Mapping and Characterisation of Key Biotic and Physical Attributes of the Torres Strait Ecosystem (Epibenthic Sled)

The benthic invertebrate, plant and fish biodiversity of the 50,000 km² area of the Torres Strait Protected Zone and adjacent shelf seabed was sampled by a 200 m tow of a 1.5 m epibenthic sled at 166 sites, representing a wide range of known physical environments, during one 1-month-long voyage on the James Cook University vessel James Kirby. More than 1,550 species/species-equivalent OTUs (operational taxonomic units) were identified. The dataset comprises 8,569 site-by-species records. A pipe-dredge was attached to the sled to collect sediment samples: a 500 ml subsample was processed for particle size and carbonate by Geoscience Australia; another 500 ml subsample was sieved on 1 mm mesh and preserved in 10% Formalin - Rose Bengal solution.

CCS - MV Bluefin 2017 V01 Multibeam Echosounder

Project Overview:  A range of solutions will be required to reach globally agreed emissions reductions targets for carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is part of the suite of technologies that will contribute to lowering atmospheric emissions of CO2 from Australia's energy system. There are a wide variety of technologies at various stages of technical and commercial readiness, with more development underway for cost effective CO2 capture and storage. Our research will provide new knowledge to inform cost-efficient measurement, monitoring and verification (MMV) of the environment of CCS projects in coastal waters.

Pride of Eden Voyage PoE 1/89 Biological Data Overview

This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Pride of Eden cruise PoE 1/89 (originally scheduled as Soela SO 4/89; also referred to in some documentation as PoE 4/89). This cruise took place on the Australian North West Shelf during 12 September - 10 October 1989, under the leadership of Wade Whitelaw. 105 trawl stations were completed; length frequency data for 14 species of fish was collected including Saurida, Epinephelus, Lutjanus, Nemipterus, Diagramma an Lethrinus spp.; 3 hydrographic transects were carried out using a submersible data logger (SDL) to profile temperature and salinity; and numerous fish specimens were retained for further taxonomic study. Otoliths were collected from 4 of the major species (Lutjanus sebae, Lutjanus choerorynchus, Saurida undosquamis and Nemipterus furcosus). 35mm underwater photography was used successfully on 79 of the trawl stations and an underwater video camera was deployed on 17 trawls to ascertain the effects of the trawl on the benthos. Video and observations were also made of commercial trawling practices in the area as used on F.V. "Pilbura".(derived from the cruise report) - Biological Field Data Sheets recorded during this voyage have been scanned to PDF, and are available (to CSIRO Staff only) on-line.

WAMSI 2 - Dredging Node - Theme 2 Project 3.4 Development of a Numerical Dredging Model

In Western Australia (WA), the Environmental Impact Assessment process requires dredging proponents to make scientifically sound predictions of the likely extent, severity, and persistence of environmental impacts of the proposed activity under a spatially defined zoning pattern. This is achieved by using coupled hydrodynamic, wave and sediment transport models in conjunction with water quality (ecological) thresholds for sensitive receptors such as corals, filter feeders, or seagrasses/macroalgae. These predictions guide the scale and scope of associated monitoring programs, providing assistance to proponents as to where to establish environmental monitoring and reference sites. Increasingly, modelling is also being used by dredging programs to forecast a few days in advance, so as to understand the potential consequence of various dredging scenarios and optimize the dredging programs to minimize environmental damage. 
The overall objective of Project 2/3.4 was to improve the predictive capabilities of sediment dispersion modelling that incorporate dynamic plume and passive plume processes through assessing model sensitivity to key forcing and parameter values, such as met-ocean condition, particle settling velocity distribution, critical shear stress, sediment erosion and deposition, provide frequency and duration of biological stressor fields including suspended sediment concentration, sediment accretion and erosion, and available light; and provide guidance on developing best practice algorithms and parametrizations for dredge plume modelling. 
Based on the outcome Project 2/3.1, an appropriate modelling suite that includes hydrodynamics, waves, and sediment transport was chosen (Delft3D) to model the far-field passive plume. The model was set up and validated using the bathymetry and baseline data collected as part of the Chevron Australia Wheatstone Project, located near Onslow, Western Australia.
The model outputs were assessed against monitoring data from Chevron Australia's Wheatstone Dredging program, including, remote sensing and in-situ data collected in Project 2/3.2. A 20 month hindcast of passive plume dispersal from the dredging project to the furthest extent of the passive plume were compared with the field data and MODIS images (where available). Spatial and temporal variability of plume dispersal under different forcing scenarios and sediment release rates were investigated and reported.
This metadata record provides a description of the model input data (and where appropriate its location) and a short description of the software and model set-up. The simulation data files are located in the CSIRO DAP.

FAO Fishing Areas

FAO Major Fishing Areas for Statistical Purposes are arbitrary areas, the boundaries of which were determined in consultation with international fishery agencies on various considerations, including (i) the boundary of natural regions and the natural divisions of oceans and seas; (ii) the boundaries of adjacent statistical fisheries bodies already established in inter-governmental conventions and treaties; (iii) existing national practices; (iv) national boundaries; (v) the longitude and latitude grid system; (vi) the distribution of the aquatic fauna; and (vii) the distribution of the resources and the environmental conditions within an area.
For various historical reasons the Areas in the Pacific were not so developed, with the exception of Area 87 corresponding to the CPPS area of competence. Initiatives for closer cooperation between agencies in the interest of better data, not only in the field of tunas, have suggested that some changes are necessary to the present FAO fishing areas/boundaries in the Pacific.
The boundaries of fishing areas could be modified and adjusted according to new requirements, but it is inadvisable to introduce too frequent amendments to the already established areas. Revisions to boundaries should only be introduced after consultation with all the national fishery authorities and fishery agencies concerned with the areas under revision. Unless there are other over-riding reasons, boundaries lines should be drawn along 5° lines of longitude and latitude.
