Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Seagrass in Australia: Strategic Review and Development of an R&D Plan was commissioned by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) and follows the Corporation's Fisheries Habitat Review. It reflects a shift from viewing fished species or even fisheries habitats as separate, unconnected entities to viewing them as components of larger ecosystems, and it seeks to develop a comprehensive, ecosystem-based management plan.
Five principal chapters assess: - Gaps in existing knowledge of seagrass ecosystems
- Knowledge of links between seagrass and fisheries
- The state of the art in rehabilitation and restoration of damaged seagrass beds
- Monitoring and assessment of seagrass, and
- Seagrass and fisheries management
A final chapter develops a Research and Development Plan to guide FRDC's future investment in the context of FRDC's Ecosystem Protection Program and its interaction with other agencies which have responsibilities in marine habitat management. The review was prepared by a team of 17 scientists from CSIRO, universities, State government agencies and industry. The work was guided by a steering committee consisting of the principal investigators, the working group leaders and representatives from FRDC, Environment Australia and the fisheries industry (ASIC and Recfish Australia).
