WAMSI Node 3.2.3 - Biodiversity Assessment, Ecosystem Impacts of Human Usage and Management Strategy Evaluation

This project was developed for the Ningaloo Research Program (NRP) to explore the effects of managing recreational fishing, which is perhaps the most important extractive activities in the Ningaloo Marine Park. The project used simulation techniques known as Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE) to explore the consequences of a range of management actions, under a series of alternative future scenarios on the management of a major target species on Ningaloo Reef, spangled emperor (Lethrinus nebulosus). The results of the scenarios are examined against the objectives set out by management and other stakeholders in the park.
A simulation model, known as ELFSim, was used. ELFSim is a decision support software system designed to evaluate options for conservation and harvest management, and includes a number of key components: a population dynamics model of target species that captures the full life history (including larval dispersal, reproduction, development, and habits) of the target species, a model of fishing dynamics that captures the exploitation pattern due to fishing behaviour, a management model that simulates the implementation of management actions. ELFSim was developed for other coral reef fisheries where commercial fishing was the primary fishing activity, and in this sought to develop a simulation model of recreational fishing dynamics. 
This model was agent-based, meaning that individual recreational fishing boats were represented in the model, and a range of management measures were tested on the ability to manage these virtual recreational fishers. These management measures, derived from stakeholder workshops include the effect of increasing the no take sanctuary zones, and restricting the fishing in sanctuary zones that occurs from shore. The effectiveness of these management actions in the simulation model was measured against the management objectives of the stakeholders.
Management objectives were classified according to ecological (conservation) objectives, or social and economic objectives. The results showed that the current management arrangement perform adequately against the range of ecological and social objectives. However, for other management actions, the results showed the inherent trade-off that exists between the ecological objective and the social objectives.

WAMSI Node 1.1.3 - Shelf scale primary production and nutrient uptake dynamics (SS200704)

In May 2007 (the beginning of the seasonal increase in chlorophyll a concentration) we investigated the spatial distribution of primary production. C13 uptake was determined on 12 cross-shelf transects between 22.5S and 34S. On each transect, three stations (50m, 300m and 2000m depth) were sampled for primary production. In addition we sampled 3 additional stations across an eddy.

WAMSI 2 - Kimberley Node - Project 1.2.1b - Monitoring of Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) at Pender Bay, southern Kimberley region

Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) migrate annually along the coast of Western Australia (WA) from their summer Antarctic feeding grounds to warm tropical waters in the Kimberley for breeding.  
Given the remote nature of the Kimberley marine environment and the very large range of humpback whales across known breeding and resting areas, it can be difficult to gather sufficient data to assess their distribution and to monitor population health.  A four year project underway at Two Moons Whale and Marine Research Base at Pender Bay, WA (McKay and Thiele 2008, Blake and Dapson 2011) offered an opportunity to assess the value of using a land based site manned by volunteers as a cost effective means of gathering suitable data.  The purpose of this project was to evaluate the data collection methods used at this research station, extend data collection for an additional year and evaluate the 5 year dataset to understand humpback whale use of Pender Bay.
Data collection included counts of all humpback whale groups (noting size and presence of calves) observed at 20 minute intervals from a cliff top viewing platform.  Additional information was recorded on environmental variables (tide, sea state, weather) and the presence of vessels.  These data were evaluated to assess the timing of the migration season, including peak in the number of individuals and the number of calves across the season and the distribution of whales within the Bay and adjacent waters.
Overall a total of 3,695 groups of whales (5,521 individuals) were sighted over the 88 days when observations took place throughout the season.  Calves were observed in 187 of these groups. While the peak in number of groups with calves occurred in mid August to September, there was a higher proportion of groups with calves early in the season.

WAMSI 2 - Dredging Node - Theme 8 - Effects of dredging related pressures on critical ecological processes for finfish

Theme 8 was conducted in 2 phases - Project 8.1 and 8.2.  
The objective of Project 8.1 was to review existing literature on the impacts of dredging on critical environmental windows of finfish in both tropical and temperate areas using the steps outlined below:
• identify critical ecological processes (such as spawning, recruitment and early post- recruitment growth) and associated environmental windows;
• identify pressure parameters and the intensity associated with dredging;
• assess likely sensitivities/tolerances of the ecological processes and windows to dredge related
activities; and
• provide recommendations on key areas of concern and potential mitigation.
The objective of Project 8.2 was to assess the information presented in the literature review and to identify (by a workshop) gaps in the knowledge and highlight priority areas for future laboratory/field experiments.

WAMSI Node 4.2.1a - Bioregional level assessments based on fishery dependent and/or fishery independent data - Leschenault Estuary

The Leschenault Estuary was divided into four regions; the apex, upper, middle and lower regions.  Within each region four sites were sampled seasonally (except the middle region where there were four additional crab potting sites) over two years (total of 8 sampling occasions). At each site, sampling of fish was conducted using seine nets with length and weight of all collected fish measured. In addition, water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen were measured at each site.   The aim of the study is to develop cost-effective strategies for monitoring the fish community.

WAMSI Node 4.2.4 - Demersal fish assemblage sampling method comparison and power analyses - Abrolhos

The sub-tropical Houtman Abrolhos Islands and associated reefs are located approximately 60 km offshore from the mid-west coast of Western Australia on the edge of the continental shelf between 28˚15’S and 29˚S. The Houtman Abrolhos comprise three main island groups that span approximately 100 km in a north-south direction. From south to north they are the Pelsaert, Easter and Wallabi groups. 
From late May to early June 2007, stereo-video surveys were conducted at three sites within each island group). This data was used with data from Ningaloo and Abrolhos regions in a larger study that compared the assemblage composition, relative abundance and size of fishes sampled using Baited remote underwater stereo-video (stereo BRUV) and Diver-operated stereo-video systems (stereo DOV).

WABI Subset: Eastern Goldfields

This index has been compiled by Mrs T. Thompson of Kalgoorlie from the following cemeteries and cemetery records: 

Old Boulder - Anglican Section of the Cemetery  Board Register 224 names
Headstones all denominations 41 names
Roman Catholic 189 names 
Baptist 12 names 
Presbyterian 69 names
Church of Christ 9 names
General 6 names
Methodist section 290 names
Bulong Headstones 19 names
Kanowna Cemetery Board Register
Ora Banda Cemetery 
Siberia Cemetery.

Entry into the index is by name of person being buried and information given is what appears on the headstone or what is transcribed in the burial register. This can include age; relatives eg: parents, wives, husbands, children; date of death,  where lived (from headstone) plus denomination, Officiating clergyman, date of burial, name of Undertaker, residence of friends (if known), remarks (if any), grave number section and subsection (from Register).
The Western Australian Biographical Index (WABI) is a highly used resource at the State Library of Western Australia. A recent generous contribution by the Friends of Battye Library (FOBS) has enabled SLWA to have the original handwritten index cards scanned and later transcribed.
The dataset contains: a csv file with data describing card number, card text and url link to image of the original handwritten card.  
The transcription was crowd-sourced and we are aware that there are some data quality issues including:

Some cards are missing
Transcripts are crowdsourced so may contain spelling errors and possibly missing information
Some cards are crossed out. Some of these are included in the collection and some are not
Some of the cards contain relevant information on the back (usually children of the person mentioned). This info should be on the next consecutive card
As the information is an index, collected in the 1970s from print material, it is incomplete. It is also unreferenced.

It is still a very valuable dataset as it contains a wealth of information about early settlers in Western Australia. It is of particular interest to genealogists and historians

Christmas Island Crazy Ant Grid

The Crazy Ants shapefile was built from National Parks’ working database file as at December 2001. This data contains observation data made by Parks employees during their research of the crazy ant colonies on Christmas Island in 2001. 
Each of the points represents a surveyed crazy ant site in 2001.  Using field methods (e.g. number of ants running across a sheet of paper), Parks employees estimated the concentration of ants at each site. The results were then represented as total ants and incorporated into the shapefile ‘crazyant_grid.shp’. 
In September 2003, Geoscience Australia projected the Crazy Ants shapefiles to the MGA (GDA94) projection using an XY shift (X=550015, Y=8780001).
