Hazard identification, risk assessment and decision analysis for conservation and management of Australian marine parks.

维多利亚州是世界上第一个同时宣布整个海洋保护区系统的司法管辖区。新的管理责任创造了确定威胁、设定管理优先事项和开发监测系统的强有力的、科学上可防御的方法的必要性。该项目将首次制定一项风险评估议定书，适当考虑到个人对风险的感知，并确保利益攸关方的价值观是决策的内在组成部分。该协议将创建一个系统，该系统将忠于那些承担风险的人的优先事项，同时使用技术方法来确保模型的一致性，并确保监测提供相关信息。

Victoria is the first jurisdiction in the world to proclaim an entire system of marine protected areas at once. The new management responsibilities have created imperatives for robust, scientifically defendable approaches to identifying threats, setting management priorities and developing monitoring systems. This project will develop, for the first time, a risk assessment protocol that has due regard for the perception of risks by individuals, and ensures that stakeholder values are an intrinsic part of decision-making. The protocol will create a system that stays faithful to the priorities of those who bear the risks, while using technical methods to ensure that models are consistent and that monitoring provides pertinent information.
