Brief description Animal movement between populations deduced from family trees - a test case on dugongs in southern Queensland. This project responds to a national research priority by developing new methodology that will assist with the management and protection marine and terrestrial biodiversity in Australia and worldwide. It aligns with the requirements of the Australian community and our industry partners by contributing to plans for the long-term use of ecosystem goods and services, ranging from fisheries to ecotourism. The outcomes will provide data on dugong movements between protected areas on the eastern Australian coast. This information is currently unattainable but is indispensable for the lasting security of this culturally and ecologically significant mammal.
