Ecosystem health
Marine ecosystems are delicately balanced and subject to a
variety of
stresses, both
natural and human-induced. AIMS research in this field
investigates what the sources of environmental stress are and how
ecosystems respond to it, what the trends of ecosystem health in
particular coral reefs are through time and what scope there is
for recovery and resilience in a variety of marine ecosystems.
The AIMS
Measuring Water Quality and Ecosystem Health and
Responding to Climate Change teams carry out
research to inform and enable natural resource managers to devise
strategies to conserve biodiversity and sustainably use marine,
coastal and catchment resources.
