Developing models to predict dispersal and establishment, enabling the prioritisation of resources for surveillance and intervention to at-high-risk locations.
Models (hydrodynamic particle transport, intersystem dispersal, and habitat suitability) will be integrated and calibrated, and then used to predict corbicula dispersion for different scenarios, with illustrative maps as outputs.
A programme anchored by mātauranga and partnerships
Building relationships between diverse knowledge systems, particularly Mātauranga Māori with scientific research, underpins our work. Our approach is holistic, ensuring that all aspects of the programme are informed by Mātauranga concepts and partnerships, in doing so supporting indigenous perspectives and values in environmental management.
