Emerging Opportunities Fund - guidelines
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 how different species and types of organisms are related to habitat characteristics.
Objective: to determine how species contribute to the way that marine ecosystems function and how this relates to ocean health and disturbances, including natural and human 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.
