Many 100's of millions of dollars are likely to be spent over the next ten years on the management of nitrogen enrichment, and protection of biodiversity, in Australia's coastal waters. This project will significantly advance our understanding of how organisms from bacteria to macrofauna affect the functioning of our coastal systems. Understanding the role that organisms at all levels play in the functioning of coastal ecosystems is the first step towards protecting this biodiversity. As such the findings from this research will have direct implications to the management, rehabilitation and protection of waterways (including biodiversity) in Australia.

未来十年，澳大利亚沿海水域的氮富集管理和生物多样性保护可能会花费数百至数百万美元。该项目将极大地增进我们对从细菌到大型动物等生物体如何影响我们沿海系统功能的理解。了解各级生物在沿海生态系统功能中发挥的作用是保护生物多样性的第一步。因此，这项研究的结果将对澳大利亚水道（包括生物多样性）的管理、恢复和保护产生直接影响。
