This project aims to develop a novel framework for predicting the future resilience of reef-fronted coastal habitats within marine parks. Through innovative observations of reef-fronted coastal dynamics, it will quantify the relationships between coastline evolution, physical drivers, reef geomorphology, sediment supply and reef ecology. Expected outcomes include new practical tools and transferable knowledge that can identify coastal regions that are sensitive to changing environmental conditions and/or reef ecology. These tools will enable marine managers to identify areas that are most vulnerable or resilient to change, allowing prioritisation of resources, conservation efforts, restoration activities, and management interventions.

该项目旨在开发一个新的框架来预测海洋公园内珊瑚礁前的沿海栖息地的未来恢复能力。通过对珊瑚礁前沿海岸动态的创新观测，它将量化海岸线演化、物理驱动因素、珊瑚礁地貌、沉积物供应和珊瑚礁生态之间的关系。预期成果包括新的实用工具和可转让知识，可以识别对不断变化的环境条件和/或珊瑚礁生态敏感的沿海地区。这些工具将使海洋管理者能够识别最脆弱或最容易发生变化的区域，从而确定资源、保护工作、恢复活动和管理干预措施的优先顺序。
