The Environment Management module was developed by the Cooperative Research Centre for Coastal Zone, Estuary & Waterway Research, and was originally housed at their site under the name OzCoast .
The original project team consisted of:
Kerry Rosenthal, Donna Barchiesi, Jan Tilden, Regina Souter, Alicia Bell, Lana Heydon, John Bennett (former Coastal CRC ); Neville Montgomerie, Rohan Nishantha (Geoscience Australia); Rohan Tankey, Emma Walker, Ben Davis (formerly Geoscience Australia); Jimaima Le Grand, Simon Hill, Rowan Eisner (Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Water); Ian Jefferys, Jessica Wallwork, David Gardiner (formerly Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Water); David Pullar (University of Queensland); Xuan Zhu (Associate of the Coastal CRC ).
The following “buddies” also provided input and feedback throughout the project:
Jeanie Heaslop (formerly Fitzroy Basin Association); Sean Galvin ( Natural Resource Management, South-east Queensland); Nick Marsh (Queensland Environmental Protection Agency); Tanya Ashworth and Kirstin Kenyon (formerly Australian Government NRM Team).
A number of other officers from partner agencies also provided valuable input:
Craig Smith, Brendan Brooke and John Ryan (Geoscience Australia) for input and guidance on OzEstuaries ; Paul Lawrence (Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Water) for input and direction on decision support systems; David Scheltinga (former Coastal CRC ) for advice on estuarine, coastal and marine indicators for regional NRM monitoring.
The content of the Environmental Management module (i.e. the former OzCoast) was merged with OzEstuaries by: Mark Babic, Damian Clark, Ian Greenwood, Xiaojing Li, Neville Montgomerie, Rohan Nishantha, Susan Ring, Lynda Radke and Trevor Tracey-Patte (Geoscience Australia ), with helpful feedback provided by Kerry Rosenthal (Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Water)and John Bennett (Queensland Environmental Protection Agency). Helpful reviews of the revised site were provided by Christopher Lukes, Emma Murray, David Scheltinga, Kerry Rosenthal, Gina Newton and Will Green. David Scheltinga has kindly updated all information on coastal stressors.
