This scientist is forcing a major rethink of how we discover marine life
“I don’t have the usual academic background,” says Professor Graham Edgar, who’s running one of Australia’s most successful citizen science initiatives out of the University of Tasmania.
With a focus on minimising human threats to the marine environment, Edgar admits he’s taken an unorthodox approach to research, but in the process has shown that members of the public can produce data as accurately as a team of seasoned scientists – something that may come as a surprise to some in the industry.
“Some researchers express doubts that citizen scientists can produce information of the highest quality,” he says.
'My response is that no one would question the expertise of the best amateur birdwatchers compared to graduate biologists.'
Working with a group of 200 recreational divers who have spent hundreds of hours exploring the world’s oceans, Edgar now has information coming in from 3,000 sites in 50 countries around the globe, as part of the Hobart-based Reef Life Survey.
“They're super enthusiastic, and we’ve found that the best divers already know most of the species – they just need training in rigorous scientific methods for surveying life on the seafloor,” says Edgar.
Because of the global scale of this kind of project, it's something that a team of scientists alone could never manage. And even if they could, the cost would make it almost impossible to maintain over the long term.
But thanks to the Reef Life Survey volunteers, some of whom have spent more than a decade working with Edgar, we now have an unprecedented record of how thousands of fish and invertebrate species are responding to pressures such as climate change, pollution, and commercial fishing.
It’s also allowing us to keep tabs on some of the world’s rarest – and most overlooked – life forms, such as the elusive handfish, which looks like a sad, brightly coloured frog wearing a pair of oversized gloves.
“The issue with marine species is they’re out of sight and out of mind. We don’t have good data to be able to say how population numbers are changing,” says Edgar.
Describing his career as the synthesis of “three different worlds”, Edgar splits his time between academic research, business advising, and work with conservation NGOs, in an effort to improve conditions in the world’s reefs, seagrass beds, estuaries, and soft-sediment habitats.
It's this combination of expertise that ensures whatever insights are provided by the Reef Life Survey divers will actually make an impact. Edgar leads a collaborative research network involving management agencies, who advise on the information most needed to address the declining biodiversity of the world’s oceans.
“The volunteer divers see that what they’re doing is contributing to changes in management practices,” he says. “That seems to be the primary driving reason for why they persist, including committing to the somewhat laborious task of entering data. They feel like they’re actually having an impact. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.”
It’s one thing to feed the survey data into government policy decisions, but Edgar is also committed to making sure that the information remains in the public domain in a meaningful way.
“We’ve put together one of the most comprehensive field guides for global marine species,” he says.
“It includes information that isn’t available anywhere else. It allows people to identify the various species, and gives them an idea of whether they’re common or not.”
The Reef Life Survey’s online field guide, which profiles more than 4,000 species around the world, achieves over 12,000 page views per month, while RLS species records have already had 12 million downloads in Australia alone, and 400 million internationally.
While Edgar says the task of improving marine environmental conditions is like tackling the world’s biggest crossword puzzle, he’s assembling the kind of brains trust that actually has a shot at solving it.

Leadership
With leadership roles in both academia and business, Professor Edgar has influenced marine policy and management worldwide, while also forging new and innovative directions in ecology research.
As a global leader in Marine Protected Area (MPA) research, his contributions to public policy have been documented in submissions to the US Congress, and a recent invitation to lead a session at the summit of Environment Ministers from OECD countries held every four years in Paris.
He has also led recent efforts by an international team of experts to establish objective criteria for ‘key biodiversity areas’ in marine environments with a view to provide evidence-based recommendations to policy makers in government and industry regarding MPAs.
At the University of Tasmania, Professor Edgar’s team comprises the largest marine ecological group in southern Australia with a focus on inshore habitats. Under his direction, the group plays an international leadership role in demonstrating how broad-scale data can inform marine protection policy.
Professor Edgar also leads one of Australia’s most successful and longest-running citizen scientist projects, with the much lauded Reef Life Survey (RLS) now encompassing 260 volunteer SCUBA divers. The RLS has received multiple awards for its impact, and has redefined models for large-scale data collection on species populations.
In his years as Head of Marine Science and Conservation at the Charles Darwin Foundation in Galapagos, Ecuador, Professor Edgar contributed to the work which saw Galapagos marine waters added to the list of World Heritage Areas. His book, Australian Marine Life (New Holland publishers), has sold more than 12,000 copies worldwide, becoming the standard reference text of scientists, recreational divers and naturalists for identifying southern Australian marine life.
Innovation
Professor Edgar’s career has been defined by his ability to execute unconventional procedures that have forced a major rethink of large scale data collection within a marine environment.
Professor Edgar’s Reel Life Survey (RLS) is one of the results of his focus on making innovative steps towards a better understanding of significant threats to marine species and environments. The RLS is a far-reaching and low-cost-method for monitoring at-risk species in Australian waters using a team of trained divers in place of specialist research teams.
Professor Edgar pioneered the application of radiometric methods for identifying historical change in little-studied marine communities, and was an early thought-leader in the now extensive field of metabolic ecology. Through his work in establishing innovative ecological models for marine ecosystems, his research is enabling business and public sector policy makers to identify how threats are distributed, where intervention is most urgently needed, and how best enacted.
Collaboration
With a broad set of collaborative networks spanning the academic, business, government and not-for profit sectors, Professor Edgar is uniquely positioned to impact policy on marine protection - both within Australia and abroad.
His long-term marine protected area (LTMPA) program is one of the longest-running reef projects in the world, and operates over 5,000 km with collaborative support from management agencies in five Australian states.
His Tropical Eastern Pacific Reef consortium encompasses four Latin American countries, and the Reef Life Survey (RLS), established more than a decade ago, has brought together 260 volunteer SCUBA divers to generate the most detailed data – terrestrial or marine – ever, quantifying abundances of thousands of species at sites worldwide.
Professor Edgar is currently working to expand his collaborative network and link with the Smithsonian Institution in the US, the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), and other international partners to double the RLS network to monitor some 10,000 sites worldwide.
Impact
Throughout his career, Professor Edgar’s research has been instrumental in securing major changes in how human activities are managed in order to minimise the loss of marine species and ecosystems, while optimising the benefits offered by such a rich environment.
His collaborative work with policy makers worldwide has established sustainable management protocols for marine biodiversity, particularly in the area of advancing Marine Protected Area (MPA) planning and management.
As part of his ‘out-of-the-box’ approach to long-term data collection, the Reef Life Survey (RLS), established by Professor Edgar more than a decade ago, is now the largest global resource of population data for marine species. The RLS website provides a global field guide for biologists, recreational divers, and the wider public, with users in more than 100 countries downloading 700 million data records so far.
Data collected by the RLS has been used by government agencies with responsibilities for marine biodiversity management and marine protected areas (MPAs), and NGOs. For example, Pew Research Centre and the Wildlife Conservation Society have used the research internationally. The Australian Government heavily relied on the RLS data and Professor Edgar’s research for the 2016 State of the Environment report.
Through studies disseminated in conference presentations and over 160 reviewed journal articles, books and book chapters, Professor Edgar has made major academic and policy contributions internationally within the fields of marine ecology and conservation.
Since 2000, his publications have received over 5,500 citations, and include articles in the leading journals Science, Nature, PNAS, PLoS Biology, Ecology Letters, and Annual Review of Marine Sciences. Throughout his career, he has contributed the descriptions of 23 new crustacean, fish and cnidarian species.
In 2018, he was also named in Clarivate's Highly Cited Researchers, which recognises researchers who have demonstrated significant influence through publication of multiple highly cited papers during the last decade.

Expertise
Professor Edgar has made major contributions internationally within the fields of marine ecology and conservation, in particular through studies assessing (i) interactions between macrofaunal invertebrates, fishes and plants, (ii) important metabolic-based regularities in faunal communities, and (iii) threats to marine biodiversity. Recent studies have primarily involved investigation over time of large-scale human impacts on marine ecosystems (in Tasmania, WA, SA, Victoria, NSW and the eastern tropical Pacific), including effects of fishing, sedimentation, oil spills, introduced species and aquaculture.
A notable aspect of recent studies is that they involve broad spatial, temporal and taxonomic scales. These studies have been particularly innovative in showing that studies at continental geographic scales, where outcomes of wide generality are deduced, can be conducted at low cost. In the field of macro-invertebrate ecology, He has led development of a metabolic approach to identifying and understanding community level patterns. This novel approach has identified predictable regularities in community structure that have a basis in theories of predation, competition, consumption and production.

- Description
- This project aims to greatly improve the cost-effectiveness of actions to protect and restore shallow subtidal marine habitats by quantifying the severity and distribution of recent human impacts. Environmental change will be quantified as the difference between contemporary and historical assemblages encompassing thousands of invertebrate species, and by reading historical chronicles coded by mollusc shells layered in sediments. The roles of different stressors (warming, dredging, eutrophication, introduced species, sediment runoff) will be distinguished. Expected outcomes include continental-scale understanding of factors that facilitate ecosystem decline and recovery, and of sites and species traits most affected by ongoing threats.

- Description
- This project aims to assess the value of applying environmental DNA(eDNA) techniques to assess ecological change in reef ecosystems at the scale of theAustralian continent. It will capitalize on the uniquely species-rich and data-dense AustralianTemperate Reef Collaboration (ATRC) and Reef Life Survey (RLS) data sets that describeabundances of over 2000 fish, invertebrate, and macroalgal in transect blocks at over 2000sites around Australia, with most sites resurveyed on multiple occasions, some annually for30 years. eDNA will be collected at the same times and locations as conventional ATRC andRLS surveys are conducted, for some locations during both day and night. Sampling willextend from February 2022 to June 2023, covering approximately 30 sites, each with twosampling locations, spanning six Australian states. Genetic data on composition of fish,invertebrates and microscopic eukaryote communities will be collected. Thesis questions include: 1.How do data sets collected through eDNA compare with conventional field surveys (RLS) interms of taxonomic composition and species detectability at a continental scale? 2. Howreliable is eDNA at detecting changes in distribution of rare and threatened species? 3. CaneDNA methods be used to reliably track changing population abundance and biomass (through number of reads, % presence across multiple replicated samples)? 4. How doesthe reef community change between day and night? Overall this will add to the growing bodyof research investigating using genetic data for long-term monitoring. This project is linked toNESP (Lara has a primary scholarship from NESP) and other research initiatives CSIRO isengaged in.

- Description
- Through pathways leading from science onto public, management and political sectors, this project aims for a step-change in the sustainable maintenance of critical functions, fisheries, and biodiversity of the Great Southern Reef (GSR)the ecologically connected reef network spanning Australias southern coasts. A new The Great Southern Reef Partnership will be established to(1) integrate scientific and management efforts to safeguard the GSR, (2) advance public and political perceptions of its value, and (3) generate positive change in upper management and political domains.1.Integration of GSR science.Building on 30 years of foundational research by UTAS Coastal Ecosystem Team, scientific activities will be coordinated and extended across the GSR. Efforts of university researchers, state management authorities, and NGOs will be leveraged to better understand management options for ecosystem protection and restoration. Annual workshops will identify priority knowledge gaps, monitoring needs, and coordinated experiments extending from WA to NSW and Tasmania. Example subprojects include: (1) eDNA studies to increase ecosystem monitoring efficiency; (2) assessment of effectiveness of marine park networks; (3) tracking threatened species; and (4) continent-scale experiments to understand ecosystem function. Funds will fill research gaps that link partner projects, and salaries for personnel key to maximising project outputs and their dissemination: a project officer, data manager, behaviour change scientist, and technician.2.Communication of knowledge.A communications officer will broadcast engaging scientific findings through both traditional and social media to increase awareness of the importance of the GSR, to highlight needs for increased, more efficient efforts to reduce threats to its health, and to increase public engagement in conservation.3.Impact and alignment.Behaviour change studies will identify the social networks, preferences and relative influence of managers, Traditional Owners and key stakeholders. Diverse leaders will be engaged, and behaviour change findings applied in strategies to improve conservation outcomes across the GSR.

- Description
- Gradual ocean warming and extreme thermal fluctuations have exacerbated the need to understand how temperatureimpacts marine biodiversity. However, long-term ecological data that is systematic and comparable through space and timeis only recently available. Australia's reef communities have been well documented for years, and the country's continuouscoastline that spans temperate to tropical latitudes provides a unique opportunity to study how they react to various levelsof warming and cooling. This PhD will assess how species distributions and abundances change with temperature, where theHollsworth Wildlife Research Endowment grant will allow this project to explore the seasonal fluctuations and localconditions that impact their responses at the cooler ends of their range. By using underwater visual censuses, temperate reefcommunities will be monitored continuously at eight different locations in Tasmania. Mixed-effects modelling and linearregression will be conducted to determine the relationship between temperature and biodiversity. This information will beuseful to identify any patterns that can improve our predictions and reduce biases when assessing species responses totemperature throughout the rest of their range. With this, the project can help address the urgent demand for adequatemarine resource management under the face of a changing climate.

- Description
- This is a CSIRO Indigenous Scholarship top up - $7K per year stipend top up for 3 years, plus $10K project costs per year. This project aims to provide the most detailed analysis worldwide on the extent of biases that potentially affect interpretation of underwater visual census data (including methods used by Reef Life Survey Foundation to assess population trends in Australian Marine Parks), which may lead to the discovery of misrepresented reef communities in historical analyses. This research project further aims to quantify traits of reef species that determine their detectability using Underwater Visual Census methods. Traits-of-detectability will be defined for species and/or higher-level taxonomy (including functional groups), and correction factors applied to account for any underlying biases in the detectability of species using the RLS method. The sensitivity of predicted patterns in biodiversity in space (local, regional and global scales) and time to visual census biases will then be explored. Expected outcomes include improving understanding of biases associated with UVC techniques, and developing correction factors to correct for these biases, this project will enable more robust assessment of the state and trend of reef ecosystems, including through better representation of reef biota in ecosystem models. This, in turn, will support management and climate adaptation strategies.

- Description
- Historically, almost all underwater visual census (UVC) studies aimed at assessing littoral fish and invertebrate communities have exclusively surveyedreefs during daylight hours (Azzurro, Pais et al. 2007, Hinojosa, Zapata‐Hernndez et al. 2021), with little consideration of potential impacts ofday/night differences affecting the detectability of species. Of the few studies worldwide comparing diurnal and nocturnal counts, only one has beenconducted in temperate Australian waters, comparing the diel behaviour of four fish species belonging to two family groups (Annese and Kingsford2005). My PhD project aims to fill this substantial void by quantifying diel variation for reef fishes and invertebrates on shallow tropical, subtropical andtemperate reefs within Australian waters-i.e. the missing 'dark' reef diversity that is frequently overlooked.My PhD project further aims to identify biases and limitations which inhibit sampling methodologies from accurately recording the full spectrum of fishspecies present on reefs. Applying a focal lens on application of the UVC method to estimate presence and abundance over the day/night cycle, thisinvestigation will also look at other biases that potentially affect interpretation of UVC data, including variation between divers, disturbance whilelaying out transect lines, species' traits that affect detectability, and size biases.With support of the Holsworth Endowment, extensive day/night surveys of fishes and invertebrates using UVC will be undertaken around the continentof Australia to quantify how biases change with local context, including across tropical, sub-tropical and temperate reef ecosystems. Amongst otheroutcomes, data comparisons made during diel cycles will provide information on the level of accuracy to which historical literature has adequatelyrepresented reef communities, and how food web models could be improved.In summary, this study aims to provide the most extensive analysis into sampling methodology bias for quantifying reef assemblage data, and toincrease confidence when modelling coral and rocky reef communities.

- Description
- Marine biodiversity loss may be rapidly increasing as a result of climate change, pollution, fishing, and habitat degradation, but quantifying population trends can be extremely difficult for marine species, which live out-of-sight, are often rare and highly cryptic by nature.My PhD will involve the analysis of existing data on reef species collected through the Reef Life Survey program (www.reeflifesurvey), to evaluate population trends and range sizes. This data has been collected by skilled SCUBA divers using globally standardised methods and provide a unique opportunity to assess threat status for >1,000 reef species.This project will allow me to target additional field surveys in the Albany (Western Australia) region, which is a particularly important area for evaluating the threat status of temperate Australian marine species but remains a key gap in the currently available time-series data for my PhD analyses. Large impacts were observed on endemic WA temperate marine species following the 2011 marine heatwave at Rottnest Island and Jurien Bay, but no post heatwave surveys have been undertaken using the standard methods on the south coast of WA. This region may have provided a critical stronghold for species extirpated from the west coast during the warm years (and possibly now threatened) but follow up surveys are needed to determine this.My project aims to determine which fish, invertebrate and algal species classify as threatened using international, national, and local criteria, provide formal documentation for listing these, and inform managers and the broader community of the species and locations under the greatest threat and requiring the most urgent management attention. This project addresses numerous Holsworth interest areas, including fieldwork on Australian native marine species to identify which are rare and/or threatened and investigate their population dynamics and distributions for best practice conservation and management to maintain biodiversity.

- Description
- This project aims to identify the extent that habitat condition contributes to the ecological recovery potential for reefs inside Marine Protected Areas (MPA), relative to other potentially important factors such as management inputs, social and environmental contexts, and pollution. Project support will allow field surveys of reef biodiversity to be conducted across Australia, with initial focus on Lizard Island reefs (northern Great Barrier Reef), a decade after the original baseline surveys were completed through the Reef Life Survey program. Ecological change in fish, mobile invertebrate, and coral populations (at the same sites using the same methods) will be quantified in the different MPA zones, and include sites ranging from severely impacted by recent coral bleaching events and cyclones to unimpacted (habitat change will be quantified as part of the surveys). Data collected will contribute to a continental analysis into the effects of MPA protection, habitat condition and environmental pressures on Australian reef communities.

- Description
- Cumulative impacts of climate change, habitat loss, overharvesting, and invasive species are accelerating impacts on biological diversity. We propose toidentify drivers of ecological change affecting coral reefs across tropical Australian Marine Parks by analysing Reef Life Survey data for hundreds of fish,coral and invertebrate species recorded across multiple years at 345 sites. The accuracy of RLS data will be validated through independentobservations recorded by underwater video. After applying appropriate correction factors to standardise densities of all species per square metre ofreef, we will integrate species data in food web structural equation models with likely drivers of change (sea temperature, fishing pressure, parkmanagement zonation, crown-of-thorns seastar densities, cyclone tracks). The influences of different pressures contributing to change in AMPs willthereby be identified. Results will be communicated widely to management, science and public audiences.

- Description
- Assessing multidecadal climate-driven shifts for Tasmanian marine speciesThis project aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of multidecadal changes in Tasmanian marine biodiversity in response to climate change. Over the past 28-years, species-level monitoring of marine floral and faunal communities has been consistently carried out by scientific divers at more than 100 rocky reef sites around Tasmania, during three distinct periods: (1) 1992-1995, (2) 2006-2007, and (3) 2016-2020. Analysis of this data set will provide a critical assessment of climate change impacts, as well as projections of further changes in the different marine bioregions of Tasmania. This project is highly cost-effective as it leverages upon existing reef fieldwork costing ~$750,000 across three decades. The project therefore represents a critical opportunity to increase fundamental scientific understanding of key climate-driven changes for Tasmanian marine ecosystems. The project also aims to contribute to website tools enabling long-term changes in Tasmanian rocky reef communities to be readily explored by members of the public and tailored to provide key ecosystem indicators to inform management decisions.

- The Project aims to define how interactions between human society and herbivores influence marine ecosystem structure and function by (i) analysing geographic patterns emerging from recent systematic sampling of reef communities worldwide, and (ii) performing a critical suite of standardised field assays of fish, macro-invertebrate and meso-grazer herbivory to identify the role played by herbivores in facilitating the collapse and recovery of reef ecosystems. The Project provides an unprecedented examination of the match between a critical ecosystem function and community structure across local to global scales, including the identification of non-linearities and interactions involving human impacts on this process.

- Description
- The project examine the health of rocky reef ecosystems in the Cradle Coast NRM region of Tasmania by contrasting current condition with identical surveys undertaken in that region (and on a state-wide basis) in 1993/4 and 2005/6. I will provide information of significant value to management, including the influence of climate change of reef flora and fauna, the direct and indirect (bycatch to ecosystem) effects of fishing activities (including lobster, abalone, scalefish), influence of introduced species and marine pests, extent of recovery from cessation of major industrial pollution sources and improve understanding of natural variability across decadal scales. It is complimentary to current projects (ARC-Linkage building ecosystem understanding on reef systems) and an FRDC study establishing baselines for marine farm expansion, and will build the framework for a full state-wide assessment of reef health in 2017/18.

- The project is based around a ten day survey within the TWWHA component of Macquarie Harbour. The survey will be conducted during summer-autumn of 2015 and will focus on benthic communities (including epi-benthic invertebrate fauna and in-fauna), smaller fish communities (particularly at deeper depths) and aspects of the Maugean skate use of this area, such as presence of eggs, that may compliment past and current research on this species. The methodology will follow current practice for sampling each of the faunal groups to be sampled. For in-fauna, sampling will be via sediment cores in to a similar manner to that undertaken in Bathurst Harbour/Port Davey, Tasmanian estuarine biodiversity research, the My Lyell mine remediation study, and in Salmonid marine farm monitoring programs (including Macquarie Harbour). Replicated samples will be collected throughout the TWWHA region and at a range of depths, from the immediate subtidal down to 20 m. Epi-benthic mobile invertebrate fauna will be censured via timed swims with abundance recorded on a log scale as per rapid biodiversity assessment methods described for the Derwent Estuary.

Through experimental deployment of field microcosms, the project will investigate relationships between species richness, functional redundancy of species, and ecosystem services, with emphasis on perturbations to these relationships caused by the introduction of new invasive macrofaunal species. The importance of environmental conditions, particular disturbance, in facilitating resistance of native macrofaunal invertebrates to invasion by introduced pests will also be quantified.

- The overall objective of this project is to provide scientific information and advice that will support DEWHA in decision making in the marine environment, specifically in implementing and monitoring its marine bioregional plans, developing the NRSMPA, and support the information needs of ERIN and AWD and providing key baseline information for the Heritage Division. This will be accomplished through five tightly integrated national programs, which will include the engagement of DEWHA staff in program development prior to any research commencing. The scope is national. It matches DEWHA's responsibilities and will allow researchers to provide consistent scientific data, information and advice to the Commonwealth, States and NT. New survey activity will be focussed off Northern Australia (NW to Coral Sea), in recognition of its global marine biodiversity significance, the rapidly increasing pressures facing this region and the paucity of current information. The five research programs are: 1) National Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting; 2) Integrated Management of Marine Biodiversity; 3) National Ecosystems Knowledge; 4) Regional Biodiversity Discovery to Support Marine Bioregional Plans; 5) Improved Management Options for Listed Species and Communities.
