Assessing impacts of extreme events on inshore coastal habitats in the northern Great Barrier Reef

Overview

Project researcher Dr Katie Chartrand discusses findings of Project 5.5 on the evaluation of the impact of Tropical Cyclone Jasper and its flooding on inshore coastal habitats in the northern Great Barrier Reef. By understanding changes in these coastal habitats and documenting recovery, this project has explored potential long-term impacts on key species and identified opportunities for restoration and rehabilitation, as well as strategies to accelerate recovery and prevent further habitat loss.
