This project aims to advance our understanding of how temperate marine plants in their northern limit will respond to the effects of synergistic stressors from extreme events combined with climate change. The project will study Shark Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where a semi-permanent, salinity gradient maintained by shallow seagrass banks has resulted in unique ecosystems like stromatolites to persist. Expected outcomes include practical solutions for building resilience to climate change mitigation in marine ecosystems. This will benefit the broader Australian community through changing how we manage significant resources and services these systems support, such as fisheries, coastal protection.

该项目旨在促进我们对温带海洋植物在其北方界限将如何应对极端事件与气候变化相结合的协同压力的影响的理解。该项目将研究联合国教科文组织世界遗产所在地查尔斯敦湾，那里由浅海草岸维持的半永久性盐度梯度导致了叠层岩等独特生态系统的持续存在。预期成果包括在海洋生态系统中建立适应气候变化减缓的复原力的实际解决方案。这将通过改变我们管理这些系统支持的重要资源和服务的方式，如渔业，沿海保护，使更广泛的澳大利亚社区受益。
