Dynamic assessment of threats to marine megafauna in face of global change

This project aims to develop a global approach to synthesise global tracking datasets and deliver near real-time diagnostics on risks for marine megafauna at a global scale pushing forward a new frontier in dynamic marinespatial management to improve conservation. This project expects to increase our understanding of how marinemegafauna movements vary with environmental changes and how much they overlap with threatening globalhuman activities. Expected outcomes will demonstrate how big data in marine telemetry can be synthesised andtranslated into ecologically significant behaviours. This should provide significant benefits to address globalscientific and societal problems highlighted in the Australian science and research priorities.
