Dynamic assessment of threats to marine megafauna in face of global change

该项目旨在制定一种全球办法，综合全球跟踪数据集，在全球范围内对海洋大型动物的风险进行近乎实时的诊断，推动在动态海洋空间管理方面开辟一个新的前沿领域，以改进养护工作。该项目期望增加我们对海洋大型动物运动如何随环境变化而变化以及它们与威胁全球的人类活动有多大重叠的理解。预期结果将展示如何综合海洋遥测中的大数据，并将其转化为具有生态意义的行为。这将为解决澳大利亚科学和研究优先事项中强调的全球科学和社会问题提供重大益处。

This project aims to develop a global approach to synthesise global tracking datasets and deliver near real-time diagnostics on risks for marine megafauna at a global scale pushing forward a new frontier in dynamic marine spatial management to improve conservation. This project expects to increase our understanding of how marine megafauna movements vary with environmental changes and how much they overlap with threatening global human activities. Expected outcomes will demonstrate how big data in marine telemetry can be synthesised and translated into ecologically significant behaviours. This should provide significant benefits to address global scientific and societal problems highlighted in the Australian science and research priorities.
