南昆士兰州。莫尔顿湾正受到沿海人口迅速增长产生的营养物质和气候变化影响的日益严重的威胁。在这里，我们调查营养浮游生物的关系，并开发一个简单的模型来评估未来对海湾健康的影响。该项目将使澳大利亚科学家站在沿海海洋环境适应气候影响研究的最前沿，并确保莫尔顿湾现在和未来保持健康
