Research
CHONe will address a need for scientific guidelines for conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity resources by focusing on three broad Research Themes:
Objective: to understand functional and species biodiversity in relation to habitat diversity.
Objective: to determine how ecosystem function and health are linked to
biodiversity and agents of disturbance, including natural and
anthropogenic sources.
Objective: to examine how dispersal of early life stages (eggs, larvae, juveniles) influences patterns of biodiversity, resilience, and how different geographic areas may represent important sources and sinks for new recruits.
