Determination of impacts of direct harvest of coral species in Northern Australia

This project aims to investigate the recovery rate of key species of Scleractinian corals over temporal scales. The project focuses on coral species in Northern Territory waters, looking at coral recruitment and changes over 2 years. A 4 month growth trial using priority coral species (for NT) was conducted looking at reproduction rates, and recruitment tiles were deployed at Money Shoal and Fish Reef to determine new coral recruit rates.
