Improved knowledge of Torres Strait seabed biota and habitats - Reef Characterisation (1995 - 2005)

CMAR has conducted a number of stock assessment surveys for finfish, beche-de-mer and trochus on the reefs of Torres Strait. During the course of the suveys, habitat data was also collected albeit at a coarser level of taxonomic resolution. The primary objective of this study was to characterise the reefs of Torres Strait in terms of the biological and habitat data collected during these surveys and to relate the nature of the reefs to the available physical data. Information collated for this study included comprehensive datasets on reef fish, beche-de-mer and seagrass; most of which was identified to species level. Information on corals and algae was based on visual estimates of percentage cover morphotypes. Little data on the other reef biota was collected.

SRFME: South West Capes Algal Biomass 2003-2005

Algal biomass in the Geographe Bay region were identified from quadrat surveys on Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leauwin reefs, as part of the SRFME research program. The aim of the SRFME Coastal project is to characterize the coastal benthic ecosystems of southwestern WA, with particular focus on benthic reef cosystems, their productivity and dynamics, and the physical, chemical and biological factors driving variability along dominant spatial and temporal scales. To achieve this, we undertook 3-monthly seasonal sampling from 2003-2005 at a series of coastal sites situated between Cape Naturaliste in the south and Jurien Bay in the north. Benthic Sampling was integrated with satellite observations of SST, ocean colour and subsurface measurements of other water column properties, as well as sediment biogeochemical sampling. Within this region benthic sampling was nested at Regional (100s km), Local (10s km) and Site (1 km) scales and within each of the regions additional sites were sampled to incorporate site scale variability along cross-shore gradients.

CSIRO GASLAB - CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Analysis datasets - Global Atmospheric Sampling Laboratory - Flask Sampling Network

The CSIRO Global Atmospheric Sampling Laboratory (GASLAB) Flask Sampling Network archive for the atmospheric trace gas carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. GASLAB principally analyzes air samples that have been captured at eleven fixed geographic sites and one moving (aircraft over bass strait and Cape Grim), but also includes other sites at various locations globally on a less regular or as needed basis. The flask air sample is analyzed for the 5 atmospheric trace gases Methane (CH4), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrogen (H2) and N2O (Nitrous Oxide). Data about the relative concentrations of these are particularly important for Global Warming studies as CO2 and CH4 are the two most effective anthropogenic greenhouse gases; CO and H2 influencing concentrations of the hydroxyl radical (OH), thereby affecting the main sink for atmospheric CH4. H2 is produced in a sequence of reactions following the reaction of OH with CH4. Measurements of CO2 concentrations are made through the use of a Carle gas chromatograph (Carle-3 C3) with flame ionisation detection (FID) (after methanization of CO2 to CH4). There are 6 differant types of flask that are used to store and transport air samples from site and in the labratory:(i) glass 0.5 litre ("G050"), (ii) glass 5.0 litre ("G500"), (iii) glass 0.8 litre ("G080"), (iv) electropolished stainless steel 1.6 litre "Sirocans" ("S160"), (v) glass 2.0 litre, 1 stopcopck ("F", "FF", "FA", "FE", "EP", ALT"), (vi) glass 2.0 litre, 2 stopcocks(&#8220;M1&#8221;, &#8220;S&#8221;, &#8220;P2&#8221;, &#8220;TEMP&#8221;). Files containing a single species value for each sample are denoted by a filename of the form (XXX_XXXX_event.XXX), for the geographically fixed sites data is also provided in the form of monthly means (e.g. XXX_XXXX_mm.XXX) with all fies being in ascii format.

Coral Reef Health Broadscale Survey - Reef Benthic Survey 2013 - 2015

Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) coral reef survey of benthic cover, between northern Ningaloo and the Dampier Archipelago.
The data include:
* Benthic Photographs
* Digital still images of benthos taken along transects
* Benthic cover database
* Cover (%) of  benthic life forms on 25m transects, derived from point intercept data taken from transect images. 

The Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) was an initiative designed to enhance the net conservation benefits of the globally-significant coral reef ecosystems of the Pilbara (Western Australia) by providing an assessment of the condition and trajectory of key ecological values. These assessments were designed to inform and complement existing governance and management arrangements and the PMCP is intended to provide ongoing advice and assessment for conservation efforts in the region, providing lasting benefits.
The PMCP concept is based on three core ecological components, namely:
Coral Reef Health - concentrating mainly on habitat forming primary producers.
Fish and Sharks - their community structure, interactions and impacts on lower trophic levels.
Environmental Pressures - physical and anthropogenic factors that influence the condition of reefs and associated biota.

The voyage took place between June 5 and June 18, 2023 departing from Hobart (TAS) and returning to Hobart.
Data for 10 CTD deployments were acquired using the Sea‐Bird SBE9+V2 CTD unit #24 (S/N 1332), fitted with 36 twelve‐litre bottles on the rosette sampler. Sea‐Bird‐supplied calibration factors were used to compute the pressures and preliminary conductivity values. CSIRO‐supplied calibrations were applied to the temperature data. The data were subjected to automated QC to remove spikes and out‐of‐range values. 
The final conductivity calibration was based on a single deployment grouping. The final calibration from the secondary sensor had a standard deviation (SD) of 0.0010067 PSU, well within our target of ‘better than 0.002 PSU’. The standard product of 1‐decibar binned averages were produced using data from the secondary sensors.
The dissolved oxygen data calibration fit had a SD of 0.92376 μM. The agreement between the CTD and bottle data was good.
The collected data were subsequently processed (quality-controlled), and archived by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC). Additional information regarding this dataset may be contained in the Voyage Summary and the CTD Data Processing Report.

Data and samples were acquired using the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) Research Vessel Solander. Bathymetric mapping, sampling and video transects were completed in three survey areas that extended seaward from Ningaloo Reef to the shelf edge, including: Mandu Creek (80 sq km); Point Cloates (281 sq km), and; Gnaraloo (321 sq km). Additional bathymetric mapping (but no sampling or video) was completed between Mandu creek and Point Cloates, covering 277 sq km and north of Mandu Creek, covering 79 sq km. Two oceanographic moorings were deployed in the Point Cloates survey area. The survey also mapped and sampled an area to the northeast of the Muiron Islands covering 52 sq km.
