• POAMA - learn more about the underlying seasonal forecast model on the POAMA site: http://poama.bom.gov.au/about_poama2.shtml
• Seasonal forecasts have been developed for other fisheries and aquaculture regions - check them out here:
• Prawn forecasts for Queensland (POAMA)
• Forecasting Southern Bluefin Tuna Habitat in the Great Australian Bight
• Coral reef bleaching
• ENSO seasonal forecasts are available on the BoM website
• Data from pop-up satellite tags attached to sub-adult and adult SBT are used in developing the habitat preferences of SBT in the Tasman sea near on the East Coast of Australia. Check out some of the tracks from SBT as well as other tagged marine animals at Electronic Tag Support Systems (ETSS) mapping portal
