Habitat destruction and increased nutrient input are combining with climate change to threaten the biodiversity and fisheries productivity of soft sediment habitats that dominate Australia's sixteen million square kilometre exclusive economic zone. This project will develop the tools necessary for the sustainable management of our coastal biodiversity under multiple scenarios of change. Because many of the results will be broadly applicable to coastal systems worldwide, this project will generate high-impact publications that will increase the research profile of Australia. It will train postgraduate students in strategies to help ensure the sustainable use of our biodiversity and will generate collaborations with leading international scientists.

栖息地的破坏和养分输入的增加与气候变化相结合，威胁着占澳大利亚1600万平方公里专属经济区主导地位的软沉积物栖息地的生物多样性和渔业生产力。该项目将开发在多种变化情景下可持续管理我们沿海生物多样性所需的工具。由于许多成果将广泛适用于世界各地的沿海系统，该项目将产生高影响力的出版物，将增加澳大利亚的研究形象。它将培训研究生的战略，以帮助确保我们的生物多样性的可持续利用，并将产生与领先的国际科学家的合作。
