NESP TWQ Round 5 - Project 5.1 – Matching the Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Integrated Pest Management to the scale of the new Control Program

Region map: 

The CoTS IPM program designed an ecologically informed control program that integrates knowledge of the spatial and temporal dynamics of CoTS outbreaks and the operations of onwater control to provide:

  1. the most efficient strategies for investing management effort at all scales of management;
  2. an operational framework for the control program, and, iii) to identify and fill key research gaps.

This project supported the expansion of the IPM’s tools to match the expansion of the control program, finalized scenario testing to assess appropriate control objectives, and, assessed the social benefits of the CoTS training program.

COTS Control Centre

This dataset contains the code for the Android application “COTS Control Centre Decision Support Tool” (CCC-DST). The CCC-DST is one part of the “COTS Control Centre Decision Support System” (CCC-DSS) which is a hardware and software solution, comprising 32 Samsung Galaxy Tab Active2 tablets. The tablets run a kiosk operating system and provide three data collection apps, developed for GBRMPA by ThinkSpatial, and three decision support components developed by CSIRO as part of the NESP COTS IPM Research Program.
