NESP MB Project E1 - Guidelines for analysis of cumulative impacts and risks to the Great Barrier Reef

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub project "Guidelines for analysis of cumulative impacts and risks to the Great Barrier Reef". No data outputs were generated by this project.

The project will develop guidance for the analysis of cumulative impacts and risks to the environmental, social and economic values of the GBR. The project will use existing information to develop guidance for use by GBRMPA, DoEE, the Queensland Government and proponents of future development proposals. The project will build on the work undertaken in the GBR Strategic Assessment and support works undertaken under the Reef 2050 plan. The guidance will provide a practical science-based approach to assessment of cumulative risks to the Reef. Research will focus on providing a general and repeatable approach to be applied at the whole-of-reef scale (to meet planning, assessment and reporting requirements of the GBRMPA) and also at the development-site-scale (to meet the environmental assessment requirements of the GBRMPA and future proponents). The guidance will be developed in close collaboration with the GBRMPA and DoEE to ensure it is practical and compatible with relevant legislation and policy applicable to proposed actions within the GBR. The project will include a case study focused on attributing impacts of pressures and their cumulative impacts on shallow-water coral reefs of eastern Australia (including cumulative impacts for the whole-of-GBR). It will also examine how this could be applied to shallow temperate reefs follow recent risk assessments conducted in NSW. Research is primarily designed to meet the specific needs of GBRMPA and future proponents. NSW DPI, QLD Government and Parks Australia, may also benefit from the case study and insights to assessment of cumulative impacts. 

Planned Outputs
• Case Study Report on GBR &amp; Coral Sea reefs pressure analysis.
• Final report - guidance for analysis of cumulative impacts and risk

NESP MaC Project 1.28 - Future-proofing the restoration and thermal physiology of giant kelp, 2021-2022 (IMAS)

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub bridging study - "Future-proofing restoration &amp; thermal physiology of kelp". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.

Kelp forests create complex habitats that support a diverse and productive community of marine life. They underpin coastal food-webs, fisheries, and a suite of other ecosystem services including nutrient and blue carbon cycling. Across much of the world, kelp forests are in decline and under threat from stressors including urbanisation, overgrazing, ocean warming, and marine heatwaves driven by climate change.

Australia’s giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forests are listed as a Threatened Ecological Community under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Habitat restoration is a potential tool for the conservation and management of giant kelp ecosystems. Given the direct impacts of climate change and ocean warming, there is growing recognition of the need for habitat restoration to be ‘future proofed’.

For restoration to be effective, the cause of habitat decline must be understood and overcome. This is problematic when climate change is driving habitat loss since it cannot be reversed or ameliorated prior to restoration. A previous NESP project led by this team (NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Project E7) identified warm-tolerant strains of giant kelp from remnant patches in eastern Tasmania, where the species has experienced precipitous declines due to ocean-warming. These strains have high potential to assist with ‘future-proofing’ kelp forest restoration, however it is still unclear what the physiological mechanisms are that provide their improved thermal tolerance. It is also unknown whether cross-breeding the identified warm-tolerant giant kelp strains will affect and potentially improve their thermal tolerance capacity.

This project explored the physiology of kelp thermal performance, specifically the mechanisms potentially responsible for the warm water tolerance identified in particular giant kelp strains.  It confirmed the improved ability of the warm-tolerant strains to develop at stressful warm temperatures relative to normal giant kelp, and demonstrated for the first time that their improved thermal performance may extend to the development and fertilisation. The outcomes progress toward the identification of populations of Australian kelp that may be resilient to (or especially threatened by) ocean warming and climate change.

Outputs
• Ecophysiological measurements from laboratory experiments of warm-tolerant vs average giant kelp genotypes [dataset]
• Final Project Report including a short summary of recommendations for policy makers of key findings [written]

IMOS - National Mooring Network Facility - Near real-time data

The National Mooring Network Facility (formerly known as the Australian National Mooring Network (ANMN)), is a series of national reference stations and regional moorings designed to monitor particular oceanographic phenomena in Australian coastal ocean waters. This collection includes surface and sub-surface observations transmitted in near real-time. The measured properties are water temperature, salinity, pressure and dissolved oxygen.

Initial data are from the Maria Island National Reference Station (NRS), which is one of a series of national reference stations designed to monitor particular oceanographic phenomena in Australian coastal ocean waters. Located off the east coast of Maria Island in Tasmania, the station has provided the longest high quality ocean time series in the Southern Hemisphere, consisting of biogeochemical samples collected since 1944 and high-frequency moored instrument data since 2008.

Previously near-real time data were collected from several IMOS moorings (the following National Reference Stations: Maria Island, North Stradbroke Island, Darwin and Yongala), and discontinued in 2017. The previous data were not quality controlled and measured by different instrumentation (WQM or SBE16V2+).

Automated quality control routines are applied to the near real-time data. The delayed mode data will be available at the end of a deployment after applying further processing and quality control checks.

IN2023_V06 ACS data

This dataset consists of hyperspectral particulate absorption, particulate attenuation, and the first order (calculated) scatter coefficient from a Wetlabs Absorption and Attenuation Sensor (ACS). Data was collected from October 8th to November 1st 2023 aboard the RV Investigator (IN2023_V06). This voyage focused on sampling mesoscale eddies and across frontal features in a strong ecologically significant west boundary current, the East Australian Current (EAC). Throughout the cruise, the sensors continuously measured surface waters through the ships underway system, measuring 87 wavelengths (from 400-735 nm, with ~3 nm spacing) at a rate of 25 times per second. The data was later binned to 30 second intervals and aligned with the ships underway system (data for this can be found here: https://www.marine.csiro.au/data/trawler/survey_details.cfm?survey=IN2023_V06). Further information on the methodology for data acquisition and cleaning of the ACS data can be found in Mears et al., 2026.

CSIRO Multibeam Backscatter Mapping of the Continental Shelf Backscatter 75m 2013 (20130147C)

A multi-beam sonar (MBS) has been used to map Australia's continental margin seabed from the marine national facility vessel Southern Surveyor on opportunistic transit and research voyages since 2004 with 0.35 M km2 mapped. The MBS data are used to infer key ecological features based on bathymetry (e.g. seamounts, canyons, terraces, banks and deep reefs) and backscatter data for ecological hard (consolidated, e.g. rock for attachment of fauna) and soft (unconsolidated, e.g. mud for burrowing fauna) substrate. Seabed consolidation inference is consistent with a seabed scattering model. To consistently infer ecological significant hard and soft substrate from the backscatter data requires minimisation of errors due to changing absorption (̃2 dB) with temperature and depth, calibration drift, changes in pulse length and estimates of area insonified due to seabed slope (&lt;8 dB). Area insonified corrections were required for both across and along-ship slopes. Highest corrections were needed for along-ship slopes in canyon regions and large incidence angles ( &gt;60°). A data collection and processing framework is described that works towards a national backscatter mapping program for environmental seabed mapping. Data collected and automated processing for depth, sound absorption and area insonified at level 2 of a possible 5 level data processing hierarchy is available. The final data was gridded at 75m resolution.

Preservation of settlement tiles RRAP CAD1-1

This experiment was designed to test whether conditioned material for coral larval settlement could be preserved for use at another time or location. It includes two ex situ settlement and rearing trials of Acropora sp. (2022 and 2023) on air-dried, oven-dried, frozen, and freeze-dried tiles. Tiles with live crustose coralline algae were used as a control. The spat from the second trial were reared under either 5 or 50 &micro;mol quanta m-2 s-1 and then deployed to Davies Reef for 1 year to see if the ex situ rearing conditions affected longer-term success of coral seeding. The data collected include larval settlement rates, crustose coralline algal and macroalgal cover, spat survival, and spat size.
