Protection of coastal ecosystems and marine resource management (CRN)

This project is part of the Edith Cowan University Collaborative Research Network. Our research covers two broad and interconnecting themes ecohydraulics and coastal connectivity. We are interested in:

1. Investigating how wave energy structures and influences connectivity in coastal habitats, particularly seagrass and kelp; and
   
2. Quantifying how habitats are connected using ecological and molecular approaches.
   

We are seeking four PhD students to be involved in different aspects of this project.
