WAMSI 2 - Dredging Node - Project 3.1.3 - Numerical modelling of dredge plumes: a review

In this review, we synthesize the current knowledge on several key processes for sediment transport modelling, and standard practice of sediment transport modelling around the world with a particular focus on the applicability to tropical marine waters off north Western Australia, and tropical Australia more broadly. We also review a number of EIA modelling studies around tropical Australia associated with coastal infrastructure developments. We assess factors contributing to the accuracy in model predictions and the effectiveness of monitoring and managing the impacts during dredge operations. The key issues assessed are: 
(i) contemporary understanding, algorithms and parameters in sediment transport models; (ii) the process of testing and validating model predictions; and 
(iii) the required data for model parameter estimation and model validation. Emphasis is placed on the choice of parameters for modelling key processes for predicting the fate of dredge plumes, including flocculation, resuspension and deposition of the sediments generated through dredging.

2021 State of the Environment Report Marine Chapter – Expert Assessment – State and Trend – Secondary production (zooplankton)

The Marine chapter of the 2021 State of the Environment (SoE) report incorporates multiple expert templates developed from streams of marine data. This metadata record describes the Expert Assessment "State and Trend of secondary production (zooplankton)". 
<strong><em>A PDF of the full Expert Assessment, including figures and tables (where provided) is downloadable in the "On-line Resources" section of this record as "EXPERT ASSESSMENT 2021 - Secondary Production (Zooplankton)"</em></strong>



DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES/COMMUNITY/PROCESS FOR EXPERT ASSESSMENT
Secondary production in the ocean is the generation of biomass by zooplankton – the primary consumers of phytoplankton. The most common zooplankton, the copepods, are the most abundant animals on Earth, even potentially outnumbering insects (Schminke 2006). Zooplankton are important components of the biological pump, shunting carbon from surface to deeper waters through sinking of faeces, exuviae and carcasses (Turner 2015). The recruitment of fish and the carrying capacity of marine ecosystems – the mass of fish, squid, shellfish, marine mammals, seabirds and sea turtles – is regulated by secondary production (Bakun 2006). Productivity hotspots, such as Eden and Bonney upwelling zones, have high densities of zooplankton, sustaining invertebrates, fish and whales alike (Gill 2002).

DATA STREAM(S) USED IN EXPERT ASSESSMENT
We analysed secondary production (zooplankton) data in Coastal areas (from nets at IMOS National Reference Stations, see Eriksen et al. (2019) for detailed methodology) and Offshore bioregions (from the IMOS Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder Survey, see Richardson et al. (2006) for detailed methodology). 



2021 SOE ASSESSMENT SUMMARY [see attached Expert Assessment for full details]

• 2021 •
Assessment grade: Very good

2021 State of the Environment Report Marine Chapter – Expert Assessment – State and Trend – Marine turtles

The Marine chapter of the 2021 State of the Environment (SoE) report incorporates multiple expert templates developed from streams of marine data. This metadata record describes the Expert Assessment "State and Trend of marine turtles". 
<strong><em>A PDF of the full Expert Assessment, including figures and tables (where provided) is downloadable in the "On-line Resources" section of this record as "EXPERT ASSESSMENT 2021 - Marine Turtles"</em></strong>



DESCRIPTION OF TAXONOMIC GROUP FOR EXPERT ASSESSMENT
Six species of marine turtles reside in the marine habitats of Australia, predominantly north of 29ºS and south to the extent of boundary currents sweeping the continental coasts. All six species migrate between marine foraging areas and terrestrial nesting sites. Post hatchlings of five species undertake oceanic migrations that take them outside of Australia’s EEZ. The flatback turtle has a life history largely contained within the waters of the Australian EEZ. Each species can be separated into genetically distinct stocks and Australia shares many of these stocks with neighbouring countries. Marine turtles are of great cultural significance to many Indigenous communities. 
This assessment focusses marine turtles in their nearshore and offshore foraging areas. Nesting beaches are covered in the coasts chapter. 

DATA STREAM(S) USED IN EXPERT ASSESSMENT
Data derived from formal surveys and published summary documents.

CHANGES SINCE 2016 SOE ASSESSMENT
Since 2016 some foraging populations of marine turtles are now considered very poor rather than poor. This is primarily due to climate change impacts, particularly the feminisation of the northern Great Barrier Reef green turtle population. Hawksbill turtles in the GBR are now considered very poor due to climate change and overseas fishing pressure.

Aurora Australis Voyage 1 2016/17 Track and Underway Data

On every voyage of the Aurora Australis, approximately 50 onboard sensors collect data on average every 10 seconds.  These data are known as the underway datasets.  The type of data collected include water and air temperature, wind speeds, ship speed and location, humidity, fluorescence, salinity and so on.  For the full list of available data types, see the website.

These data are broadcast "live" (every 30 minutes) back to Australia and are available via the Australian Oceanographic Data Centre's portal (see the provided link).  Once the ship returns to port, the data are then transferred to Australian Antarctic Division servers where they are then made available via the Marine Science Data Search system (see the provided URL).

This dataset contains the underway data collected during Voyage 1 of the Aurora Australis Voyage in the 2016/17 season.

Purpose of voyage: Davis Resupply

Leader: Mr. Lloyd Symons
Deputy Leader: Mr. Dave Pryce

Underway (meteorological) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL section).

2021 State of the Environment Report Marine Chapter – Expert Assessment – State and Trend – Water column – epipelagic (0-200 m, off-shelf)

The Marine chapter of the 2021 State of the Environment (SoE) report incorporates multiple expert templates developed from streams of marine data. This metadata record describes the Expert Assessment "State and Trend of Water column – epipelagic (0-200 m, off-shelf)". 
<strong><em>A PDF of the full Expert Assessment, including figures and tables (where provided) is downloadable in the "On-line Resources" section of this record as "EXPERT ASSESSMENT 2021 - State and Trend - Water column – epipelagic (0-200 m, off-shelf)"</em></strong>



DESCRIPTION OF HABITAT/COMMUNITY FOR EXPERT ASSESSMENT
The water column (pelagic) community includes microbes, phytoplankton, zooplankton, fish and other higher trophic levels including seabirds, marine reptiles and marine mammals. By definition, the pelagic community is mobile, as smaller species are moved passively by currents, and larger species often move over large distances, both horizontally and vertically. Here we focus on the epipelagic zone, which we have defined as the top 200 m of the water column off the continental shelf (i.e., in waters &gt;200 m depth).
Across Australia’s management bioregions, we analysed the abundance/biomass of a selected group of pelagic trophic levels: Chlorophyll a (representing phytoplankton biomass) from satellite; and Zooplankton biomass from the IMOS Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder (AusCPR) survey.

DATA STREAM(S) USED IN EXPERT ASSESSMENT
As our index of phytoplankton biomass, we analysed Chlorophyll a data from the IMOS Satellite Remote Sensing facility. For Zooplankton, we used biomass data from IMOS AusCPR survey. AusCPR data are collected on 5 nautical mile samples and the zooplankton on every 4th sample along a route is washed onto a filter paper, dried and weighed.

ReefCloud public data (Australia, 2006-2024)

What is this dataset?

This repository is associated with the paper Predicting coral trends and attributing drivers of change from local to global scales by Vercelloni et al. It provides all the information needed to reproduce Case Study 1 presented in the paper, using the code available at: GitHub repository. 

What is used for?

The datasets associated with the repository inform a broad spatial-scale predictive model, which predict annual hard coral cover across all known coral reefs (both monitored and unmonitored) in the region by incorporating a spatial grid and information about the environment (currently cyclone activity and degree heating weeks).

How it was created?

The predictive model uses coral cover data aggregated into 5&times;5km hexagonal units (tier 5 units). Individual monitoring observations from the public ReefCloud platform within the same tier 5 unit are aggregated. In addition, the spatial grid and information on inshore and offshore reefs are also provided in the repository for reproduciblity.

Southern Indian Ocean (MH370) Backscatter 5m 2017 (20170168C)

On behalf of Australia, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is leading search operations for missing Malaysian airlines flight MH370 in the Southern Indian Ocean. Geoscience Australia provided advice, expertise and support to the ATSB to facilitate bathymetric surveys, which were undertaken to provide a detailed map of the sea floor topography to aid navigation during the underwater search. Bathymetric and Backscatter data was acquired by multibeam sonar mounted on the hull of multiple vessels (GA survey reference: GA-4421, GA-4422 &amp; GA-4430). Bathymetric surveys were conducted from June 2014 to February 2017, collecting over 710,000 square kilometres of data in the search area and along transit lines (to and from the search area). 

This backscatter dataset allows exploration of the seafloor topography at a resolution of 5 m across the search and transit areas of the Southern Indian Ocean. 

This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.

2016 SoE Marine Chapter - Case Study - Commonwealth commercial fisheries

The Marine chapter of the 2016 State of the Environment (SoE) report incorporates multiple expert templates developed from streams of marine data. This metadata record describes the Case Study "Commonwealth commercial fisheries". The full Case Study, including figures and tables (where provided), is attached to this record. Where available, the Data Stream(s) used to generate this Case Study are accessible through the "On-line Resources" section of this record.



DESCRIPTION OF THE FOCUS OF THE CASE STUDY
Management of commercial fisheries is shared between the Commonwealth, states and the Northern Territory. In general, the Australian Government, through the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA), is responsible for commercial fishing beyond three nautical miles from the coast. Some Commonwealth fisheries target fish stocks that extend into the high seas and the Exclusive Economic Zones of other countries. These are jointly managed with other countries through conventions and agreements. 
Key commercial stocks in Commonwealth fisheries are managed under the Commonwealth Fisheries Harvest Strategy Policy (HSP). The HSP requires an evidence–based approach to setting sustainable catch levels to ensure stocks are maintained at ecologically sustainable levels and within this context, maximise economic returns to the Australian community. The Australian Government aims to implement an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management, which considers fisheries’ interactions with, and impacts on, bycatch species, habitats, communities and ecosystems. Bycatch species are managed under the Commonwealth Policy on Fisheries Bycatch (BCP) and in line with Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) requirements. The BCP aims to reduce bycatch and improve protection for vulnerable species; this is implemented through a risk management framework.

PRESSURES/ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE
The 2013 HSP review found the policy and guidelines improved the management of Commonwealth fisheries. The HSP is one of only a few comprehensive policies implemented to direct the development of harvest strategies across fisheries.

DATA STREAM(S) USED IN CASE STUDY
Fishery status reports data, 1992 to 2014 covering all Commonwealth fisheries (as described in Patterson et al 2015). The status assessments are underpinned by AFMA’s fishery catch and effort data and the data used in individual fish stock assessments.

2021 State of the Environment Report Marine Chapter – Expert Assessment – State and Trend – Water column – neritic (0-200 m, on-shelf)

The Marine chapter of the 2021 State of the Environment (SoE) report incorporates multiple expert templates developed from streams of marine data. This metadata record describes the Expert Assessment "State and Trend of Water column – neritic (0-200 m, on-shelf)". 
<strong><em>A PDF of the full Expert Assessment, including figures and tables (where provided) is downloadable in the "On-line Resources" section of this record as "EXPERT ASSESSMENT 2021 - State and Trend – Water column – neritic (0-200 m, on-shelf)"</em></strong>



DESCRIPTION OF HABITAT/COMMUNITY FOR EXPERT ASSESSMENT
The water column (pelagic) community includes microbes, phytoplankton, zooplankton, fish and other higher trophic levels including seabirds, marine reptiles and marine mammals. By definition, the pelagic community is mobile, as smaller species are moved passively by currents, and larger species often move over large distances, both horizontally and vertically. Here we focus on the neritic zone, the area close to the coast and overlying the continental shelf. We analyse the abundance/biomass of a selected group of pelagic trophic levels, those that are monitored and readily available in the neritic pelagic region from IMOS (i.e., Chlorophyll a representing phytoplankton biomass, Zooplankton biomass and Fish larval abundance).

DATA STREAM(S) USED IN EXPERT ASSESSMENT
We analysed Chlorophyll a, Zooplankton biomass and Fish larval data from the IMOS National Reference Stations, see Eriksen et al. (2019) for detailed methodology for Zooplankton, Davies &amp; Sommerville (2020) for Chlorophyll a and larval fish methodologies).
