Brief description
This project will fill data gaps and evaluate methods relevant to building a comprehensive understanding the spatial distribution of seafloor biota for the Australian marine domain, with the objective of preparing Australian governments for a future best-practice review of Australia’s marine bioregionalisation, a key information layer for national and regional marine spatial planning. The project will incorporate results from field trips to unexplored offshore areas of Australia’s marine domain.
Notes In addition to the NESP funding, this project is matched by an equivalent amount of in-kind support and co-investment from project partners and collaborators.
