Our Climate change projects
Climate change threats to seagrass, mangrove and saltmarsh
Identifying estuaries where mangrove and saltmarsh are most vulnerable to sea level rise and developing a model to better manage these areas into the future.
Climate change research
Researching the effects of climate change to fill knowledge gaps and guide future management actions.
Climate change monitoring
Scientists are using underwater cameras and diving surveys to check the health of more than 1,000km of NSW coastline.
Climate change citizen science
Using citizen science data to map changes in fish and other marine species distribution due to climate change.
Supporting marine and coastal adaptation
Helping communities and managers protect NSW’s marine parks and coasts by preparing for climate change.
Investigating a blue carbon demonstration site on primary production land
This project aims to transform a 13-hectare peninsular adjacent to the Richmond River near Ballina, currently used for cattle grazing, into a blue carbon demonstration site.
Delivering Blue Carbon Strategy
The NSW Blue Carbon Strategy is an initiative to support evidence-based projects and research to protect and conserve important blue carbon ecosystems.
Blue carbon demonstration on national parks land
