The Infinity Blue, consisting of The New Ireland Mangrove and Seagrass Biodiversity Conservation; and Livelihoods and Blue Carbon Project, aims to create a proposal that is ready for investment in blue carbon offsets for the international market. The project is funded by the Australian Government in partnership with the International…
Our project is a global synthesis of animal responses to coastal restoration, aimed to assess biodiversity outcomes in restored coastal ecosystems such as saltmarshes, mangroves, and coral reefs. By analysing 5,133 response ratios from 160 studies, we evaluated the impact of restoration on animal communities, populations, and individual fitness. Specifically,…
In addition to their core business, Blue Economy industries have a range of responsibilities to the environment and the community. Meeting these responsibilities requires having a clear understanding of the values applicable to the Blue Economy and the ethical risks and opportunities these values create.

Aims. To compare species distribution models, SDMs, for humpback whales in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park based on different opportunistic sightings datasets and evaluate the impact different sources of opportunistic data have on our understanding of humpback whale habitat relationships.
Switch Your Fish was a short campaign to challenge recreational fishers on the Sunshine Coast to enjoy a different range of fish to eat. The different species were Mahi Mahi, Cobia, and Amberjack; and the campaign was designed to take the pressure off other species including Snapper and Pearl Perch.
The project was commissioned by WWF to help prioritise funds and activities for improving mangrove management and restoration globally.
This project was established as there was no data showing that wetlands were crucial for improving the water quality in the Great Barrier Reef.
This project aims to assess the ecosystem services and disservices from a constructed coastal wetland used to offset nitrogen inputs into Moreton Bay.
The goal is to monitor the restoration of a wetland through tidal inundation of an unused paddock as a pilot project to assess the feasibility of blue carbon projects.
