This project contributes to the National Research Priority of an environmentally sustainable Australia. The project will underpin management strategies of vegetation in saline lakes/marshes; wetlands of national importance to biodiversity. Understanding the vegetation at the Fortescue Marshes will provide vital base-information for the future, and have flow-on benefits for improved strategies for revegetation of saline lands. Improvement of the publicly available Herbarium database on samphire species will also enable improved species identifications for conservation and/or rehabilitation efforts. The project will train a PhD student in an industry-relevant research area that is currently in high demand.

该项目有助于澳大利亚环境可持续发展的国家研究优先事项。该项目将支持盐湖/沼泽的植被管理战略;对生物多样性具有国家重要性的湿地。了解Fortescue沼泽的植被将为未来提供重要的基础信息，并为盐碱地重新植被的改进策略提供流动效益。改进关于海蓬子物种的公共植物标本数据库也将有助于改进物种鉴定工作，以便进行养护和/或恢复工作。该项目将培养一名博士生，从事目前需求量很大的行业相关研究领域。
