Brief description
Dr Christine CrawfordMy early career research concentrated on aquaculture development, including the development of the Pacific oyster and salmon aquaculture industries in Tasmania, and the culture of giant clams in the Pacific Island region. I was the Researcher in Charge (Aquaculture) for the Tasmanian Government, before moving into environmental related issues, initially the carrying capacity of oyster growing areas, followed by environmental monitoring and management of salmon farms. I then lead the Marine Environment (later Natural Resource Management) section at TAFI and secured over S14 million funding for a variety of marine environmental issues, including developing monitoring programs and baseline data collection for many small estuaries around Tasmania, habitat mapping and the role of environmental flows into estuaries. I have also developed strong links with community groups to involve them in and communicate scientific information about natural resource management.
Research and projects
My current research interests are centred around the effects of anthropogenic activities on estuarine and inshore coastal environments. These include:
