Abstract
At the Australian Marine Sciences Association conference held in Canberra in July 2014, a group of scientists and managers engaged in a roundtable discussion to identify areas where linkages could be improved between researchers working on marine population connectivity and managers of marine areas. Population connectivity is the degree of demographic connectedness between populations, indicating the degree to which populations are linked through dispersal and recruitment of organisms, or through gene flow. Connectivity allows organisms and genes to move among different habitats, helping to ensure survival of species by providing increased habitat and reproduction options, and helping to maintain genetic variability. Although connectivity science was used as the focal point of the discussion, the issues discussed are applicable to other topics at the interface of science and management. Here we summarise the key themes and outcomes/recommendations from the discussion.
