Our research focuses on understanding and managing the interactions between aquaculture and coastal ecosystems – from understanding oxygen dynamics in Macquarie Harbour, delivering a sustainable aquaculture model to support seaweed production, and assessing reef health in the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, to exploring growth opportunities for sustainable salmon aquaculture farming in Tasmanian waters.
Ensuring the monitoring of the environment is based on scientifically robust methodology and measures of performance is pivotal to minimising the environmental effects of activities such as aquaculture.
Led by Professor Jeff Ross, our Environmental Interactions program delivers the science needed for the effective environmental monitoring and management that supports a sustainable future for Tasmania's aquaculture industry.
