Marine Biodiversity Hub: Geoscience Australia

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

The Marine Biodiversity Hub project is a collaborative research program funded by the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts through the Commonwealth Environment Research Facilities (CERF) program. For the Geoscience Australia project team, the project involves working with project partners and stakeholders to: * collate existing useful marine physical and biological datasets for selected areas of Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone and strategically collect new data;

  • analyse this data to develop reliable physical surrogates of benthic habitats and biological communities which can be used to predict patterns of biodiversity in the Australian marine jurisdiction; and

  • effectively communicate the results of this research, including access to products and datasets.
