NESP MaC Project 1.29 – Scoping Study: New Approaches to Marine Monitoring 2021-2022 (RRRC)
This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub small-scale study - "Scoping Study: New Approaches to Marine Monitoring".
Australia’s has the third largest marine estate of any country in the world. Much of our marine and coastal resources are in offshore or sparsely populated areas meaning that our ability to monitor and assess our environmental resources and values is particularly challenging. To maximise our understanding of our marine and coastal environment, we need to take advantage of emerging technologies and approaches. This includes citizen science, community monitoring and Indigenous Rangers. In particular, it is expected that these groups will utilise the same technologies as mainstream science, thus these emerging technologies can bridge the gaps between science and community science to operate in unity. This project provides a series of workshops and engagement processes to best explore how to most effectively deploy technologies and community science programs to achieve maximum benefit and synergy in environmental monitoring.

- Purpose
- The main outcome will be the development of co-designed, end-user engaged projects that deliver on applications to priority management issues and transform the way that monitoring is conducted in the marine and coastal environment. The specific outcomes cannot be predicted but we are aiming for at least one community science and one technology-driven project at a minimum. Additional outcomes will be a greater understanding amongst end-users of the potential capability and deployment options and requirements of new technologies and approaches. This greater understanding will improve adoption rates and successful implementation for new approaches
