The proposed research addresses a critical aspect of magpie goose ecology. Understanding the interaction between the birds and the bulbs is critical to respond effectively to past and threatened losses of important sedge habitats to sea level rise. This knowledge will inform management of the Kakadu World Heritage Site and an iconic waterfowl of great cultural and economic significance. In addition to their importance as a Gondwanan relic and sole member of the Family Anseranatidae, the species is an important food-source for Aboriginal people, and tourists travel to the Kakadu wetlands to witness huge dry season congregations.

这项拟议中的研究解决了鹊鹅生态学的一个关键方面。了解鸟类和灯泡之间的相互作用是至关重要的，以有效地应对过去和威胁的重要莎草栖息地海平面上升的损失。这些知识将为卡卡杜世界遗产和具有重大文化和经济意义的标志性水禽的管理提供信息。除了它们作为冈瓦纳遗迹和雁行科唯一成员的重要性外，该物种还是原住民的重要食物来源，游客前往卡卡杜湿地目睹巨大的旱季集会。
