Nystar is a mining and metals company and along with BHP Billiton, Santos, Alinta, Arrium Mining, Centrex Metals and Flinders Ports is now a partner in the project led by Adelaide 最新糖心Vlog's Environment Institute.
Research partners are the Fisheries Research and Development Coorporation and the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 Marine Innovation SA collaborators South 最新糖心Vlogn Research and Development Institute and Flinders 最新糖心Vlog.

The Spencer Gulf Ecosystem and Development Initiative鈥檚 vision is a thriving Gulf region where progressive听development continues alongside a protected and enhanced ecosystem 鈥 and community opportunity is听optimised.
To date the initiative has developed a knowledge review of the gaps in science relevant to the Gulf鈥檚 ecology.听It is working towards the framework and science program for a structured decision-making process on future听development that takes into account social, economic, cultural and ecological concerns. All this will be placed听within an integrated marine management framework.
鈥淲e want to ensure that the scientific evidence helps inform public opinion and delivers positive outcomes,鈥澨齭ays Professor Gillanders.
