Resilience of Coral Reef Ecosystems to Climate Change

以科学为基础的珊瑚礁管理为澳大利亚和其他热带海洋国家提供了巨大的环境、社会和经济效益。拟议的研究将提供科学知识和研究培训，以支持澳大利亚珊瑚礁资源的管理和长期可持续性。气候变化研究对于支持珊瑚礁生态系统提供的生态系统产品和服务的可持续利用至关重要（例如，对旅游业和渔业、娱乐用户和土著澳大利亚人）。这项研究将使澳大利亚在理解和应对气候变化对热带社会和经济的区域影响方面处于领先地位。

Science-based management of coral reefs provides enormous environmental, social and economic benefit to Australia and other tropical maritime nations. The proposed research will provide scientific knowledge and research training that underpins the management and long-term sustainability of Australian reef resources. Climate change research is vital for supporting the sustainable use of the ecosystem goods and services provided by reef ecosystems (e.g. to tourism and fishing industries, recreational users and indigenous Australians). This research will place Australia in the forefront of understanding and responding to the regional-scale impacts of climate change on tropical societies and economies.
