John Wolfenden is going to discuss aspects of resilience management from a guide titled “Resilience Management: A Guide for Irrigated Regions, Communities and Enterprises”. The guide is from Researchers from the Cooperative Research Centre for Irrigation Futures (CRCIF), who have undertaken a number of projects under the general heading “Change at a Range of Scales”. These projects have sought to detail various drivers of change, and perhaps more importantly, detail some practical steps that irrigation communities can and/or are doing as a positive response. This framework has been written to bring the key findings from those projects, and together with some additional information on adaptive management and strategic planning, provide a more accessible reference for those who are interested in pursuing these ideas and concepts. The research project reports are available through the CRCIF website (www.irrigationfutures.org.au).

A world-first study has revealed that “robust” reef-building corals are the only known organisms in the animal kingdom to make one of the “essential” amino acids, which may make them less susc
Abstract: Many conservation-minded fisheries management policies seek to reduce the number of landed indivduals. While these regulations have the potential to be extremely effective, they can als
Abstract: Coral reefs are crucial to the wellbeing of millions of people in developing countries, who depend directly on reef ecosystem services for their livehoods. Yet, while research ecosyste

Abstract: Coral reefs worldwide are under pressure, with coral cover decreasing and cover of macroalgae increasing on many reefs. Once macroalgae has established, it can be extremely difficult to r
