Integrated, interactive and systematic Marine Protected Area design for sustainability of South Australian marine environments: A GIS-based, spatial optimisation approach

该项目旨在通过整合系统保护规划(SCP)、空间优化和地理信息系统(GIS)来加强南沙的MPA设计。将根据已确立的SCP原则和国家商定的海洋保护标准，建立新的综合整数规划(IP)模型。IP模型将与地理信息系统紧密结合，为系统的MPA设计创建一个交互式空间决策支持工具(SDSS)--这是此类设计中的第一个。SDSS将实现实时、系统的MPA设计，并将为SA提供灵活的设计选项，以建立全面、充分、有代表性和高效的MPA系统。

This project aims to enhance MPA design in SA by integrating systematic conservation plannning (SCP), spatial optimisation and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). New, integrated Integer Programming (IP) models will be built based on established SCP principles and nationally agreed marine conservation criteria. The IP models will be tightly coupled with the GIS to create an interactive Spatial Decision Support Tool (SDSS) for systematic MPA design - the first of its kind. The SDSS will enable real-time, systematic MPA design and will provide flexible design options for a comprehensive, adequate, representative and efficient MPA system for SA.
