Tide gauge data obtained from a mooring 200m off the west coast of Bowen Island, Jervis Bay

A tide gauge mooring was installed in 10-12m of water 200m off the west coast of Bowen Island, Jervis Bay. Opposed to other moorings in the area, this particular mooring did not house additional current meters. 

Over a period of approx. 9 months the mooring was deployed 4 times in the same location (as illustrated). 
Deployments 1-4  -35.1183 S 150.763 E. 
Approx deployment dates - see individual records for exact date and time of collection: 1) 22/6/89 - 13/7/89... 2) 28/8/89 - 13/11/89... 3) 13/11/89 - 29/1/90... 4) 29/1/90 - 28/3/90.

Datasets presented here correspond to data retrieved from the tide gauge over the study period.
The Aanderaa WLR5 tide gauges used in this study average over 41 seconds for all sampling intervals. In the case of the 2nd and 3rd deployment the sampling interval was 15mins, while for the 4th deployment a sampling interval of 30mins was used. Unfortunately no data is available from the 1st deployment. 

The tide gauge was secured to the mooring line on the sea-bed at a depth of ~10m in all deployments. In addition to depth, the tide gauge also housed a temperature sensor.

Tide Gauge data from Townsville Port - 1993

This is data collected during dredging by the Townsville Port Authority in Cleveland Bay in 1993.  Data are divided into a number of main groups: Wind, tide gauge, wave rider, S4, sediment traps, water samples and nephelometers.

Unique site numbers were assigned within Cleveland Bay at which data were collected.  Some of these sites were named, and others were unnamed.

Tide gauge and water temperature data from three moorings in Jervis Bay: 05/12/88 - 11/01/89

Three pressure-sensor water-level recorders were deployed, at HMAS Creswell (Orange mooring), off Bowen Island (Black mooring) and off Point Perpendicular (Yellow mooring). These sensors recorded water level and water temperature at 10 minute intervals commencing on 05/12/88 and  finishing on 11/01/89. 

The Yellow mooring line at Point Perpendicular broke during recovery, and was not recovered by divers until the 08/02/89. This tide gauge was (unintentionally) deployed on rocky steep sloping banks. The water level record revealed that the instrument had slipped down the steep banks on several occasions producing instantaneous changes in water level of up to 1m. These were removed from the data record. 

The Black mooring was located at 35.1117 S 150.767 E with a sensor depth of 11m. 
The Orange mooring was located at 35.1206 S 150.704 E with a sensor depth of 13m. 
The Yellow mooring was located at 35.0967 S 150.802 E with a sensor depth of 20m.

The use of claw colour and pattern for species recognition in the fiddler crab Uca mjoebergi

In the fiddler crab Uca mjoebergi, males attract females to their burrows by waving their enlarged yellow claw. Colour is clearly involved in species recognition in U. mjoebergi, but the role of the species-specific colour pattern has not been investigated. 

Here we show that U. mjoebergi females preferentially approach uniformaly yellow claws over bicoloured, yellow and white, claws. This is not due to a preference for a larger yellow signal, as they fail to discriminate between bicoloured claws differing in the proportion of yellow. Claw colour and pattern appear to be equally important in the recognition of conspecific males, as females do not distinguish between a uniformly coloured claw of the wrong colour and a claw containing yellow in the wrong pattern.

Experiments were conducted in October 2005, near the mangrove boardwalk in the East Point Reserve, Darwin, NT.

The Tasmanian Jobs Programme Evaluation

The Tasmanian Jobs Programme (TJP) was a pilot wage subsidy program that ran for 2 years from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2015. The TJP was designed to help Tasmanian job seekers who were, or were at risk of being, long-term unemployed to find sustained employment. This evaluation examines how effective, efficient and appropriate the program was in providing sustained employment opportunities for Tasmanian job seekers who had been unemployed for six months or more.

A summary of the key facts of the evaluation report is also available, as well as a Departmental Response to the evaluation. This report is provided by Department of Jobs and Small Business (previously Department of Employment).

The sediments of the Argo Abyssal Plain and adjacent areas, northeast Indian Ocean

A series of geophysical traverses by the Atlantis II across the Argo Abyssal Plain, together with coring at a number of selected localities has provided new information on sedimentary and tectonic processes in this region of the northeast Indian Ocean. Isopach maps prepared from the seismic profiles show that sediment thicknesses crudely parallel the bathymetry. The presence of some diapirs in the Argo Abyssal Plain was indicated. It was not possible to say from the present program whether the probable diapirs are salt or mud-cored. A diverse group of cores were obtained from a variety of sites including siliceous clays from below the CCD, calcareous oozes from above the CCD, calcareous clays (showing evidence of abundant sulphate reduction) from a fore-arc basin site, and manganese nodules from an abyssal site. In addition, hyaloclastites from the Joey Rise area (north of the Exmouth Plateau), suggest that the Joey Rise, and possibly also the Roo Rise, are underlain by basaltic material. A sample of basalt was also recovered from the outer part of the Exmouth Plateau.

The role of copper in facilitating the invasion of sessile marine invertebrate communities by pests: effects of copper pulse frequency in established assemblages

Disturbance events are thought to provide an opportunity for the colonisation and establishment of invasive species.  Contamination of coastal waters with copper from sewage outfall and antifouling paints may create a disturbance that favours the establishment of introduced sessile invertebrates.  This study examines if the frequency of experimentally applied doses of copper sulfate increases the abundance of introduced sessile invertebrate species within developing (2-weeks old) and established (9-months old) assemblages.  Responses to regular and irregularly applied doses of copper were also tested in developing assemblages. 

This dataset gives the effects of copper pulse frequency on the number of native and introduced taxa within established (9 month-old) sessile invertebrate assemblages.  Experimental manipulations were carried out in Port Phillip Bay at Workshops Jetty, Williamstown, Victoria over a 10 week period between October and December 2004.  Nine-month old sessile invertebrate assemblages established on Perspex plates were subjected to three treatments: an undosed control, or copper pulses applied every 2 or 4 weeks.
