NESP MB Project A6 - Prioritisation of research and management needs for Australian elasmobranch species

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub project "Prioritisation of research and management needs for Australian elasmobranch species". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.

NERP successfully demonstrated new ways to get the raw ingredients for evidence-based management of previously intractable species: abundance, survival, connectivity. But there is still a need to explore/demonstrate how management can use these tools (e.g. adaptive control of bycatch, or deciding if more monitoring is needed), and which species are suitable. This project comprises (i) a workshop to re-assess Australian shark and ray species in terms of degree-of-concern, state-of-knowledge-for-management, and feasibility-of-filling-knowledge-gaps; and (ii) a desk study exemplifying one pathway to management use. In 2016, we will work with DoE to prioritize species for research and explore more management pathways.

Planned Outputs
• A report outlining workshop findings, recommendations relative to data gaps and effective research approaches to address these gaps. 
• A paper demonstrating how management can use new methods to examine adaptive monitoring of bycatch to assess impact
• Presentation of results to key stakeholders and end users

SeaMap Tasmania benthic habitat map

The SeaMap Tasmania project undertook mapping of seafloor habitats across the nearshore Tasmanian coastline (0-40 m) - the first state to compile a statewide asssimilated benthic habitat dataset.

This initiative comprised of collating aerial photography (from archives), acoustic mapping, and conducting underwater video surveys and field-based visual observations. From this, 1:25,0000 scale habitat maps were created for shallow coastal water to within 1.5 km of the coastline (or 40m depth, which ever was arrived at first).

Depth information was collected via acoustic methods and used to discriminate seafloor habitat type, in combination with scanned aerial photographs and towed video transects providing ground-truthing information. See 'Lineage' section of this record for full methodology and data dictionary.

This data is also available via the Seamap Australia National Benthic Habitat Layer - a nationally consolidated benthic habitat map.

NESP MB Project C2 - Continental-scale tracking of threats to shallow Australian reef ecosystems

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub project "Continental-scale tracking of threats to shallow Australian reef ecosystems". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.

The project will integrate Australia’s largest, most detailed datasets of shallow-water tropical and temperate marine biodiversity, and assess how pollution, fishing, rising sea temperatures and introduced species are impacting associated natural values. An initial outcome will be the identification of state-of-the-environment indicators for inclusion in the 2016 State of the Environment report, with subsequent activities aimed at contributing additional data products needed for other NESP projects, Parks Australia, and the Essential Environmental Measures initiative. The project will also describe a national shallow-water baseline of biodiversity in Commonwealth Marine Reserves for assessment of change through the long term.

Planned Outputs

Publications describing:
• Environmental values at all sites investigated in Commonwealth waters by Reef Life Survey divers
• Compatibility of survey data obtained through LTMP, RLS and LTMPA programs, and corrections factors needed when linking outputs of these monitoring programs
• Time series data depicting interannual variation over the past two decades in ecological indicators specific to individual threats 
• Relationships between anthropogenic stressors and reef condition, with emphasis on impacts of sewage and heavy metal pollution, fishing, warming sea temperature, urbanisation and introduced species
• Sensitive and cost effective indicators of threats to environmental condition.

• Coherent marine ecological data streams that feed into SoE reporting, the Essential Environmental Measures initiative, and future evaluation of Commonwealth Marine Reserves.

NESP D3 Hunter Marine Park Bathymetry 2019 (20190061S)

Gridded multi-beam echousounder (MBES) bathymetry data for Hunter Marine Park acquired using NSW Department of Planning Industry and Environment MBES system aboard RV Bombora for the National Environmental Science Program (NESP Biodiversity Hub). Fieldwork was funded, both cash and in-kind, by NSW DPIE and NESP in Year 1 (2015) and 4 (2018) of the D3 Project. Initial surveys (2015) were exploratory as long-lines across the inner Special Purpose Zone (trawl) over the continental shelf with later surveys (2018) focused on 100% coverage over areas previously identified as containing the Key Ecological Feature ‘Continental Shelf Reef’. Reports by Davies et al (2016) 'Mapping Shelf Rocky Reef Habitats in the Hunter Commonwealth Marine Reserve', National Environmental Science Program Biodiversity Hub D3 Project –Evaluating and monitoring the status of marine biodiversity assets on the continental shelf; and Williams et al (2020) 'Mapping and characterising reef habitat and fish assemblages of the Hunter Marine Park', Project D3- Preparing for and implementing monitoring of CMR’s and the status of marine biodiversity assets on the continental shelf, Milestone Report December 2020; detail these MBES surveys as well as towed underwater video and BRUVs, to characterise seabed habitats, fish and sessile invertebrate assemblages of the Hunter Marine Park. Reports are available at https://www.nespmarine.edu.au/publications. Survey sites for focused mapping in 2018-19 were 1) 3-6 NM east and south-east of Seal Rocks - Sugarloaf Point, 2) Outer Gibber - a feature in 20-60m of water north-east of Broughton Islands and ~3-4 NM from shore and 3) 3-7 NM east to north-east of Broughton Island.

Data accompanying: Crustose coralline algae display sensitivity to near future global ocean change scenarios

Most research investigating how ocean warming and acidification will impact marine species has focused on visually dominant species, such as kelps and corals, while ignoring visually cryptic species such as crustose coralline algae (CCA). CCA are important keystone species that provide settlement cues for invertebrate larvae and can be highly sensitive to global ocean change. However, few studies have assessed how CCA respond to low emission scenarios or conditions. In a laboratory experiment, we examined the responses of temperate CCA assemblages to combined warming and acidification projected under low, medium, and high emissions. Net calcification and net photosynthesis significantly declined in all emissions scenarios, while significant reductions in relative growth rates and increases in percentage bleaching were observed in the highest emission scenario. The negative responses of CCA to both low and medium emissions suggest that they may be adversely impacted by combined warming and acidification by 2030 if current emissions are sustained. This will have far reaching consequences for commercially important invertebrates that rely on them to induce settlement of larvae. These findings highlight the need to take rapid action to preserve these critical keystone species and the valuable services they provide.

SSCN SEGMENT 2-C Murray Marine Park Bathymetry Acquisition (20240016S)

This dataset is part of a broader survey carried out by EGS onboard the survey vessel RV Bold Explorer (RV BE) during the  SUBCO Subsea Cable Network (SSCN) cable route survey. 

The area is confined to the data within the Murray&nbsp;Marine Park. The Survey team and client representative joined the RV Bold Explorer on 17th April 2024 at Fremantle Port,  Australia. Following the embarkation of the survey team, equipment testing and commissioning was carried out. Calibration and verification of the DGPS positioning system and survey gyros onboard RV BE were performed while the vessel was alongside at Fremantle Port, Australia between 17th April and 18th April 2024. 

Prior to departure, tow sensors and hull-mounted sensors were wet tested. All systems were found to be operational. The RV Bold Explorer departed Fremantle Port, Australia and transited to the first site on 19th April 2024. The offshore calibration of shallow water multibeam echosounder (MBES) and USBL were performed on 19th April 2024 while the  calibration of deep water MBES was carried out on 20th April 2024.

The SSCN Segment 2-C survey comprised an investigation of bathymetry, seabed features and shallow geology along the proposed route. A subsequent geotechnical sampling programme was also executed.

This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.
