Many of the Earth's coastlines have productive seas next to arid terrestrial habitats. Much of the coastline of Western Australia is arid. Our project will determine if biodiversity in fringing terrestrial areas is controlled by the supply of marine plant material that is transported to land by waves, wind and birds. A consequence of increasing coastal usage is associated growing anthropogenic pressures on the coastal environment. Our aim is to enhance awareness of the interactions that occur between terrestrial and marine systems, and hence to increase the capacity of the public and private sector to manage marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and the interface between them.

地球的许多海岸线都有富饶的海洋，毗邻干旱的陆地生境。西澳大利亚的大部分海岸线都是干旱的。我们的项目将确定边缘陆地区域的生物多样性是否受到海洋植物材料的控制，这些材料通过波浪，风和鸟类运输到陆地。增加沿海使用的一个后果是对沿海环境的人为压力不断增加。我们的目标是提高对陆地和海洋系统之间相互作用的认识，从而提高公共和私营部门管理海洋和陆地生态系统及其相互作用的能力。
