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.

栖息地恢复是制止生物多样性和逆转下降的全球优先事项，但其中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结果。洞察动物如何评估恢复的栖息地以及哪些栖息地对动物最重要的成分是必不可少的，但在现代恢复方法中缺少成分。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，以支撑自然资源经理如何恢复海洋栖息地的根本变化，并具有显着改善的生物多样性结果。
