IMOS - New Technology Proving - Low Cost Wave Buoys

The Low Cost Wave Buoy Technology Sub-Facility, part of the New Technology Proving Facility, will focus primarily on Spotter Wave Buoys, developed by Sofar Ocean Technologies. These Spotter wave buoys are significantly less expensive relative to conventional wave buoys, smaller in size and easier to deploy.
Low Cost Wave Buoy Technology aims to assess the performance of Spotter wave buoys over a wide range of oceanic conditions and determine their reliability for long-term deployments compared to conventional wave buoys. 
There are presently 4 IMOS sites, these are: 
o    Torbay – 2 x Spotters (multiple deployments)
o    Goodrich Bank – 1 x Spotter (single deployment)
o    Tantabiddi – 1 x Spotter (single deployment)
o    Cape Bridgewater – 2 x Spotter (multiple deployments)
The data from these buoys will be available in delayed mode as part of the National Wave Archive (https://imos.aodn.org.au/imos123/home?uuid=2807f3aa-4db0-4924-b64b-354ae8c10b58), with plans to provide near real-time data in the future.

Abalone fishing block 24 - High resolution acoustic data of reef habitat

The principle aim of this project was to map the fine-scale spatial distribution of key abalone habitat impacted by urchins in &lt; 25 m water depth using multibeam acoustic imagery. Detailed substrate type (Pavement Reef, Megaclast Reef, Mixed Consolidated Sediment/Reef and Sand), and kelp coverage maps have been produced for the east coast of Tasmania. Large urchin barrens have been predicted and the minimum quantifiable unit of which small incipient barrens can be detected has been identified using this acoustic water column technique.
This data provides a snapshot of the 2021 distribution of seafloor habitats and associated vegetation distribution, and will assist in the facilitation of strategic decision making for urchin control and abalone management.
Data for download has been split by fishing block (22-24, 27-30). This record describes FISHING BLOCK 24. The following data products are available for download, for each fishing block:
• 50cm resolution bathymetry
• 50cm resolution substrate type (Seamap Australia classification)
• bathymetry derivatives (seabed slope, curvature, rugosity, 1 and 2m contours)
• water column data - 1m mean signal
• water column data - 9m2 raw block statistic
• water column data - vegetation likelihood classification
See associated records for access to data from other fishing blocks (22, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30).

Satellite Mapping of Bathymetry and Habitats of Ashmore Reef and Cartier Island Marine Parks

Parks Australia - Our Marine Parks Grants Round 3 Project: Satellite Mapping of Bathymetry and Habitats of Ashmore and Cartier Island Marine Parks
This project aimed to map the satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) and benthic habitats at 2m horizontal spatial resolution, for the shallow waters (~0-25 m) of the Ashmore Reef and Cartier Island Marine Parks. These critical geospatial data layers provide the essential environmental baseline information for the long-term monitoring and management of these Marine Parks. Mapping the shallow water zone is of importance both from an environmental and socioeconomic perspective. Having access to digital, georeferenced, high-resolution, satellite-derived maps of bathymetry and benthic habitats of shallow water areas, is of fundamental use in the areas of navigation, ecological research, environmental modelling, management and conservation, and monitoring the impacts from climate change.

Physical and chemical parameters of several oyster growing areas in Tasmania: Georges 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 Georges 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.

NESP MaC Project 1.4 - Characterising values and identifying indicators and metrics of fish and benthic assemblages within the Capes region of the South-west Corner Marine Park (UWA)

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub bridging study - "Characterising values and identifying indicators and metrics of fish and benthic assemblages within the Capes region of the South-west Corner Marine Park". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.
Inventory surveys of Australian Marine Parks (AMPs) provide a broad description of the natural assets that exist in Commonwealth waters. These data can be further explored to identify biological indicators and metrics to cost-effectively monitor the AMPs and inform the AMP Monitoring Evaluation Reporting and Improvement (MERI) system.
Historical surveys conducted under the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub inventoried natural values and ecosystem components in selected AMPs. They developed and tested standardised survey techniques to allows scientists and park managers to identify and measure the status of natural values and ecosystem components. A recent Marine Biodiversity Hub survey conducted detailed bathymetric and visual sampling of key seafloor habitat and fish assemblages in the Capes region of South-west Corner Marine Park (Western Australia). 
This project analysed the Capes survey data to characterise and predict the broader distribution of natural values and ecosystem features, and to identify relevant indicators of fish and benthic assemblages for Park management. The results are presented alongside summaries of existing knowledge on natural, socio-economic, and cultural values, as well as human pressures. Recommendations include establishing national and international monitoring benchmarks and incorporating survey guidance from Traditional Owners.
Outputs
• Habitat annotations for AUV &amp; drop camera imagery [dataset]
• Geomorphic features map using existing fine-scale bathymetry of the Capes' National Park and Special Protection zones  [dataset]
• Habitat map using existing fine-scale bathymetry coverage (validated by drop camera surveys) [dataset]
• Annotations of fish and shark size, abundance and diversity from stereo-BRUV deployments [dataset]
• Science communication article for the Australian Marine Parks Science Atlas [written]
• South-west Corner Marine Park survey report [written]

ROV imagery from the Gascoyne Marine Park

This record describes Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) imagery collected from within the Gascoyne Marine Park offshore northwestern Australia.
The ROV SuBastian was used to conduct imagery transects on 20 dives across 16 stations, including 12 quantitative transects within the Cape Range Canyon. No quantitative transects were conducted in the Cloates Canyon due to delays caused by poor weather. SuBastian is equipped with a Sulis Subsea Z70 deep sea science camera, with 4K UHD 2160p optics and sensors for temperature, depth, conductivity and oxygen. The quantitative transects were run for 500 m upslope, ideally at a speed of 0.3 knots and an altitude of 2 m above the seafloor or rock walls. Still images were acquired every 5 seconds, with additional frames added manually as required.
Still images from most transects were primarily annotated onboard using the RV Falkor’s private instance of SQUIDLE+, with some post-survey annotation conducted using the public instance of Squidle+ (http://squidle.org/).
See post-survey report for full methodology.

IMOS - National Mooring Network - National Reference Stations - Combined long-term hydrological data product (1944-2014)

The National Reference Station (NRS) network is designed to provide baseline information, at timescales relevant to human response, that is required to understand how large-scale, long-term change and variability in the global ocean are affecting the ecosystems of Australia's coastal seas. The stations are operated by the National Mooring Network (formerly known as the Australian National Mooring Network (ANMN)), a facility of the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). This product includes temperature and salinity measurements from the original water sampling program carried out by CSIRO since the 1940s, and the water sampling and CTD casts carried out by IMOS since 2009. Sampling under CSIRO was undertaken at intervals of one to several weeks, and under IMOS, sampling is approximately monthly. Temperature measurements were taken from reversing thermometers by CSIRO, and from profiling CTDs by IMOS. These are combined into a single continuous timeseries, for measurements at the surface and depths up to 50m. Currently this product is only available for the Maria Island NRS. Located off the east coast of Maria Island in Tasmania, the station has provided the longest high quality ocean time series in the Southern Hemisphere, consisting of biogeochemical samples collected since 1944 and high-frequency moored instrument data since 2008..

GBRLSL: Lizard Island Slope Mooring component of the GBR Mooring Array

GBRLSL: Lizard Island Slope Mooring component of the GBR Mooring Array.
 Northern GBR - Lizard Island MooringsThe moorings in the northern area around Lizard Island are designed to detect two phenomena. The first is to measure the northern arm of the bifurcation where the westward South Equatorial Current impacts the reef and splits into two streams, one traveling north and one travelling south along the outer GBR. The bifurcation point varies latitudinally seasonally and so the variability is to be monitored. The slope mooring is located near Jewel Reef (GBRLSL).The other process being measured is the cross shelf movement of water onto the GBR shelf. As the outer ribbon reef is well defined in this area most of the exchange is confined to narrow reef passages and the entrance of Cormorant Passage has been occupied (GBRLSH).
 The Mooring array is part of the GBROOS or Great Barrier Reef Ocean Observing System project which in turn is part of the Australian Integrated Marine Observing System or IMOS.
