Environmental Conservation and Management

Environmental Conservation and Management provides the quantitative decision tools and processes to enable Australia to effectively manage marine biodiversity, ecosystem function and use of marine resources. This area aims to train researchers and managers to use tools to 'see' and understand environmental problems at the systems level. Specific components will include habitat and spatial dynamics, population dynamics, the science of fisheries management, environmental risk assessment; management strategy evaluation and ecological economics.
