6 months, 60 experts and 37 threats to the Spencer Gulf- a lesson in rapid assessment

The Spencer Gulf covers an area of diverse marine habitats ranging from algal forests to mangroves. But increasingly, threats from climate change, fishing, invasive species and more pose an increasing threat to these fragile ecosystems.
