Brief description A climate-aware future for sustainable sea cucumber harvesting. This project future-proofs Australia’s sea cucumber fisheries by developing innovative, scalable stock assessment technologies. By combining cutting-edge remote sensing, machine learning, fishery metrics, and population dynamics, the project addresses critical data gaps, powered by the largest sea cucumber survey dataset ever assembled. The expected outcome is a suite of integrated tools to ensure sustainable fishery practices continue under a changing climate. This initiative will support the sustainable management of these species while ensuring the long-term profitability for industry. Ultimately, the project enhances biodiversity protection and ensures the long-term viability of the sea cucumber fisheries across Australia.
