New Zealand study targets heat wave prediction in estuaries to save shellfish, birds.
A University of Auckland research project, funded with $1 million, aims to understand and predict sudden heat waves in New Zealand's estuaries, which can cause massive die-offs of shellfish and toxic algal blooms.
Led by Professor Karin Bryan, the study will examine factors like tidal currents and atmospheric conditions affecting estuary temperatures.
With around 350 estuaries in New Zealand serving as vital habitats for marine life and shorebirds, the findings could help assess the impact of rising temperatures on food chains and support species survival.
