IMOS - Understanding of Marine Imagery (UMI) Sub-Facility - Squidle+ Imagery and Tracks by Deployment

Understanding of Marine Imagery will establish a national repository for annotations of marine imagery, including those collected by IMOS Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. This repository will aid in the sharing of quantitative information and encourage consistencies in annotated labelling and providing tools for summarising and reporting on data relating to species and habitat distributions around Australia. Squidle+ is an end-to-end marine image data delivery, management, discovery and annotation platform, and forms the foundation of this IMOS Sub-Facility.

It supports a variety of different data sources ranging from autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), baited remote underwater video (BRUVS), towed underwater imagery and diver photo quadrat data from Underwater Visual Census (UVC, eg: Reef Life Survey (RLS)).

This collection's map layer denotes the markers and tracks for all Deployments contained within Squidle+. It provides key features like the platforms used, and the number media items, total annotations and public annotations for each Deployment. There are several styles associated with this layer, with the default one showing the total number of media items by the sizes of the markers, coloured by Campaign. When zoomed out, it shows centroid locations for each Deployment. When zooming in, the markers switch to tracks showing the location of the media items. The popups also contain a selection of sample images from the Deployment, and the links provide hooks back to the Squidle+ interface to access the origin for each resource.

Geomorphic Features 2006

The data set provides outlines for the maximum extent of geomorphic units for Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone, including the offshore island territories, but not the Australian Antarctic Territory. These data were compiled as part of Geoscience Australia's integrated digital information system to provide improved accessibility and knowledge relating to the environmental management of Australia's oceans resources. The geomorphic units are to be used as surrogates for benthic habitats and can be best applied to the construction of bioregionalisations of the seabed. The data set also includes the name of units in the attribute table, where known, the source(s) of the names, feature codes and province codes as well as the area and perimeter of each unit. The data are accompanied by Geoscience Australia Record 2003/30. Updated October 2006.

Developing a monitoring program for six key estuaries in North-West Tasmania: Inglis River

We implemented a monitoring program developed by Crawford and White (2006), which was designed to assess the current condition of six key estuaries in NW Tasmania: Port Sorell, the Leven, Inglis, Black, Montagu and Arthur River estuaries. This study considered a range of water quality and ecological indictors commonly used to monitor estuaries. These included: salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, pH, nutrients (nitrate + nitrite, dissolved reactive phosphorus and ammonia), silica molybdate reactive and chlorophyll a for the water column; chlorophyll a and macroinvertebrate community structure amongst the sediments. The data represented by this record was collected in Inglis River.

Seagrass meadows extents derived from field to spaceborne earth observation at Midge Point, Great Barrier Reef, September/October 2017

Seagrass meadow extent and meadow-scape was mapped using three alternative approaches at Midge Point, a coastal turbid water habitat, in the central section of the Great Barrier Reef, in September/October 2017. Approach 1 included mapping meadow boundaries and meadow-scape during low spring tides on foot using a handheld Garmin GPS. Approach 2 was where the meadows were surveyed at low tide with observations from a helicopter, with observational spot-checks conducted at a number haphazardly scattered points. Approach 3 used PlanetScope Dove imagery captured on 09 October 2017 coinciding as close as possible to the field-surveys, with 3.7 m x 3.7 m pixels (nadir viewing) acquired from the PlanetScope archive.

This record describes meadow extent data collected using Approach 3 (PlanetScope imagery). View the original metadata record at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.946606 for the full data collection.

NESP MaC Project 5.9 – Making marine environmental data more assessment ready, 2025 (UTAS, IMOS)

The 2020 Independent Review of the EPBC Act (the Samuel Review) states that “Decision-makers, proponents and the community do not have access to the best available data, information and science. This results in sub-optimal decision-making, inefficiency and additional cost for business, and poor transparency for the community. Immediate investment in the information supply chain is needed to support reform. We can't wait until perfect data is available. What is missing at the moment, is the step required to routinely turn well-managed marine research data into marine environmental data and products, that can be consumed by the EIA national environmental data supply chain and made available for use in SOE reports, Environmental Economic Accounts, environmental assessments, and tracking of environmental trends and outcomes.

This project will address that gap by (a) identifying priority datasets currently managed as research data and (b) building the additional information infrastructure required to (c) routinely deliver marine environmental data and products that are assessment ready, in line with the Nature Positive Plan.

Planned Outputs

• Final technical report with analysed data and summary of recommendations for policy makers of key findings [written]

Water use across a catchment and effects on estuarine health and productivity: Little Swanport

The most recent field study of the Little Swanport estuary, Tasmania carried out by Crawford et al. (2006) collected monthly samples at sites throughout the estuary between January 2004 and January 2005. Measurements included water column nutrients, chlorophyll-a, dissolved oxygen, salinity, phytoplankton, zooplankton and oyster growth. This work demonstrated that freshwater flows had a significant effect on salinity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen and nutrient levels in the estuary. However, monthly sampling didn’t provide the temporal resolution necessary to detect potential flow-on effects on the biology (e.g. phytoplankton and zooplankton dynamics, oyster growth). To gain
an improved understanding of the temporal dynamics of the estuary, including the response to freshwater flow, samples were collected weekly (chlorophyll-a), fortnightly (nutrients and zooplankton) and bimonthly (oysters) between March 2006 and June 2008 at a site in the lower estuary where the majority of oysters are farmed

Temperate Australian quantitative spatial and temporal abundance data for rocky reef biota (biodiversity): Port Phillip Heads (VIC)

The data is quantitative abundance of fish and megafaunal invertebrates and algal % cover derived from transect based counts at a wide range of locations across Temperate Australia. The methods are described in detail in Edgar and Barrett (1997). Primarily the data are derived from transects at 5 m depth and/or 10 m depth at each site surveyed. Methods were initially developed for research on temporal changes following protection in Tasmanian MPAs (Maria Is, Tinderbox, Ninepin Point, Governor Island). The data represented by this record was collected in MPA studies and surveys interstate, and was collected from Port Phillip Heads (VIC). In many cases the dataset involved temporal replication (year scale).

Oyster Harbour (WA) Seagrass 1988-2006

Repeat surveys of aquatic flora were conducted in Oyster Harbour in 1988, 1996 and 2006. This data is part of the 2013 report "Synthesis of seagrass mapping studies" conducted by the Water Science Branch of the Department of Water.

Surveys were initially conducted by the WA Department of Water. The objectives of the study were to map the distribution of the different seagrass species found in Princess Royal Harbour and Oyster Harbour and to compare the distributions with that observed in previous studies (1988 and 1996).

This data was acquired by the ACEAS Seagrass Group as part of the 2013 Australia-wide risk assessment of Seagrass.

Surveys were conducted again in March 2019 and January 2021 by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation as "Oyster Harbour Seagrass Survey".

The datasets making up the 1988-2006 Oyster Harbour seagrass survey data are:
WA_Oyster_seagrass_polygons - polygon dataset showing interpolated percentage cover of seagrass (all species combined for 1988 &amp; 1997 surveys, with species information for 2006 survey).

This record provides access to the initial WA DoW surveys. See associated DWER records in Data WA catalogue for access to newer surveys at this site.

This map is part of the AUSTopo - Australian Digital Topographic Map Series. It covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5 km on the ground) and comprises 516 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and at least 110 kilometres from north to south. The topographic map shows approximate coverage of the sheets. The map may contain information from surrounding map sheets to maximise utilisation of available space on the map sheet. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries.

A Review of Australian Salt Lakes and Assessment of their Potential for Strategic Resources

Globally, salt lakes are major sources of lithium, potash, borates and other strategic mineral commodities. Salt lakes, or salars, in the semi-arid to arid regions of Chile, Peru, Argentina and Bolivia contain most of the world's low cost supply of lithium, while salt lakes in Jordan, Israel and China are significant sources of potash. Despite the large number of salt lakes distributed across Australia, public domain knowledge of saline lakes and their associated groundwater systems as potential sources for lithium, potash and other commodities is limited. This report has reviewed the publicly available information on Australian salt lakes and is accompanied by four maps showing which lakes have the highest potential for lithium, boron, potash and calcrete-hosted uranium.
