Wind statistics at Governor Head Meteorological Station, Jervis Bay for the summer period between Dec 1990 and Feb 1991

This dataset is a component of the 'Jervis Bay Baseline Studies' project conducted by the Department of Defence, CSIRO and the Australian Defence Force Academy.
The meteorological station (35.133S, 150.762E) recorded winds and atmospheric pressure at Governor Head (Jervis Bay). The site is several hundred metres inland of 50m high cliffs and is 63m above sea-level.
This record provides wind statistics for the summer period between December 1990 to February 1991. Individual measurements have been converted so that trends of wind speed and direction can be seen for the season. The station initially recorded wind data at 15 minute intervals throughout the duration of the experiment.
This is one of thirty-six child records that relate to the parent, 629051e0-2b7b-11dd-a343-00188b4c0af8. A pdf outlining the structure and hierarchy of metadata records relating to the 'Jervis Bay Baseline Studies' project is available to download through this record. Meteorological data was collected to investigate wind forced circulation in Jervis Bay, NSW.

NESP TWQ Project 3.4 - Developing and refining biological indicators for seagrass condition assessments in an integrated monitoring program, 2015-2016 (JCU)

Refinement of biological indicators for condition assessment is an immediate priority as highlighted in a recent review of the GBR Marine Monitoring Program (MMP). Seagrass carbohydrate content is an early-warning indicator of water quality impacts. Samples collected quarterly since 2008 will be analysed and used to establish baselines and optimize protocols for applying carbohydrates as an indicator for future monitoring. Furthermore, calibration formulae to convert seagrass percent cover, the principal condition indicator, to biomass will be developed allowing integration across programs critical for the Reef-wide Integrated Monitoring and Reporting Program. This project provides excellent value for money because samples have been collected in-kind.

Biological and Chemical Assessment of exposure and effects to produced formation water at Harriet A platform in NWS

A comprehensive biological and chemical assessment of the fate, effects and potential risks associated with Produced Formation Water (PFW) were conducted at the Harriet A platform on the Northwest Shelf of Australia. A controlled in situ caging study was conducted using a Australian, tropical reef species, Stripey seaperch (Lutjanus carponotatus), deployed in 6 separate galvanised steel cages set 1m subsurface at 3 stations; Site A (near-field~ 300 m), Site B (far-field, ~ 1000 m) and Site C, a reference site. Samples were collected at T= 0, T= 3 and T=10 days for EROD, cytochrome P450, bile metabolites, CYP1A, CYP2K1- and CYP2M1-like proteins, vitellogenin, GST, HSI, and histopathological assessment of liver and gills. In addition, time-integrated water column samplers (SPMDs) were deployed at all 3 sites to assess in situ petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations. The results from a 3 factor nested ANOVA, demonstrated that were no effects of cages nested in site, and no interactions between cages and time of sampling, therefore the effect of cages was removed from all subsequent analyses. As a result of univariate analysis (ANOVA), bile metabolites, CYP1A, CYP2M1- and CYP2K1-like proteins, and histopathological assessment of livers and gills were statistically significant (p &lt; 0.05) at Site A after 10 days of exposure to PFW, corresponding with higher levels of PAHs at this site. Analysis by Principal Component established trends that the CYP-like proteins explained most of the variation amongst all biomarker responses, and these correlations were driven largely by the effects of site (Site A) and time of sampling (T=10). This study demonstrated that PFW discharged into this shallow tropical ecosystem is causing environmental degradation of water quality within close proximity to the Harriet A platform (~ 300 m). *

The percentage of CaCO3 in samples taken from various depths in core GC12, located in the Capricorn Channel

A gravity core (GC12) was collected from a depth of 990.5 mbsl within the Capricorn Channel, southern Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The percentage of CaCO3 in samples collected from different depths were analysed, along with other parameters, to determine changes in carbonate mineralogy and terrestrial influx. Levels of CaCO3% exhibit an higher percentage of &gt;60% during the middle of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3, levels similar to those seen in MIS 1. Throughout MIS 2 and during the glacial termination the CaCO3% remains relatively constant at ~60%. CaCO3 drops to 50% prior to a possible Antarctic cold reversal (between 14 ka BP and 12 ka BP) at 80cm in the core, before recovering to the 65-70% in the Holocene again.

Seagrass surveys of Exmouth Gulf

A preliminary survey of seagrass communities in Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia, found very low abundances of seagrasses. This seems surprising given the abundance of seagrass beds elsewhere in northern and western Australia, and the highly productive prawn fishery in the gulf; prawn fisheries are usually associated with seagrass systems. Quantitative and qualitative survey of 64 sites, mainly in the inaccessible south and east of the gulf, in September 1994, indicated that seagrasses were neither extensive nor abundant. Percent covers were rarely over 5-10%. Predominant seagrasses were species of Cymodocea Konig, at depths of 0-5 m, and Halodule Endlicher in intertidal areas. Species recorded were largely in accordance with published distribution ranges. Subjective assessments indicate that epiphytic and epilithic ephemeral macroalgae contribute significant amounts of production, compared to seagrasses. The lack of extensive seagrass beds is considered in terms of the physical environment of the gulf, and in terms of the carbon source for the highly productive prawn fishery. Despite the ecological and economic importance of seagrasses, this survey is only the second published account of seagrasses for the coast between Shark Bay, Western Australia, and the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Predicting the impact of prawn effluent on the assimilative capacity of coastal waterways in north Queensland

The assimilative capacity of the receiving environment for the major nutrients and sediments in prawn farm effluent was quantified by describing the dynamics of C, N, O, and P pathways in the substrate and water column of discharge channels and creeks, to determine the environmental impact of prawn farm effluent.Existing hydrodynamic models of the Hinchinbrook Channel and Port Douglas estuaries were refined and extended in order to predict the behaviour of prawn farm effluent entering coastal waterways, thus enabling simulation modelling of the carrying capacity of the environment for prawn farming.
 To develop methods for the determination of the capacity of the receiving environment to assimilate effluent from prawn farms, methods to develop sustainability indicators for aquaculture, and a scientific basis for the objective evaluation of sustainable aquaculture management options.
 This project was funded by AIMS, the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC Project 97/212) and Aquaculture CRC Ltd (Project E1).This data was combined with other relevant data from CSIRO and UQ to produce a synthesis from several prawn farms along the Queensland coast.

Benthic communities and geomorphic zones of Heron Reef

Providing accurate maps of coral reefs where the spatial scale and labels of the mapped features correspond to map units appropriate for examining biological and geomorphic structures and processes is a major challenge for remote sensing. The objective of this work is to assess the accuracy and relevance of the process used to derive geomorphic zone and benthic community zone maps for three western Pacific coral reefs produced from multi-scale, object-based image analysis (OBIA) of high-spatial-resolution multi-spectral images, guided by field survey data. Three Quickbird-2 multi-spectral data sets from reefs in Australia, Palau and Fiji and georeferenced field photographs were used in a multi-scale segmentation and object-based image classification to map geomorphic zones and benthic community zones. A per-pixel approach was also tested for mapping benthic community zones. Validation of the maps and comparison to past approaches indicated the multi-scale OBIA process enabled field data, operator field experience and a conceptual hierarchical model of the coral reef environment to be linked to provide output maps at geomorphic zone and benthic community scales on coral reefs. The OBIA mapping accuracies were comparable with previously published work using other methods; however, the classes mapped were matched to a predetermined set of features on the reef.

Minderoo Foundation’s OceanOmics Program

The overarching goal of the Minderoo Foundation’s OceanOmics Program is to revolutionise how we measure, understand, and ultimately conserve life in our oceans. 
The program focuses on the advancement and implementation of environmental DNA (eDNA) technologies at speed and scale, in the context of biodiversity monitoring and marine conservation. This includes (1) designing, evaluating and deploying scalable and standardised eDNA laboratory procedures; (2) generating reference genome resources for marine vertebrate species; (3) developing novel open-source computational approaches for analysis of eDNA data; and (4) deploying such technologies and resources in the field at scale, covering both spatial and temporal dimensions,  including high-throughput automated and/or autonomous solutions for seawater sampling and eDNA isolation.
To accelerate the generation of eDNA data for Australian marine environments, the program will collect seawater samples for eDNA analyses throughout the Commonwealth marine estate. Over the past 2.5 years (2021-2023), we have visited and produced data from a number of Australian Marine Parks within the North-West and South-West networks. To date, our main output is sequencing data from Australian waters for fish community description, with the raw sequencing reads deposited in the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA), one bioproject per expedition area.

Phytoplankton concentration measurements in Sydney Harbour - 22nd October 2004

A study of the response of phytoplankton to rainfall in Sydney Harbour, on the 22nd October 2004, is reported here. Sydney Harbour is an important port and recreational region for the city of Sydney. Phytoplankton can be used as one of the indexes of water quality. The concentration of phytoplankton is influenced by the nutrients in the water and the amount of nutrients is thought to alter according to the urban and industrial wastes that drain from the city of Sydney.  
The amount of phytoplankton before and after rainfall at Pyrmont in Sydney Harbour was observed. The concentration of chlorophyll after a period of rainfall from the 15th October to the 4th of November 2004, as measured from the surface to 7m deep, was almost 5 times as much as that as before the rain event. The maximum chlorophyll concentration observed by fluorometer was 27 [ug/litre].
