Full description This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub small-scale study - "National Assessment of Climate-Driven Species Redistribution using Citizen Science Data". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata. This project will develop a report card assessing Australian marine species to determine species that have undergone recent changes in distribution, either shifting into each state, or into new areas within states. This report card will draw upon citizen science databases (Redmap, iNaturalist, Reef Life Survey) and use a robust decision tree analysis to outline which species are shifting, and with what degree of certainty. Project objectives are to 1. draw upon citizen scientists to identify climate-driven changes within the Australian marine estate; and 2. communicate to and engage with the public on issues of climate change and biodiversity using their own citizen science information. The report card can be used to drive public interest in the NESP MAC Hub and in the status of biodiversity in Australia. Outputs • Summary data indicating the list of species that have undergone a range shift. This will record the old southern range, an updated old range based on new compiled historic data and the new range. [Spreadsheet dataset] • Species Assessment report with analysed data and a short summary of recommendations for policy makers of key findings [written]

This project was funded by the Australian Government's Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment through the National Environmental Science Program Marine and Coastal (NESP MaC) hub with co-investment from project partners and collaborators.
