Biodiversity of East Antarctica - Underwater and Terrestrial Project Parent record

This project aims to expand and enhance knowledge of the biodiversity of AAT and to make this information highly visible and accessible. BEAUT will survey areas in AAT that have not been visited or sampled, extend knowledge of our station areas, and consolidate historical biodiversity information. Field campaigns will utilise Australia's icebreaker RSV Nuyina, as well as deploying teams to coastal areas in east Antarctica and subantarctic Islands. Knowledge of biodiversity in space and time is vital for area protection and management, and will include identification guides, a biodiversity atlas and database, and will contribute baseline data to EAMP (East Antarctic Monitoring Program). BEAUT will also facilitate collaboration with the SAEF SRI and other partners.

Collated data inventory for Swift Parrot in relation to the Gippsland Offshore Renewable Energy declaration area (NESP MaC 3.21)

This project undertook a rapid exploration of information on a priority subset of species identified by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) and the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environment Authority (NOPSEMA) that are listed as critically endangered or endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It specifically focused on these species in relation to the Gippsland declaration area, and the adjacent areas to the declaration area in Bass Strait.

This rapid exploration of information was conducted as follows:
1)  identify datasets and information sources relevant to priority species identified by DCCEEW and NOPSEMA for the Gippsland declaration area; 
2)  identify the source of these datasets and information and their level of accessibility;
3)  evaluate the utility of datasets and information identified in 2) for assessments/regulatory processes required to be undertaken by DCCEEW and NOPSEMA; and 
4)  identify what activities would need to be undertaken to improve the accessibility and utility of datasets and information sources identified in 3) that are not currently accessible in useable formats. 

Fifteen priorities species (12 birds, 3 cetaceans) were identified for which publicly-available occurrence data could be located. This record and the attached download describes the data inventory for Swift Parrots (Lathamus discolor).

To download the data inventory for all fifteen priority species, see https://doi.org/10.25959/GB51-RW44.

Copepod egg production in Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia

Ten stations were sampled in Exmouth Gulf (7 on the eastern side and 3 on the western). At each station water temperature and salinity were measured at 1m depth intervals and secchi depth recorded. Values for Chlorophyll a, particulate carbon and nitrogen were determined. Egg production rates by 4 of the dominant copepod species were measured by bottle incubations (Acartia fossae, Parvocalanus crassirostris) and the egg-ratio technique (Oithona attenuata and Oithona simplex). Egg production data was used to calculate adult females grazing rates of the total particulate carbon each day.Plankton abundance and biomass did not differ greatly within the gulf; however, highest values of chlorophyll a, particulate carbon and nitrogen, and copepod egg production rates occurred in the south-east of the gulf. Though egg production rates were low and apparently severely food-limited, resuspension of bottom sediments or export of material from adjacent salt flats may fuel production in shallow inshore areas of the gulf. P. crassirostris appeared to be omnivorous and 0. attenuata primarily herbivorous, but the trophic resources used by 0. simplex and A. fossae could not be identified. From the egg production data, it was calculated that adult females of the four dominant copepod species graze 12% of the total particulate carbon each day.
 This research was undertaken to: 1. Investigate plankton community structure and abundance in Exmouth Gulf2. Estimate egg production rates by the dominant copepod species in relation to their potential trophic resources and to the hydrography of the area.

NESP MB Project A3 - A national assessment of the status of White Sharks

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Project - "A national assessment of the status of White Sharks". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.

White sharks are listed as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act and the subject of a national recovery plan, yet there is still no effective way to assess their population status and thus no way of determining the efficacy of conservation actions. Recent debate due to various human-shark interactions has highlighted the need for further information. This Project provides a national assessment of white shark population size and status in order to establish the efficacy of existing recovery actions and provide a scientifically sound and rational basis from which to develop policies that balance conservation objectives and public safety. 

Planed Outputs
• Tools to refine and integrate CK-MR, electronic tagging distribution and species demographic data for population assessments of a key threatened species at a national scale (combining knowledge developed under this project combined with similar techniques being applied under NESP to euryhaline sharks and planned for grey nurse sharks). 
• National estimates of (census) population size and trend for white sharks in Australian waters (western and eastern populations respectively) are established that fulfil the highest priority actions of the National Recovery Plan.
• New genetic and statistical tools trialled for the estimation of historical population trend from contemporary tissue samples for key species for which other methods of population assessment are unreliable or unavailable.
• Provide information that identifies movement corridors, hotspots and contributes to management strategies for top-order marine predators 
• Estimate juvenile white shark survival and abundance for input into integrated national population assessment models in order to refine population estimates.
• National-level information on habitat use, behaviour and spatial dynamics of white sharks at various scales used to provide the scientific underpinning for government decisions and policies as well as provide for more informed public debate.
• Identify national strategies to monitor white shark populations.
• The project will provide peer-reviewed additions to the scientific literature that will add to the science-support for the development and implementation of policies to support the ecologically sustainable management of Australia’s marine environment.

NESP MaC Project 5.7 - Updating knowledge of Australian white sharks (CSIRO, NSW DPI, SARDI, DPIRD, Flinders Uni)

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub project "Updating knowledge of Australian white sharks". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.

The white shark is listed as Vulnerable and Migratory under Australia’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act 1999. Previous NESP-funded research provided updated estimates of breeding population size and trend, but uncertainty remained around juvenile nursery and pupping areas, movement patterns, and connectivity between eastern and south-western Australian populations. More recent evidence has also raised the possibility of a single Australian population.

This project aimed to reduce uncertainty in the status, trends and population structure of white sharks in Australian waters, with a focus on identifying biologically important habitats and improving population assessment through expanded close-kin mark-recapture (CKMR) analyses.

The project combined three major components:
(1) pilot tagging studies of large adult females and juvenile sharks to improve understanding of movements, pupping areas and habitat use;
(2) genetic analyses to assess stock structure and connectivity using samples collected across Australia, and where possible from South Africa and New Zealand; and
(3) updated population assessment using expanded tissue sample collections and close-kin mark-recapture methods.

Population estimates incorporated approximately 1,000 tissue samples from New South Wales together with additional samples from South Australia and Western Australia. Juvenile abundance information from the New South Wales shark management program was also integrated into the assessment framework. CKMR approaches used genetic identification of parent-offspring and half-sibling relationships to estimate adult abundance, survival and population trends.

Project outputs included updated estimates of population size and trend, improved understanding of population connectivity and movement patterns, and refined information on potential nursery and critical habitat areas. These findings support white shark recovery planning, future monitoring design, and conservation assessment in Commonwealth and state waters.

Outputs
• New genetic samples and sequencing data for white sharks [dataset]
• Tracking data from PAT tags [dataset]
• Final technical report (including recommendations for systematic future research to assist in identifying additional critical habitat for the south-western white shark population) [written]
