Physical and chemical parameters of several oyster growing areas in Tasmania: Simpsons Bay

Physical and chemical parameters at five Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) growing areas in Tasmania - Pittwater, Pipeclay Lagoon, Little Swanport, Georges Bay and Simpsons Bay - were measured as part of a study to determine the carrying capacity of the areas for oyster farming. The data represented by this record, was collected in Simpsons Bay. This has provided valuable environmental data for these areas. The hydrodynamic regimes at each area except Simpsons Bay were studied, including high and low water volumes, flushing rates, flow rates and depth contours.
Temperature, salinity and concentrations of nitrates, phosphates, silicates and chlorophyll a were measured monthly at several sites in each area. The change in these parameters over different time scales also was examined at two sites in Pittwater and indicated temporal and spatial variability in the environmental parameters measured.

State-of-Knowledge data quality ratings for Australian Marine Parks [Seamap Australia]

An assessment was made of the state of research knowledge in the Australian Marine Parks (2022 boundaries). This quality assessment is specifically of the suitability of data streams for deriving habitat maps.
Five nationally-aggregated data streams were used in the assessment:
(1) Seamap Australia (seafloor habitat)
(2) AusSeabed bathymetry survey extents (bathymetry mapping)
(3) Squidle+ imagery deployments (habitat observations)
(4) GlobalArchive video deployments (habitat observations)
(5) Geoscience Australia's Marine Sediment Database (MARS)
From these data streams, quality ratings (0-5) have been made for the state of research knowledge for three research disciplines:
(A) bathymetry maps;
(B) habitat observations; and
(C) habitat maps.
Data quality assessments are reported for each AMP Network and Park. Assessments can be accessed in context at https://seamapaustralia.org/region-reports, via the State-of-Knowledge functionality in the Seamap Australia mapping portal: https://seamapaustralia.org/map, or as a stand-alone file in the 'Downloads' section of this record. This data is live and is refreshed weekly.

Australia's network of Commonwealth Marine Reserves

Consistent with the Australian Government's commitment to develop a National Representative System of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), networks of Commonwealth Marine Reserves have been proclaimed for Commonwealth waters across the South-west, North-west, North, Coral Sea and Temperate East Marine Regions. These networks build on previous Marine Protected Area proclamations, including the South-east network declared in 2007.\n\nThis dataset is released under Creative Commons by Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Australia (CC BY-NC 3.0).\n\nIMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MARINE USERS\nTransitional arrangements apply to the South-west, North-west, North and Temperate East Networks and the Coral Sea reserve, until management plans come into effect. These arrangements involve NO CHANGES ON THE WATER for marine users. Note, there are no changes to management arrangements in the marine reserves that existed prior to the establishment of the new reserves, that is, the same restrictions on activities will continue to apply even where those reserves have been incorporated into new reserves. The South-east Network of Commonwealth Marine Reserves is managed under the South-east Commonwealth Marine Reserves Network Management Plan 2013-23, in place from 1 July 2013. More information is available at www.environment.gov.au/marinereserves \n\nThis data contains spatial and contextual information about Commonwealth Marine Reserves under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth governments Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, which are managed by the Australian Government Department of the Environment. It does not include data on MPA's in other Australian jurisdictions (e.g. the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, State/Territory parks), or Terrestrial Protected Areas with marine components (eg Pulu Keeling National Park).

NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) Single-beam Bathymetry and Coastal Topography Surveys

Data products from elevation/bathymetry surveys carried out by the New South Wales Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). Surveys were conducted in and around NSW Coastal and State Waters, using 1) single-beam echosounder, 2) terrestrial laser scanner and/or 3) pole-mounted Leica positioning unit (beach cross section) for the state?s coastal surveying program. The program is ongoing and provides highly accurate and precise, fine-scale elevation data for NSW nearshore, estuaries and beaches. Single-beam and beach cross-section surveys are most often provided as 5m binned along track transect data whereas laser scanner data are usually better than 5m binned grids for use in GIS applications. Data are often combined and issued as PDF survey maps relative to Local or Australian Height Datum. Generally, survey and data processing details are included as txt format files or more recently (&gt;2011) in a "scientific rigour" statement. A shape file is also provided showing the geographic coverage of the survey (ESRI shapefile and Google KMZ formats).
