Unlocking the secrets of mangrove conservation success

该项目旨在解决红树林生态系统恶化的问题。红树林支持渔业、海岸线保护和碳封存。该项目旨在确定能够在多个空间尺度上有效保护红树林的社会经济条件。该项目将使用最先进的数据集和创新的建模方法来了解人口、治理和市场准入等因素如何影响红树林面积的变化和恢复成功。预期结果包括在澳大利亚和海外实施更有效的环境项目。这应该会带来显著的好处，包括更具成本效益的资源分配和增加生态系统服务的提供。

This project aims to address the deterioration of mangrove ecosystems. Mangroves support fisheries, shoreline protection and carbon sequestration. The project aims to identify social-economic conditions that enable effective conservation in mangroves over multiple spatial scales. The project will use state of the art datasets and innovative modelling approaches to understand how factors such as population, governance and access to markets influence changes in mangrove extent and restoration success. Expected outcomes include implementation of more effective environmental programs in Australia and overseas. This should provide significant benefits, including more cost-effective allocation of resources and increased delivery of ecosystem services.
