The Living Seawalls project aims to investigate methods to enhance the ecological value of artificial structures in the marine environment such as seawalls and pilings.
Project Restore is a new project led by the Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS), collaborating with UNSW Sydney, UTS, University of Sydney and Macquarie University.
Operation Crayweed has developed a method to restore these forests by helping crayweed reproduce and re-establish self-sustaining populations on rocky reefs.
This is an extensive program aimed at addressing fundamental questions about the processes determining the establishment, spread and impacts of marine invaders, and developing effective management strategies for them.
This research program aims to determine the impacts of multiple stressors on the resilience and functioning of marine communities through manipulative experiments.
This research program aims to determine the impacts of urbanisation on ecological processes and functions of coastal systems, aiming to provide critical information for policy and management.
This project aims to investigate ecological barriers to the recovery of functionally extinct Sydney Rock Oyster reefs on Australia’s east coast and restoration methods to reinstate their key ecosystem services.
This project uses recent innovations in seagrass restoration to revegetate an endangered seagrass, Posidonia australis, in boat mooring scars where environmentally friendly moorings have recently been installed.
