Dynamic assessment of threats to marine megafauna in face of global change

该项目旨在开发一种全球方法来综合全球跟踪数据集，并在全球范围内提供海洋巨型动物风险的近实时诊断，推动动态海洋空间管理的新前沿，以改善保护。这个项目希望增加我们对海洋巨型动物运动如何随环境变化而变化的理解，以及它们与威胁全球的人类活动有多大程度的重叠。预期的结果将展示海洋遥测中的大数据如何被综合并转化为具有生态意义的行为。这将为解决澳大利亚科学和研究优先事项中突出的全球科学和社会问题提供重大好处。

This project aims to develop a global approach to synthesise global tracking datasets and deliver near real-time diagnostics on risks for marine megafauna at a global scale pushing forward a new frontier in dynamic marine spatial management to improve conservation. This project expects to increase our understanding of how marine megafauna movements vary with environmental changes and how much they overlap with threatening global human activities. Expected outcomes will demonstrate how big data in marine telemetry can be synthesised and translated into ecologically significant behaviours. This should provide significant benefits to address global scientific and societal problems highlighted in the Australian science and research priorities.
