NESP MB Project E6 - Assisting restoration of ecosystem engineers through seed-based and shoot-based programs in the Shark Bay WHA

本记录概述了国家环境保护计划海洋生物多样性中心项目E6的范围和研究成果--“通过鲨鱼湾WHS的种子和嫩枝项目协助生态系统工程师的恢复”。有关此项目的特定数据输出，请参阅与此元数据关联的子记录。<br/> <br/> <br/> 该项目是科学家和鲨鱼湾马尔干纳土著社区共同开发的播种和嫩枝种植方法的合作，以帮助海草的自然恢复，为未来气候变化的破坏性影响做好准备。鲨鱼湾世界遗产(WHS)的自然价值在全球范围内是独一无二的，包括叠层石、海草草甸和包括儒艮、鲨鱼、海龟和海豚在内的海洋大型动物。近期目标是扩大现有恢复研究的规模，以协助在2011年海洋热浪过后恢复主要海草--南极洲海草和南极洲海草。<br/> <br/> 计划产量<br/> ·海草恢复工具包(多媒体和报告格式)--将包括寻找合适遗传物质的信息<br/> ·种子恢复试验结果数据

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub project E6 - "Assisting restoration of ecosystem engineers through seed-based and shoot-based programs in the Shark Bay WHS". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> <br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> This project is a collaboration between scientists and the Shark Bay Malgana Indigenous community into jointly developed seeding and shoot planting methods to assist natural recovery of seagrasses in preparation for future devastating impacts of climate change. The Shark Bay World Heritage Site (WHS) is unique globally for its natural values, including stromatolites, seagrass meadows and marine megafauna including dugongs, sharks, turtles, and dolphins. The immediate goal is to scale up the existing restoration research to assist recovery of the dominant seagrasses, Amphibolis antarctica and Posidonia australis following the 2011 marine heat wave. <br /> <br /> Planned Outputs<br /> • A seagrass restoration toolkit (multimedia and report format) - will include information on sourcing suitable genetic material<br /> • Data on the trial seed restoration outcomes
