Assessing the Ecological Effects of Green Zones on Inshore GBR Reefs.
Previous research has shown compelling evidence for green zones as an effective conservation and fisheries management tool. However, the scale over which reserves benefit fisheries by providing stock and the degree to which they contribute to maintaining fish populations in the long term needs to be evaluated.

Protecting the next generation: Do green zones contribute to regional recruitment on the Great Barrier Reef?
To support management of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, coral reef managers need decision support tools that can integrate physical and biological information at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. In this project we will construct vulnerability maps for the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) that combines our knowledge of ocean warming, hydrodynamics, ocean chemistry with ecological responses of coral reef organisms.
