This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Project B1 - "Road testing decision support tools via case study applications". No data outputs are expected for this project.<br /> <br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> This project will deploy advances in decision-support to assist Commonwealth Marine Reserve managers progress the implementation of evidence-based adaptive management throughout the reserve estate. Two case studies will treat selected decision problems in detail.<br /> <br /> Specifically:<br /> • The identification of decision thresholds that may trigger a change in management, framed within Parks Australia’s performance monitoring template.<br /> • The prioritisation of information acquisition through research and monitoring.<br /> <br /> The two case studies involve coherent integration of ecological models, social and organisational value judgements, and economic analysis.<br /> <br /> Planned Outputs<br /> • Progress reports describing interim outcomes of the (a) decision thresholds and (b) research and monitoring prioritisation case studies.<br /> • At least two publications in high impact peer-reviewed journals.<br /> • Two final reports describing outcomes of the (a) decision thresholds and (b) research and monitoring prioritisation case studies.<br /> • At least two publications in high impact peer-reviewed journals.<br /> • Training and associated materials
