Monitoring and evaluating Moreton Bay and its catchments as a socio-ecological system

该项目将探讨如何将社会和文化分析纳入保护区管理安排，以加强对摩顿湾海洋公园和其他海洋和陆地保护区的保护。它将把集水区与海洋、社会科学与生物物理科学和经济学结合起来，形成一个监测和评价框架，为政府、政府-社区伙伴关系和传统所有者的管理提供信息。它将建设连接集水区和海洋地区的能力，提供对管理和传播战略非常有价值的社会分析，并将土著和非土著知识系统结合起来，以突出不同的文化价值和保护水道的方式。

This project will identify how to include social and cultural analysis into protected area management arrangements, to enhance the protection of Moreton Bay Marine Park and other marine and land protected areas. It will integrate catchment with ocean, and social with biophysical sciences and economics towards a monitoring and evaluation framework that informs management by government, government-community partnerships and traditional owners. It will build capacity in linking catchment and marine areas, provide social analysis that is highly valuable to management and communications strategies, and combine Indigenous with non-Indigenous knowledge systems to highlight differing cultural values and ways of protecting waterways.
