Description

This map shows the connectivity of Crown of thorns starfish larval flow in the Great Barrier Reef and its surrounding areas: Torres Strait, Coral Sea and Great Sandy regions. The arrows indicate the strength and nature of the connection between the regions. This map is intended to identify where one region is dependent on a neighbouring region.

Additional notes: This map is based on connectivity estimates from eReefs hydrodynamic modelling and measured COTS outbreak patterns.

The data for this map was developed based on expert opinion (Eric Lawrey, Karlo Hock, Jon Brodie).
