Projects
The Centre for Marine Ecosystem Research has an active research program that broadly spans the Centre's four main themes of habitat connectivity and tropic interaction, management of human impacts, conservation and fisheries biology, and stress and disturbance ecology. Listed below are projects our researchers are current working on.
- Algal-herbivore interactions in Ningaloo Reef
- Beach wrack dynamics
- Fish biology and ecology in area closure planning
- Impact and recovery from light reduction in an Amphibolis seagrass ecosystem
- Kelp wrack subsidising seagrass ecosystems
- Movement patterns and habitat use by dugongs in Shark Bay
- Seagrass and black swan grazing interactions
- Seagrass health monitoring
- Species diversity in the seagrass genus Posidonia
- The effects of western rock lobster on benthic, shallow water assemblages
- Trophodynamics in coastal marine systems
