Projects

Work in progress along the coast

Projects are grouped into three programmes. Entries are provisional, scope, sites and outputs are published as each one is confirmed.

Programme 01

Marine Research

Research projects built around repeat observation, the same sites, the same methods, season after season, so that change can be separated from natural variation.

Focus
Reef ecology, biodiversity, water quality
Sites
Selected sites, east and south coasts
  • MR-01

    Reef Condition Observation

    Recurring observation of reef structure and condition at selected monitoring sites.

    In preparation
  • MR-02

    Coastal Water Quality Baseline

    Establishing a reference record of water quality against which later change can be measured.

    In preparation
  • MR-03

    Species Occurrence Records

    Building a documented record of species observed during routine survey work.

    Planned

Programme 02

Conservation

Projects that document what is putting coastal systems under strain, and what changes measurably when that pressure is reduced.

Focus
Marine debris, bioinvasion, habitat restoration
Sites
Port areas, lagoons and reef margins
  • CN-01

    Marine Debris Survey

    Repeat surveys of beach transects to record the composition and volume of marine debris.

    In preparation
  • CN-02

    Port Biofouling Assessment

    Assessment of non-indigenous species associated with vessel traffic and port structures.

    In preparation
  • CN-03

    Blue Carbon Habitat Mapping

    Mapping mangrove and seagrass extent to support carbon assessment and protection planning.

    Planned

Programme 03

Education & Outreach

Projects concerned with the last step of the research chain, making findings legible to the people whose decisions and daily lives depend on the coast.

Focus
Ocean literacy, teacher support, community engagement
Sites
Schools and coastal communities island-wide
  • EO-01

    Ocean Literacy Curriculum Support

    Developing classroom material that fits ocean topics into subjects teachers already teach.

    In preparation
  • EO-02

    Community Coastal Sessions

    Open sessions for coastal communities on marine pressures and shared stewardship.

    In preparation
  • EO-03

    Field Guide Development

    A plain-language field guide to commonly encountered coastal species and habitats.

    Planned

Note

9 project entries are listed across the three programmes. No findings, datasets or outcomes are published yet; results are added once reviewed and released.
