Mariana Menezes Prata Bezerra Fuentes

My main research interests focus on conservation planning, natural resource management, and on climate change impacts on marine mega-fauna. I have used marine turtles as a lens to explore these themes; where I integrate innovative modeling with field-based ecology and geographic spatial analysis to determine how marine turtles will be impacted by climate change and develop science based solutions for their conservation and management. I was awarded a PhD Cum Laude (university medal) in May 2010 from James Cook University, Australia. During my PhD I assessed the vulnerability of the northern Great Barrier Reef (nGBR) green turtle population to climate change. At James Cook University, in 2004, I also completed a BSc with 1st class Honours in Marine Biology and Environmental Sciences. I am currently undertaking an ARC Super Science Fellowship, where I am developing systematic priorities for the management of marine mega-fauna as climate change progresses.

    Informing dugong hunting management in Torres Strait by studying dugong movements and habitat usage, Descrição: Torres Strait supports the world s largest dugong population. Local information and modelling suggest that this population is over-harvested. Thus, the purpose of this project is to inform the adaptive cycle of dugong management in Torres Strait by working with Torres Strait Islanders including Traditional Owners and the Torres Strait Region Authority to use satellite tracking to quantify the movements and habitat use of dugongs in Torres Strait. . , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Mariana Menezes Prata Bezerra Fuentes - Coordenador / Mark Hamann - Integrante / Helene Marsh - Integrante., Número de produções C, T & A: 2

    Systematic management of marine mega-fauna in a changing climate, Descrição: The northern Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area and Torres Strait region have globally significant populations of sea turtles and dugongs that have spiritual and social importance to Australia's indigenous peoples and value to the tourist industry. The resilience to climate change of these populations is already severely compromised by dramatic reductions in population sizes due to impacts such as bycatch, direct take, boat strike, and pollution. Depletion increases the vulnerability of populations to additional threats and lowers their ability to adapt to and recover from climate change. Therefore, managers face the challenge of addressing the direct effects of climate change, as well as ongoing threats that sea turtles and dugongs face throughout their geographic range. Most management agencies have developed simplistic threat-ranking procedures to identify priorities, but most of these assume a static environment, ignore synergies and interactions between different drivers, and lack a proper assessment of the costs of management actions. Consequently, there is an urgent need for a systematic decision-theory framework that accounts for the benefits and costs of actions while incorporating the complex effects of climate change. Therefore, the aim of this project is to develop systematic priorities for the management of sea turtles and dugongs to increase their resilience to climate change. , Situação: Em andamento; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Mariana Menezes Prata Bezerra Fuentes - Coordenador / Helene Marsh - Integrante / Robert Pressey - Integrante.

    Foraging ecology of hawksbill turtles at Yorke Island, Descrição: In early 2009 a commercial sponge farm was established at Yorke Island, Torres Strait. Since sea turtles are known to forage on sponge initial concern was expressed over the possible interactions between foraging hawksbills on the reef area around Yorke Island and the sponge farm. Therefore, the aim of this project was to: 1) investigate the foraging ecology of hawksbill turtles at these reefs; and 2) determine if there was any interaction between hawksbill turtles and the sponge farm.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Mariana Menezes Prata Bezerra Fuentes - Coordenador / Mark Hamann - Integrante., Número de produções C, T & A: 1

    Risk assessment of climate change impacts on marine turtles, Descrição: My PhD research investigates the impacts that climate change will have on sea turtles. More specifically, I assess the risk of climate change to the reproductive aspect of marine turtles, forecast potential responses by turtles to climate change and provide advice for management options aimed at reducing the susceptibility and increasing the resilience of turtles to impacts of climate change. This project is carried out with the largest green turtle population in the world, which nests in the northern Great Barrier Reef (nGBR) and in Torres Strait. In order to make my research more applicable for different stakeholders and policy makers I work closely with different groups; including the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA), Torres Strait Land and Sea Management Unit, Queensland Environmental Protection Agency (QEPA), including the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS), Torres Strait Regional Authority (TSRA) and Queensland Marine Parks as well as different aboriginal communities.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Número de produções C, T & A: 11

    The feeding ecology of juvenile green turtles, Chelonia mydas, at Green Island, North QLD, Australia, Descrição: My Honors project investigated the feeding ecology of green turtles at the Green Island Marine Park. During this study I determined the diet and investigated the diet selection,population structure and spatial distribution of juvenile green turtles at Green Island, Australia. Visitors to Green Island can choose from a range of activities such as reef walking, snorkeling and diving. My study illustrated that most of this activities overlap with areas frequently utilized by foraging turtles and therefore with the information collected I suggested areas that should be protected from further water-based activities.. , Situação: Concluído; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Número de produções C, T & A: 1
