Achievements

Over the past 20 years, my research and engagement in collaborative projects have contributed widely to our understanding of the biodiversity and ecology of temperate reef systems in Australia. This has contributed in a variety of ways to marine protected area management and planning, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable fisheries management through an improved understanding of the system-wide effects of fishing. Many of the inshore reef monitoring protocols we have developed are now in widespread use by management and research agencies, and we are now focussing on similar standard method designs for inventory and monitoring of Australia's new Commonwealth Marine Reserve network in offshore waters.

General Responsibilities

Within IMAS, I lead the UTAS engagement with the NERP Marine Biodiversity Hub, a collaborative research program linking researchers from agencies such as IMAS/CSIRO/Geosciences Australia and the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) to provide focussed research and advice to the Commonwealth government on a wide range of marine biodiversity issues.

My other general role has been to work with a range of Tasmanian government agencies to undertake research on biodiversity and provide advice at a regional scale.

Research and Projects

Current projects include:

NERP Hub projects examining methods for inventory and monitoring of Commonwealth Marine Reserves and development of appropriate indicators for Marine Protected Area (MPA) and State of the Environment monitoring and evaluation.
Research and monitoring of the performance of MPAs in Tasmania, NSW, SA and WA following protection and the changes associated with these, including target and bycatch species, as well as cascading ecosystem effects.
Development of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) as a key platform for biodiversity inventory and monitoring in deep shelf to shelf-break waters, and understanding the biology and ecology of threatened species such as Spotted handfish and Maugean skates.

Potential PhD projects include:

Development of baited underwater video as key tools for monitoring fish assemblages in deep water Commonwealth Marine Reserves,
Developing video-based techniques for use on Autonomous Underwater Vehicles to understand fish/habitat relationships in deep shelf waters and monitoring fish stocks for fishery and conservation management,
Assessing a large AUV derived image dataset for cross-shelf, habitat related, and bioregional patterns in biodiversity,
Utilising AUV derived stereo imagery to derive appropriate indicators for monitoring deep shelf environments for MPA and fishery management (indicators may include diversity, sponge height/biomass, fish stock structure, etc.).
Analysis of long-term monitoring data (fish, invertebrates and macroalgae) from temperate Australian MPA's and related temperate systems for determination of MPA effectiveness, and system-wide effects of fishing.
Analysis of broad spatial and temporal datasets of fish, invertebrate and macroalgal species on temperate reefs to explore and explain biogeographic patterns in assemblages, ecosystem function, and species distribution. Potentially with a particular focus on recent climate changes and the extent these alter reef systems.

Current Projects

Projects within the NERP Marine Biodiversity Hub include 1)exploring appropriate methods to describe, monitor and inventory the habitats and biodiversity attributes of the new Commonwealth Marine Reserve Network, and the Commonwealth marine estate, 2) developing appropriate indicators for reporting on MPA effectiveness and state of environment reporting.

ARC-Linkage with marine conservation agencies in multiple temperate Australian states monitoring current MPA performance and examining genetic connectivity at multiple spatial scales

Monitoring of Tasmanian MPAs and rocky reef environmental health, describing long-term changes in marine ecosystems following protection, including changes in target species, bycatch species, system-wide effects, and comparing these to adjacent coastlines to understand natural variability, effects of fishing, climate change, introduced species, and ecosystem function.

ARC Super Science Postdoc program utilising Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) derived imagery to describe shallow to deep shelf reef associated flora and fauna and their relationship with physical drivers to assess and predict likely species distributional changes associated with a predicted warming ocean in the SE Australian region.

Facilitating engagement of the IMOS AUV facility in Tasmanian regional waters to provide ongoing annual observing of temperate rocky reef biota and ecosystems to determine the extent of changes through time, their spatial and temporal trajectories and the physical processes that underpin and explain them.

FRDC project examining the ecology and biology of the Maugean skate in Macquarie Harbour, including long and short-term movement patterns and depth distribution, with the aim of ensuring the long-term conservation of this rare and unique.FRDC project examining deep reef fish assemblages in SE Tasmanian waters to further our understanding of the extent these are utilised by commercially targeted species with the aim of improving the reliability of stock assessments.

Projects

Developing a cost-effective and novel fisheries-independent monitoring program to inform scalefish fisheries management (2024 - 2026)$370,386

Description: Target species of Tasmanian scalefish fisheries (TSF) remain difficult to assess and manage due to the wide range of species and variety of both commercial and recreational fisheries methods. TSF are currently assessed using commercial catch and effort data as well as age and length information. However, some key TSF species landings are increasingly greater in the recreational sector, with a comparatively low commercial catch. Therefore, due to the absence of regular and robust CPUE data, innovative fishery independent data collection programs are required to routinely monitor TSF species and provide adequate data for stock assessment models. This project will review and collate data from previous studies to design and test strategic and cost-effective novel fishery-independent survey methods that collect population dynamics data for a suite of key scalefish fisheries species, across both environmental and fishing intensity gradients in Tasmania. Outcomes will improve stock assessment methods by providing new and additional data for data-poor and undefined species, and, if proven cost-effective, establish an ongoing, long-term fishery-independent monitoring program to enhance the sustainability of TSF. Informing data-poor stock novel assessment approaches will have implications for fisheries managers making critical management decisions for depleted, depleting, and undefined TSF species.

Targeted knowledge extraction and communications products from existing marine imagery in AMPs (2023 - 2024)$181,784

Description: The use of underwater imaging for characterising and monitoring marine ecosystems has become increasingly popular. However, the rapid collection of imagery has outpaced our ability to efficiently draw useful information and insights from the data. The lack of standardisation in annotation schemes/vocabularies used for annotation poses a challenge to management when working with annotation data from disparate groups and projects.To address these issues, SQUIDLE+ was developed as a centralised marine image data management, discovery and annotation platform. It is built on open-source infrastructure and offers advanced workflows for analysing marine imagery, expediting the delivery of data to end-users and facilitating the FAIR of marine image data. Currently, SQUIDLE+ hosts over 2 million images within Australian Marine Parks (AMPs), with only about 40% of these images having been annotated. While it is not necessary to annotate all these images for the assessment of biodiversity values within these AMPs, there are significant imagery collections remain yet to be adequately explored.This project aims to expand temporal and/or spatial biodiversity knowledge within Australian Marine Parks by using imagery already accessible in SQUIDLE+. This may include a combination of standard biodiversity assessments following the NESP SOPs, as well as a trial of the extraction of targeted indicators using machine learning. The choice of these indicators will be determined during planning meetings, and likely be influenced by recommendations from NESP Project 2.3 that aims to help Parks Australia report on the status and trends within their AMPs. Additionally, this project will expand on a current Our Marine Park Grant (4-HAY3RNA) to include assets within deep reef associated KNVs for northern and north-western AMPs. The project will also further complement recent/existing funding to target annotations for other priority locations as determined in an initial planning meeting for the project.

Quantifying Banded Morwong, Bluethroat Wrasse and Purple Wrasse abundance and movements to sustain key fisheries in Tas (2023 - 2025)$75,000

Description: Key reef fishery species in Tasmania are assumed to be sustainably fished. However, uncertainty about localised depletion and the exchange of individuals between heavily and lightly fished areas have raised concerns over the long-term sustainability of dependent operations. This uncertainty is of fundamental importance to the management of the commercial fisheries sector, given that state-wide and large-scale regional assessments of trends in catch, effort and catch rates are insensitive to potential changes in abundance at the level of individual reefs, which is the putative scale at which the fishery impacts populations. Marked regional shifts in reef fishing effort have been reported and may have masked localised depletion, with fishers suspected to move to new or lightly fished areas to maintain high catches and catch rates. Moreover, for Banded Morwong, there is a lack of empirical data to determine the appropriate structure and parameterisation of the stock assessment model to represent fish population biomass and exchange across shallow and deeper-water (>30 m) reef habitats. A more conservative version of the current stock assessment model has been introduced to account for this uncertainty, but associated model predictions result in a shift of population status classification from Sustainable to Depleted. This project will address these uncertainties by studying the abundance and movements of key reef fishes in Tasmania along environmental gradients and levels of human impact.

Description: This project aims to advance the establishment and use of national standards and best practices to monitor the condition status of priority values and pressures of Australia's marine estate. We will achieve this by building on the national standards and best practice process developed in the previous NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub to produce three new national standards for monitoring (drop cameras, socioeconomic surveys of marine users, marine microplastics). We will also develop a practical implementation plan to embed the application of standards, with particular attention to inclusive and diverse approaches (e.g. engagement of community groups and Indigenous partnerships). The plan will set out a future path to develop, maintain and make available national standards; increase their uptake; and assess effectiveness and impact as related to the delivery of priority monitoring activities.

NESP MaC 2.1: Mapping temperate continental shelf seabed habitats (2022)$325,772

Description: This project aims to fill in key information gaps in our knowledge of the extent and distribution seabed habitats for continental shelf regions of temperate Australia, with a focus on collecting and collating new observation information in temperate marine parks. The project will also develop data workflows, building on the previous mapping, that will allow the national ecosystem map in temperate regions to be rapidly updated as new information becomes available. The work builds on seabed mapping programs led through previous NESP Hubs and regional projects led by research institutions and State agencies, with seabed data collated and managed through initiatives such as SeaMap Australia and AusSeaBed. While detailed habitat mapping has been substantially advanced by State governments in many coastal regions (i.e. mostly with State jurisdictions), Commonwealth waters of the continental shelf typically lack detailed habitat maps and, at best, have coarse resolution bathymetric layers. The project will improve our understanding of the distribution and extent of habitats on the continental shelf in temperate Australia, with a particular focus on rocky reefs which represent important natural values in the Australian Marine Park networks.

Comparison on long-term diver-based monitoring methods with new remote-sensing approaches in Western Australia (2021)$6,490

Description: At IMAS (Barrett, Edgar, Stuart-Smith etc) we have been researching coastal MPAs over the past three decades and this forms a core-part of our research capability and expertise, as well as a nationally valuable and open-access database on coastal biodiversity, short to long-term variability, and effects of human impacts, climate change and major physical drivers. Long-term datasets are incredibly rare, thus, continuing this work becomes increasingly invaluable with every extra year. However, diver-based programs are becoming expensive due to over-regulation and many agencies are seeking alternative approaches while continuing with similar data standards and quality. This new project involves a comparison of diver-based monitoring methods on rocky reef fishes, mobile invertebrates and macroalgae (using our standard operating protocols) with alternative remote-sensing approaches using Remote Operated Videos (ROVS) and Baited Underwater videos (BRUVS) in the Jurien Bay Marine Park where we have an extensive time-series going back to 1999. That time-series has been gathered in a long sequence of collaborative studies with the WA Government, funded by FRDC, ARC Discovery and ARC-linkage grants. However, as we currently do not have a ARC-Linkage ARC in place, our WA Government partners are seeking alternatives to this in the meantime, including remote-sensing. We had intended to complete this methods comparison as part of our last ARC-Linkage but that opportunity was impacted by COVID before the Linkage finished. This project will complete that proposed work, allow continuation of the invaluable time-series in Jurien Bay, and allow the WA Government to explore the merits of alternative remote-sensing methods for monitoring within their marine parks. Here, our expertise is involved by provision of our highly experienced senior technical officer Liz Oh to guide the field program. We are only recovering salary for this work (for Liz Oh only) as the WA Government are covering all other components, including additional staff in WA for diving, airfares and accommodation.

Tasmanias Marine Atlas (2021 - 2023)$499,646

Description: Marine spatial planning (MSP) has emerged in recent years as a tool for sea use management and helps with the difficult issue of managing multiple users accessing the same space. A process that brings together multiple users of the marine environment to make informed and coordinated decisions about how to use marine resources sustainably, MSP has been heralded as a means by which to reduce conflict over marine and coastal resources, and to assist regarding decisions about the impacts that one use may have on another, as well as the cumulative effects of a multi-use marine environment.Geographical information systems (GIS) have become an essential tool for informing the management of marine areas, especially through MSP. GIS allows the identification of regions of high and/or conflicting usage. A key step prior to the start of an MSP process is to define and analyse existing conditions, to collect and map appropriate information about the biophysical environment as well as human activities. This project addresses this key step. While much marine spatial data is already available through e.g. SeaMap (a national program to collate seafloor habitat data), there is a wealth of other information about the Tasmanian marine environment. Additional biophysical data may include e.g. currents or wave height. Human activity/use data may include e.g. dwellings, harbours, shipping lanes and fishing. This project will draw together spatially-resolved datasets required for ecosystem-based marine management using MSP, for Tasmanian State waters, and will identify gaps which may support future data collection campaigns.Furthermore, this project will investigate the development of simple overlay tools to identify trade-offs at various scales and resolutions of interest, and provide planning for database longevity to continue to assist ecosystem-based decision-making into the future.

Assessing multidecadal climate-driven shifts for Tasmanian marine species (2020 - 2021)$48,314

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.

Understanding the spatial links between geomorphology and biodiversity distribution in the Coral Sea Australian Marine Park. (2019)$0

Description: Our research will reveal how deep water benthic habitats are related to geomorphic features on the seafloor. Using advance marine sonar and deep under water video technology we will examine how different habitats are distributed across a variety of geomorphic structures within the Coral Sea Marine Park. The seafloor habitats in this marine park are poorly understood and given the recent release of the Australian Marine Park (AMP) rezoning it is particularly important to understand the variability of these habitats. We can use this data to compare to seamount habitats in temperate locations such as the Huon AMP.

Storm Bay Observing System: Assessing the Performance of Aquaculture Development (2019 - 2024)$4,246,930

Description: Storm Bay is identified in the Tasmanian Governments Sustainable Industry Growth Plan for the Salmon Industry as a priority area for the possible expansion of salmonid marine farming. The Government's intention is that the proposed developments would be managed under an adaptive management framework with the following pre-conditions:*A staged development approach, with an initial limit on feed input that would provide for 30,000 tonnes of production*A comprehensive environmental monitoring program*The development of a biogeochemical model, to help to understand i) the information provided by the environmental monitoring and ii) the effects of any changes to farming operations in the region.The work proposed in this study will support the design and implementation of an effective, efficient and reliable monitoring program, providing expert advice on sampling locations, timelines and strategies and testing this data over 3-4 years to refine and improve the program. This monitoring program will deliver observational data to directly assess environmental performance and to assist the skill assessment of the integrated 3D model being developed by CSIRO. A second key element of the proposal is to develop a lease scale module for predicting near scale effects; this would be nested and relocatable in the CSIRO modelling system. A comprehensive map of seafloor habitats and bathymetry will underpin the monitoring program and modelling efforts.

Natural values of the World Heritage waters of Macquarie Harbour (2015)$52,000

Description: 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.

Scientific Support for Managing Australia's Marine Biodiversity - A National Marine Biodiversity Hub (2011 - 2015)$12,994,000

Description: 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.

Description: Change in behaviour of the East Australian Current (EAC) underpins a rate of ocean warming in SE Australia 3.8 times the global average and declining nutrient levels. The proposed work will determine present patterns of physical parameters on the continental shelf in SE Australia, and predict changes in both the trend and variability of the temperature and nutrient signal on the shelf. These data will be combined with observations of benthic communities 0-200 m depth to, for the first time, develop bioclimate models to predict changes in these key habitats so important for major fisheries and as areas of high biodiversity. Unique data from experiments will enable testing the efficacy of current approaches to bioclimate prediction.
