Coastal Lake Assessment and Management Tool (CLAM): Terranora Broadwater, Tweed Shire Council

The Coastal Lake Assessment and Management (CLAM) tool allows stakeholders to assess the social, economic and environmental trade-offs associated with development, remediation and use options for coastal lakes and estuaries. Researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) developed CLAM in 2004 when contracted by the NSW State Government to provide sustainability assessments of 8 coastal lakes. Several projects have since been established directly with local government and NRM groups.
To date, 27 CLAMs have been developed in New South Wales, where they generally fit within estuary management or catchment management plans. To develop these CLAMs and build local capacity to maintain them, ANU-Enterprise Pty Ltd - the commercial company of ANU developed an Accreditation Scheme whereby local consultants are trained in the CLAM approach.

RAN CTD Profile Data - HMAS LEEUWIN ProjectID: HI460(A)LEE_M From: 2009-09-02 To: 2009-09-11

This dataset contains quality controlled vertical profiles of pressure, temperature and salinity measured by a Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) probe. The dataset contains 182 CTD profiles (casts) obtained during RAN Hydrographic Survey cruise HI460(A)LEE_M from HMAS LEEUWIN.
The CTD was manufactured by Applied Microsystems Limited and is the "Micro CTD" model. This CTD type is referred to operationally as the MVP200_CTD. This CTD is fitted with a 4 electrode platinized conductivity cell, thermistor temperature sensor and a semiconductor strain gauge pressure sensor.
The CTD sensors are calibrated at the manufacturer Applied Microsystems Limited on a 12-18 month schedule. The CTD temperature sensor is calibrated against 'Hart' temperature standards. The pressure sensor is calibrated using 'Budenburg Deadweight' standards. The conductivity sensor is calibrated using 'Hart' temperature standards and seawater samples of known conductivity.
The CTD sensors are mounted to a fish-shape probe. The probe is controlled by an electric winch (MVP200 type). For downcasts the fish is allowed to free-fall (winch is in 'free-wheel' mode) under its own weight at about 2-3 ms-1 and then is winched back. Data is recorded in downcast and usually in upcast direction at a sampling rate of 25 Hz. The downcast data is of higher quality because sensors encounter undisturbed seawater that flows through the nose of the fish. On the upcast the fish is flipped around (tail first) and the sensors in the nose encounter disturbed flow from the fish tail.
This type of CTD is prone to a phenomenon called 'salinity spiking' caused by a mismatch between the response times of the temperature and conductivity sensor. Data undergoes a salinity de-spiking routine to correct for this. See the history metadata for further details on the salinity de-spiking process.
Raw CTD pressure data is not always monotonic due to transient up/down motion of winch/ship. Raw pressure data is subsetted to give a monotonic (increasing) sequence and then linearly interpolated to 1 decibar pressure intervals. Data is then flagged with quality control flags after visual inspection and comparison to average climatology and historical CTD casts.

NWSSRP Theme 3 - Protected and Iconic Species Movement, Distribution and Threats

Australia&#39;s North West is home to some of our most iconic marine animals. To manage potential threats, we need to understand where the populations are, where they move and the key areas they use to breed and feed. The objective of this theme is to use a combination of proven and innovative methods to elucidate pygmy blue whale, hawksbill turtle and green turtle distribution and quantify the risks to these, and other, iconic megafauna posed by vessel movements, industrial infrastructure and activities on the Northwest Shelf of Australia.
This project is tracking whales using three methods: satellite tracking; acoustic surveys using hydrophones attached to sea gliders; and analysing water samples for their DNA. To understand where green turtles and hawkbill turtle roam, researchers will follow them by attaching satellite tags to individual turtles. These tracks identifiy the areas they use, and will be compared to the areas of human activities, highlighting where both overlap.

Benthic Habitat Survey Scott Reef 2006

This survey was designed to assess the broad-scale habitats of Scott Reef in all habitats of North and South Reef to a water depth of 60metres.
 The habitat maps are derived from the analysis of the LADS survey and using spatial analysis of towed video data for depths greater than 10 metres. Towed video data was collected in 1999, 2004 and a dedicated expedition in February 2006 on the Kimberley Quest II. In addition, all habitat classification data collected on previous AIMS research expeditions, between 1993 and 2005 was included in metadata GIS system which maximised the resolution of the habitat map.
 Benthos Point intercept data extraction from high resolution still images @ 10m spacing was entered into the AIMS TowedStills system prior to subsequent specialist statistical analyses.

Radiolarian abundance counts on Last Glacial Maximum core samples

Abundance counts by taxon of radiolaria from six Eastern Indian Ocean core samples dated to the last glacial maximum. The samples were selected because they were also used for the estimatation of sea-surface temperature by Barrows and Juggins (2005) and thus could provide some confirmation of the estimates made using the radiolarian transfer function.

Abundance and distribution of coastal, inshore zooplankton in the Huon Estuary and D'Entrecasteaux Channel, Tasmania: Sampling trip 11/02/2005

Mesozooplankton community composition and structure were examined throughout the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, Huon Estuary and North West Bay,  Tasmania, from November 2004 to October 2005, the data represented by this record was collected on the 11/02/2005.
The composition of the mesozooplankton community was typical of inshore, temperate marine habitats, with seasonally higher abundance in summer and autumn and lower numbers in winter and spring. Copepods were the largest contributors to total abundance across all seasons and stations, while cladocerans and appendicularians were proportionally abundant in spring and summer. The faecal pellets of these three main groups, along with those of krill and amphipods, also contributed significantly to material recovered from sediment traps. Meroplanktonic larvae of benthic animals showed short-term peaks in abundance and were often absent from the water column for long periods. Spatially, North West Bay and the Channel had a higher representation of typically marine species, including Calanus australis and Labidocera cervi, while truly estuarine species, such as the copepod Gladioferens pectinatus, were more important in the Huon Estuary.

RAN CTD Profile Data - HMAS LEEUWIN ProjectID: HI488LEE_H From: 2011-02-12 To: 2011-02-21

This dataset contains quality controlled vertical profiles of pressure, temperature and salinity measured by a Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) probe. The dataset contains 2 CTD profiles (casts) obtained during RAN Hydrographic Survey cruise HI488LEE_H from HMAS LEEUWIN. 
The CTD was manufactured by Falmouth Scientific and is the "2-inch Micro CTD" model. This CTD type is referred to operationally as the HS_CTD. This CTD is fitted within an inductive type conductivity cell, a platinum thermometer and silicon pressure sensor.
The CTD temperature sensor is calibrated on the ITS-90 temperature scale against a master CTD using a controlled temperature bath. The pressure sensor is calibrated using a Druck Pressure Calibrator. The conductivity sensor is calibrated in a temperature controlled bath against seawater samples of known conductivity.
The HS_CTD is lowered and raised by a hand winch sampling at a rate of 1.83 Hz. Data files were recorded in the downcast and upcast direction but most data is from downcasts due to higher quality. Raw CTD pressure data is not always monotonic due to transient up/down motion of winch/ship. Raw pressure data is subsetted to give a monotonic (increasing) sequence and then linearly interpolated to 1 decibar pressure intervals and converted to netCDF format files. Data is then flagged with quality control flags after visual inspection and comparison to average climatology and historical CTD casts.
