NESP MB Project D7 - NESP Hub support for Parks Australia’s Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting and Improvement System (MERI) for Australian Marine Parks

本记录概述了新环境保护计划海洋生物多样性中心项目D7--“新环境保护计划对公园的支持--澳大利亚海岸公园的监测、评估、报告和改进系统”的范围和研究成果。此项目不需要任何数据输出。<br/> <br/> <br/> 此应用程序旨在促进中心在澳大利亚海岸公园监测、评估、报告和改进(MERI)系统的开发和启动过程中与澳大利亚公园接触。在2019-20财政年度，海岸公园分部的一项关键优先事项是敲定澳大利亚海岸公园MERI系统。海洋生物多样性中心将在这一系统的开发和实施中发挥重要作用。Hub合作伙伴以前在制定大堡礁综合监测框架、制定监测关键生态特征指标的程序方面拥有经验，还收集了澳大利亚海岸公园内存在的许多生态数据。<br/> <br/> 在与澳大利亚公园的讨论中，为了确保MERI系统与当前的科学知识和能力最佳地结合，中心有许多任务和信息需求处于有利地位，可以提供帮助，包括：<br/> <br/> ·回顾为澳大利亚海岸公园提出的“通用语言”，包括自然价值和压力分类、等级和定义。<br/> ·帮助确定澳大利亚海岸公园内的自然价值、压力和人类用途，并在需要时提供空间数据层，以便纳入澳大利亚公园的空间信息系统(即Wylie)和其他地图门户网站。<br/> ·审查为澳大利亚海洋公园网络中的每个关键生态系统开发的概念模型。<br/> ·审查自然价值和压力的生态风险评估。<br/> ·就确定监测和清点优先事项的程序和标准提供咨询意见。<br/> ·为确定为监测优先事项的领域制定详细的概念模型。<br/> ·协助制定监测问题。<br/> ·就确定适当的价值和压力指标的程序和选择标准提供咨询意见(注意到NESP D6项目正在帮助确定适当的社会和经济指标和措施)。<br/> ·就评估管理效力的最佳做法提供建议。<br/> ·确定现有数据集是否适合支持已确定的监测优先事项。<br/> ·就评价和报告提供咨询意见，包括结合使用定量数据和专家意见的最佳方法，并帮助确保目标、关键评价问题和报告之间的一致性和一致性。

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Project D7 - "NESP Hub support for Parks Australia’s Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting and Improvement System (MERI) for Australian Marine Parks". No data outputs are expected for this project.<br /> <br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> This application is to facilitate Hub engagement with Parks Australia during development and initiation of their Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting and Improvement (MERI) System for Australian Marine Parks. A key priority for the Marine Parks Branch in the 2019-20 financial year is finalising the Australian Marine Park MERI system. The Marine Biodiversity Hub will play an important role in development and implementation of this system. Hub partners have had previous experience in developing the integrated monitoring framework for the Great Barrier Reef, developing a process for identifying indicators for monitoring Key Ecological Features, and also have collected much of the ecological data that exists within Australian Marine Parks.<br /> <br /> In discussions with Parks Australia, to ensure the MERI system is optimally integrated with current scientific knowledge and capability, there are a number of tasks and information needs that the Hub is well positioned to provide assistance with, these include:<br /> <br /> • Review the ‘common language’ proposed for Australian Marine Parks, including natural values and pressures classifications, hierarchies and definitions.<br /> • Contribute to the identification of natural values, pressures and human uses within Australian Marine Parks and, where required, provide spatial data layers for incorporation into Parks Australia’s spatial information systems (i.e. Wylie) and other mapping portals.<br /> • Review conceptual models developed for each of the key ecosystems across the Australian Marine Park networks. <br /> • Review ecological risk assessments for natural values and pressures.<br /> • Provide advice on the process and criteria for identifying monitoring and inventory priorities.<br /> • Develop detailed conceptual models for areas identified as monitoring priorities.<br /> • Contribute to the development of monitoring questions.<br /> • Provide advice on the process and selection criteria for identifying appropriate value and pressure indicators (noting that the NESP D6 project is helping to identify appropriate social and economic indicators and measures).<br /> • Provide advice on best practice approaches for assessing management effectiveness.<br /> • Identify the suitability of existing data sets to support the identified monitoring priorities.<br /> • Provide advice on evaluation and reporting including best approaches for using a combination of quantitative data and expert opinion, and to help ensure alignment and consistency across objectives, key evaluation questions and reporting.
