NESP MaC Project 5.10 - Improving socio-ecological understanding of natural values in Australian Marine Parks (UWA)

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub project "Improving socio-ecological understanding of natural values in Australian Marine Parks". No public data outputs will be generated by this project.

Parks Australia (Australian Government) manage 60 Australian Marine Parks (AMPs) around the country, covering an area of 3.8 million square kilometres, or 43% of all Australian waters. The approach to managing AMPs is set out in eight Management Plans: one for each of the five marine park networks (North, North-west, South-west, South-east and Temperate East) and one each for the Coral Sea Marine Park, Christmas Island Marine Park and Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Park. A statutory review of Management Plans for the North, North-west, South-west, Temperate-East networks and the Coral Sea Marine Park is scheduled for 2028. Socio-economic information is needed alongside natural values data to assess management effectiveness and understand how Australians use, value and perceive the marine park system.

This project progressed the use of socio-economic information to support Australian Marine Park management and the 2028 management plan review. It builds on previous NESP research by redeveloping socio-economic benchmarks aligned with Parks Australia’s sentinel park approach and network-scale reporting, and complements NESP-led data synthesis projects (SS2, D7, 1.3, 4.20 and 4.21).

The project redesigned two repeatable national surveys: a knowledge, attitudes and practice boat ramp survey targeting recreational fishers and non-fishers who use Australian Marine Parks, and a general public survey exploring broader community awareness, attitudes and views on management zones. Nine boat-ramp survey locations were selected with Parks Australia to support park- and network-scale estimates of recreational use covering the Coral Sea, and North, North-west, South-west, South-east and Temperate East networks.

The survey design and sampling regime provide a basis for assessing changes in awareness, attitudes and use patterns since the 2019/20 benchmark. Combined with natural values data, these outputs strengthen the Management Effectiveness system and support more integrated reporting on the social, economic and ecological values of Australian Marine Parks.

Outputs
 • Responses from recreational user surveys [dataset]. In accordance with National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research, only aggregated outputs will be made publicly available.
• Final technical report [written]

Tasmanian recreational abalone fishing data

Recreational abalone fishing data for the periods between 2002/03 to 2024/25 for eight assessment areas in Tasmania. The data includes estimated catch (in kilograms and numbers of abalone), estimated effort (in fishing days) and estimated catch rate (in number of abalone/fishing days). Both species, blacklip abalone (Haliotis rubra) and greenlip abalone (Haliotis laevigata) are targeted by the recreational fishers. 

The data was compiled from the Tasmanian Recreational Rock Lobster and Abalone Fisheries survey reports produced by IMAS.

The assessments are conducted using a survey involving a random sample of licence-holders who are contacted by telephone prior to the start of the fishing season and invited to participate in a phone-diary survey to monitor their abalone fishing activity between November and April.

Grey nurse shark potential aggregation sites (NESP MaC 4.15)

This dataset describes grey nurse shark (Carcharias taurus) listed, recognised and candidate aggregation sites in Australian waters, together with supporting individual acoustic-detection summaries from monitored aggregation sites. It consolidates previously documented site-level information on known, listed and candidate aggregation areas with time-series evidence of acoustically tagged shark detections.

The project reviewed existing information on grey nurse shark aggregation sites and developed a revised definition for assessing aggregation status. Under this definition, an aggregation site is a discrete area where multiple grey nurse sharks are observed on a regular or predictable basis and where one or more behavioural functions may be inferred, including migration, resting, reproduction, feeding or undefined aggregation. The project also collected new survey and monitoring evidence from selected areas of potential grey nurse shark use, including Barwon Banks and the Hards in Queensland, Outer Gibber Reef in the Hunter Marine Park, and potential habitat in Gippsland, Victoria. These newly surveyed areas were not classified as confirmed aggregation sites as further monitoring is required to assess whether they support regular or predictable use by multiple grey nurse sharks.

The data provided by this record include:
• Aggregation-site data: a consolidated table of listed, recognised and potential grey nurse shark aggregation sites and associated information.
• Individual detection data: collated acoustic telemetry detection summaries for tagged grey nurse sharks at monitored aggregation sites.

National Seismic Surveys 2D Reprocessed 2010/11 to 2022/23

This resource is a Spatial Representation of the boundaries of 2D Reprocessed Seismic Surveys (applying updated processing techniques to existing 2D seismic surveys). Data is derived from the National Offshore Petroleum Information Management System (NOPIMS).
https://nopims.dmp.wa.gov.au/Nopims/GISMap/Map 
While every effort is made to ensure that surveys are correctly located on the map, their location is only an aid to search and discovery of survey data. Proper submitted navigation/position data associated with the survey should be used to correctly locate a survey

Disclaimer
Surveys are spatially represented in NOPIMS by their post-plot navigation (i.e. actual survey data acquired and not the planned or pre-plot navigation).

3D surveys are spatially represented by their full fold data polygon (i.e. actual seismic data coverage), if this is not available the four sided binning polygon will be used instead. This means that the data coverage for a survey will most likely be less than its spatial representation.

2D surveys are spatially represented by "ends-and-bends" lines derived from the P1/90 processed navigation. For some older surveys, or where proper P1/90 navigation is not available, the survey lines are derived from digitized maps or other navigation data of unknown source, but verified against other available information.

NSW Environment Multi Beam Echo Sounder Gridded Data

Gridded multi-beam echousounder (MBES) bathymetry and backscatter data acquired using NSW government's (NSW Department of Climate Change Energy Environment and Water) multi-beam echosounder (MBES) systems aboard RV's Bombora, Seascan and Glaucus. Fieldwork surveys were completed as part of the SeabedNSW program funded by NSW government under State-wide Science (2022-30), Coastal Reforms (2015-2022), HabMap Program (2005-2015) or under collaboration with partner agencies or institutions (DPI, Parks Australia, NESP). Surveys are predominantly on the open coast and within NSW state waters (&lt;3NM) in priority areas as determined by the focus of source funding; i.e. Coastal Reforms surveys focused on providing 100% coverage for high priority Secondary Sediment Compartments; marine park mapping focused on Habitat Protection and Sanctuary zones. MBES data were obtained using semi-permanent installations of either a Geoswath 125 KHZ swath bathymetry system (2005-2017) or R2Sonic 2022 (&gt;2017) with Applanix Wavemaster POSMV (&gt;2011) providing positioning, height (RTK) and 3D motion solution; or Edgetech swath system w sidescan (&gt;2021). MBES was collected in GS+ (GeoAcoustics) or Hypack with attitude and positional data acquired in POSView and post processed using POSPac either Single-Base or Precise-Point-Positioning modules for improved vessel Smoothed Best Estimate of Trajectory. Data were cube modeled in Fledermaus/Qimera software (&gt;2010) to IHO 1B standard and cleaned-soundings exported before being gridded using bin-weighted averaging (generally 5 m grid cell size) relative to Australian Height Datum and issued in grid coordinates (UTM WGS84 Zone55 or 56; GDA2020 Zone 55 or 56). General details on vessel setup, mobilisation and processing are provided at https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/-/media/OEH/Corporate-Site/Documents/Research/Our-science-and-research/seabed-nsw-standard-operating-procedures-multibeam-surveying-190101.pdf with survey specific details in the Survey Report and survey Rigor Statement (provided upon request). Data packages provided via the Australian Oceanographic Data Network (https://portal.aodn.org.au/) include bathymetry and backscatter in multiple formats; while those provided on AusSeabed (https://portal.ga.gov.au/persona/marine) are gridded bathymetry and backscatter data as geotif only.

</li>
<li>

School information, such as addresses and contact details, are updated regularly as required, and are the most current source of information. 
</li>
<li>

Data is suppressed for indigenous and LBOTE percentages where student numbers are equal to, or less than five indicated by "np".  
</li>
<li>

NSSC out of scope schools will not have an enrolment figure.
</li>
<li>

NSSC and LBOTE figures are updated annually in December.
</li>
<li>

ICSEA values are updated every February with the previous year's ICSEA values. Small schools, SSPs and Senior Secondary schools do not have their ICSEA values published by ACARA.
</li>
<li>

Family Occupation and Educational Index (FOEI) is a school-level index of educational disadvantage. Data is extracted in May and values are updated annually in December.
</li>
<li>

Following the introduction of part-time study in secondary schools in 1993, student enrolments are generally reported in full-time equivalent units (FTE). The FTE for students studying less than 10 units, the minimum workload, is determined by the formula: 0.1 x the number of units studied and represented as a proportion of the full-time enrolment of 1.0 FTE.
