Accelerated Evolution and Automated Aquaculture Could Help Coral Weather the Heat
, we have to have good ecological models and decision-making processes which take economic, social, and environmental factors into account.Success will also depend on meaningful partnerships with Traditional Owners. Combining conventional science and traditional knowledge can bring fresh insights. Marine management of Groote Eylandt in Australia’s north now uses maps produced by scientists working with Anindilyakwa people to combine local knowledge, in-water surveys and satellite data.As we move towards large-scale restoration and adaptation, Australia’s First Nations rangers could provide
