This project aims to develop a novel framework for predicting the future resilience of reef-fronted coastal habitats within marine parks. Through innovative observations of reef-fronted coastal dynamics, it will quantify the relationships between coastline evolution, physical drivers, reef geomorphology, sediment supply and reef ecology. Expected outcomes include new practical tools and transferable knowledge that can identify coastal regions that are sensitive to changing environmental conditions and/or reef ecology. These tools will enable marine managers to identify areas that are most vulnerable or resilient to change, allowing prioritisation of resources, conservation efforts, restoration activities, and management interventions.

该项目旨在开发一个新颖的框架，以预测海洋公园内珊瑚礁悬挂的沿海栖息地的未来弹性。通过对礁石悬挂的沿海动态的创新观察，它将量化海岸线进化，物理驱动因素，礁石地貌，沉积物供应和礁生态学之间的关系。预期的结果包括新的实用工具和可转移的知识，这些知识可以识别对改变环境状况和/或礁生态的敏感的沿海地区。这些工具将使海洋经理能够确定最脆弱或有弹性变化的领域，从而可以优先考虑资源，保护工作，恢复活动和管理干预措施。
