NESP MaC Project 3.21 - Identifying priority datasets of relevance to the Gippsland declaration area and pathways for their use in guiding decision-making

该记录概述了《2023年国家海洋和沿海中心研究计划》项目--“确定与吉普斯兰申报区相关的优先数据集及其用于指导决策的途径”。有关此项目的特定数据输出，请参阅与此元数据关联的子记录。<br/> <br/> 澳大利亚已进入海上可再生能源(ORE)快速发展阶段，分别于2022年底和2023年初宣布了一个申报区域和一个关于申报矿石基础设施区域的建议通知。迫切需要确保评估和监管进程能够全面和有效地获取关于受环境立法保护的物种的相关信息，以确保决定是以证据为基础的，查明了解方面的差距，并指导未来的研究和监测以填补这些差距。该项目将对气候变化、能源、环境和水部和国家近海石油安全局(国家近海石油安全局)根据1999年《环境保护和生物多样性保护法》确定的与吉普斯兰申报区有关的严重濒危或濒危物种的优先子集的信息进行快速探索。该项目的目标是：1)确定与这些优先物种有关的数据集和信息源；2)确定这些数据集和信息源的可获得性水平；3)根据2)的结果，评估为进行DCCEEW和NOPSEMA所需进行的评估而确定的信息的效用；以及4)确定需要开展哪些活动，以改进目前无法以可用格式获取的数据集和信息源的可及性和实用性。该项目并不打算重复NESP项目3.3已经作出的努力，即查明全国海洋生态系统的信息，并编制一份关于监测、缓解和管理相互作用和影响的公认最佳做法清单，从安装到退役，将于2024年3月交付，但将快速跟踪一些可纳入项目3.3的信息。<br/> <br/> 产出<br/> ·与吉普斯兰OEI申报区有关的数据集清单，特别是与吉普斯兰申报区相关的DCCEEW和NOPSEMA确定的优先物种的数据集清单[数据清单]<br/> ·最终项目报告[书面]

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub Research Plan 2023 project "Identifying priority datasets of relevance to the Gippsland declaration area and pathways for their use in guiding decision-making". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> Australia has entered a phase of rapid development of offshore renewable energy (ORE) with one declaration area and one notice of proposal to declare an area for ORE infrastructure announced in late 2022 and early 2023 respectively. There is an immediate need to ensure that assessment and regulatory processes can access relevant information on species protected under environmental legislation comprehensively and efficiently, to ensure that decisions are evidence based, gaps in understanding are identified and future research and monitoring is directed to fill those gaps. This project will undertake a rapid exploration of information on a priority subset of species identified by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water (DCCEEW) and the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environment Authority (NOPSEMA) identified as critically endangered or endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 in relation to the Gippsland declaration area. The project aims to 1) identify datasets and information sources relevant to these priority species; 2) identify the level of accessibility of these datasets and information source;, 3) based on the outcomes of 2), evaluate the utility of information identified for assessments required to be undertaken by DCCEEW and NOPSEMA; and 4) identify what activities would need to be undertaken to improve the accessibility and utility of datasets and information sources not currently accessible in useable formats. This project does not intend to duplicate the efforts already being undertaken by NESP project 3.3 in identifying information on marine ecosystems nationally and producing an inventory of recognised best practices for monitoring, mitigation and management of interactions and impacts that can be applied from installation to decommissioning, to be delivered in March 2024, but will fast-track some of the information that can be incorporated into project 3.3.<br /> <br /> Outputs<br /> • Inventory of datasets relevant to the Gippsland OEI declaration area, particularly with respect to priority species identified by DCCEEW and NOPSEMA in association with the Gippsland declaration area [data inventory]<br /> • Final project report [written]
