Grant Activity:
Assessing risk of toxic methylmercury in the Australian marine environment
Purpose:
This project aims to address the impact of mercury contamination on marine ecosystems by advancing our understanding of how mercury behaves in the Australian offshore environment. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of marine ecology using emerging genomic sequencing methods and an interdisciplinary approach to investigate mercury biogeochemistry. Expected outcomes include development of a predictive tool for use by mercury-emitting industries and Australian regulators to assess risk of mercury to marine ecosystems. This should provide significant benefits, such as informing Australian regulatory policy on mercury emissions, limiting the toxic effects of mercury on humans and wildlife, and its burden on food safety.
