Current Funding

Current and recent Research Funding to JCU is shown by funding source and project.

Torres Strait Regional Authority - Contract Research

Torres Strait Seagrass Observer Program

Indicative Funding: $145,405 over 5 years
Summary: This project remotely assists the Torres Strait Rangers Program to implement their intertidal seagrass monitoring program in the Torres Strait. The current study is the next phase of the Torres Strait intertidal seagrass monitoring (2007-present) that had its beginnings in education, training and capacity building. The rangers now own the monitoring process and the role of this project is now about ensuring that the data collected is of quality, has integrity and is reported back to the rangers for them to convey to their communities.
Investigators: Jane Mellors (TropWATER)
Keywords: Torres Strait; Intertidal Seagrass Monitoring; Indigenous Engagement

Anindilyakwa Land Council - Contract Research

Anindilyakwa Land and Sea Ranger Intertidal Mawurrira Monitoring Program

Indicative Funding: $22,650
Summary: This project is to train the Anindilyakwa Land and Sea Rangers in the methodologies and protocols of intertidal seagrass monitoring, so that the co-ordination and supervision of intertidal monitoring activities becomes their responsibilty. The role of the scientist in this project is to provide the training and facilitate the monitoring.

Torres Strait Regional Authority - Contract Research

Torres Strait Seagrass Observers Program

Indicative Funding: $120,000 over 3 years
Summary: This project remotely assists the Torres Strait Rangers Program to implement their intertidal seagrass monitoring program, in the Torres Strait. The current study is the next phase of the Torres Strait intertidal seagrass monitoring (2007-present), that had its beginnings in education, training and capacity building of indigenous rangers in natural resource monitoring using intertidal seagrass habitat as an example. The project has now devolved the ownership of the monitoring process to the rangers and TSRA Sea Team. The role of the scientist has now shifted to that of quality assurance and quality control of the data being collated by the rangers.
