State linkage projects

The final component of the SRFME Collaborative Program is the State Linkage Projects scheme. SRFME invested $155,000 in this scheme with the objective of enabling WA State Government agencies to engage actively in SRFME through small projects which link new or existing initiatives to other parts of the SRFME Research Portfolio. Nine State Linkages Projects were funded to institutions such as the WA Museum, Department of Environment, Department of Conservation and Land Management and the Department of Fisheries. Leaders from these projects have given presentations at SRFME symposia in June 2003 and June 2004. Some of the projects remained ongoing at the end of 2006. A description of each project and its results to date are given in Volume 1 of the SRFME Final Report.
