Habitat restoration is a global priority to halt and reverse declines in biodiversity, but many of these efforts fail to achieve these goals. This project aims to improve the outcomes of marine habitat restoration through greater consideration of animal behaviour. Insights into how animals evaluate restored habitats and which components of habitats are most important to animals are essential but missing ingredients in modern restoration methodology. By applying novel experimental and modelling approaches to current marine habitat restoration programs, this project will generate new knowledge to underpin a fundamental change in how natural resource managers restore marine habitats, with significantly improved outcomes for biodiversity.

栖息地恢复是阻止和扭转生物多样性下降的全球优先事项，但许多努力未能实现这些目标。该项目旨在通过更多地考虑动物行为来改善海洋栖息地恢复的成果。了解动物如何评估恢复的栖息地以及栖息地的哪些组成部分对动物最重要是现代恢复方法中必不可少但缺失的要素。通过将新颖的实验和建模方法应用于当前的海洋栖息地恢复计划，该项目将产生新的知识，以支持自然资源管理者恢复海洋栖息地的方式发生根本性变化，从而显着改善生物多样性的结果。
