The
Western Port Research Coordination Project was initiated
because the stakeholders of Western Port are concerned about
the threat of human activities (direct or indirect) upon
the ecology and function of the bay.
A coordinated and cooperative approach is needed to address the impacts
to, and management of, Western Port via identification of
priority research needs.
A coordinated research program that addresses management needs
must be underpinned by an understanding of the key ecological
systems and drivers within the bay, and an assessment of
current research activity relating to the bay.
