WAMSI Node 4.3.2 - Ecosystem Modelling - Overall

Two modelling approaches are being used in this study, i.e. a quantitative modelling and a qualitative modelling approach.

They are being developed for the estuarine ecosystems of the Swan River, Peel-Harvey and Leschenault estuaries will be used to explore how environmental changes arising from both anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic factors are likely to affect those ecosystems. The models will also be used to assess the potential to ameliorate adverse impacts through management actions
