Australian Ship Reporting System and Automatic Identification System - Shipping Summaries - 1999-2015

This data is a combination of records held by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.  From 1999 to 2011 Australia shipping was tracked through the Australian Ship Reporting System (AUSREP). From 2012 onward this changed to the Automatic Identification System (AIS). The data presented here are summaries of the tracks of vessels between the points identified by either AUSREP or AIS, summarised to the number of KM per 0.1 deg grid square.
The AIS is a Very High Frequency (VHF) radio broadcasting system which enables AIS equipped vessels and shore-based stations to send and receive identifying information.
This information can:
be displayed on a computer or chart plotter
aid in situational awareness
provide a means to assist in collision avoidance.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) defines AIS as a ship and shore based broadcast system, operating in the VHF maritime band.
The AIS can handle over 2,000 reports per minute and may update information as often as every two seconds.
https://www.amsa.gov.au/navigation/services/ais/
Australian Ship Reporting System (AUSREP) is a ship reporting system designed to contribute to the safety of life at sea and is operated by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) through the Australian Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC Australia) in Canberra. Participation in AUSREP is mandatory for certain ships but most other commercial ships participate voluntarily. Shipmasters send a position report each day at a convenient time nominated by the ship, the maximum time between any two reports is not to exceed 24 hours. The data is used as reference material only, designed to indicate shipping lanes and the number of vessels moving through Australian waters. AUSREP commenced in 1973 in line with Australia's obligations under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) as a ship reporting system and is operated by AMSA through the RCC Australia in Canberra.

WAMSI Node 3.2.2e - Ecosystem Effects of fishing on Ningaloo Reef: Acoustic tracking and adequacy of sanctuary zones

This project now supports in part Australia's first permanent acoustic listening station array on Ningaloo Reef - the Ningaloo Reef Ecosystem Tracking Array (NRETA) which has been established to answer major questions about the trophic structure, function and management of this environment, especially in terms of movement and migration patterns of key organisms within this ecosystem. NRETA has connected Australian acoustic telemetry science with the Census of Marine Life's (CoML) Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking (POST) project in North America and the $35 million worldwide acoustic tracking initiative proposed by R O'Dor - Ocean Shelf Tracking and Physics Array (OSTAPA). NRETA will be a key factor in the development of shelf tracking arrays within Australia as part of AATAMS and will place Australia in a good position to take a leading role as this technology continues to expand worldwide. This project will add important data management and analysis tools to this array, essentially ensuring that the ability to process and understand data and keep pace with our ability to collect it.

Project Details:
The Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) was an initiative designed to enhance the net conservation benefits of the globally-significant coral reef ecosystems of the Pilbara (Western Australia) by providing an assessment of the condition and trajectory of key ecological values. These assessments were designed to inform and complement existing governance and management arrangements and the PMCP is intended to provide ongoing advice and assessment for conservation efforts in the region, providing lasting benefits.
The PMCP concept is based on three core ecological components, namely:
Coral Reef Health - concentrating mainly on habitat forming primary producers.
Fish and Sharks - their community structure, interactions and impacts on lower trophic levels.
Environmental Pressures - physical and anthropogenic factors that influence the condition of reefs and associated biota.

RV Investigator Voyage IN2018_T02 Triaxus (undulating CTD) Data

This record describes the data (CTD, Dissolved Oxygen, ECO Triplet and LOPC) collected using the towed TRIAXUS platform on Investigator voyage IN2018_T02, titled: "Harmful Algal Blooms and their long term sediment record in East Coast Tasmanian waters." The voyage took place from Brisbane (QLD) to Hobart (TAS) between May 14 and May 21, 2018.
Data for 3 Triaxus deployments were acquired using seabirds SeaSave acquisition software with Seabird SBE911+ CTD #23.
Sea-Bird and O&amp;A Calibration lab supplied calibration factors were used to compute the pressure, preliminary conductivity, oxygen and temperature values. The data was subjected to automated QC to remove spikes and out-of-range values.
Dissolved oxygen sensors, Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) and Transmissometer sensors were also installed on the auxiliary A/D channels of the CTD. In addition to the auxiliary channels an ECO Triplet and LOPC were mounted on the Triaxus as attached payloads.
The standard data product (1 decibar/10 second binned averaged) was produced using data from the primary and seconday sensors to produce an along-track time-series dataset for each data scan file. These files were grouped into sections/legs containing the Triaxus deployment. Moreover, for each section, vertical casts were created with interpolated values from the along-track time-series binned dataset with a maximum interpolation distance of 1 cast. These generated the along-track and vertical cast section data products for each Triaxus deployment.
Throughout the voyage there were some issues with the Triaxus deployments. As a result, the standard data products could not be made for every deployment.
The collected data were subsequently archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&amp;A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart.
Additional information regarding this dataset may be contained in the Voyage Summary and the Data Processing Report.

Sediment Data for Lord Howe Island Shelf

Geoscience Australia carried out a marine survey on Lord Howe Island shelf (NSW) in 2008 (SS06-2008) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through co-located sampling of surface sediments and infauna, rock coring, observation of benthic habitats using underwater towed video, and measurement of ocean tides and wave-generated currents. Sub-bottom profile data was also collected to map sediment thickness and shelf stratigraphy. Data and samples were acquired using the National Facility Research Vessel Southern Surveyor. Bathymetric data from this survey was merged with other pre-existing bathymetric data (including LADS) to generate a grid covering 1034 sq km. As part of a separate Geoscience Australia survey in 2007 (TAN0713), an oceanographic mooring was deployed on the northern edge of Lord Howe Island shelf. The mooring was recovered during the 2008 survey following a 6 month deployment. Seabed sediment samples were collected by a Smith McIntyre grab at a total of 36 locations (see Brooke et al. 2010). The full sample set represents 16 sampling stations, with multiple (2 or 3) samples taken at 10 of these stations. This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub.
