Fast Repetition Rate Fluorometry (FRRF) data collected on the RV L'Astrolabe

Maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII), also called maximum quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm), has become one of the most widely utilized fluorescence parameters in phytoplankton research. It represents the potential photochemical efficiency, which is the probability that the light energy captured by the photosynthetic apparatus is being utilized as photochemistry. Fv/Fm has been shown to have an instant response to variations in physical and chemical properties and is interpreted as a diagnostic of the overall health or competence of phytoplankton. Together with the absorption cross section area of PSII and chlorophyll concentration, it can be used to measure primary production (Cheah et al. 2011, Deep Sea Research).

Seawater from 3 m depth was supplied continuously from the ship’s clean seawater line. FRR fluorescence yields were measured continuously at 1 minute intervals in dark-adapted state (! 15 minutes dark-adaptation) using a flash sequence consisting of a series of 100 subsaturation flashlets (1.1 μs flash duration and 2.8 μs interflash period) and a series of 20 relaxation flashlets (1.1 μs flash duration and 51.6 μs interflash period).

NESP MaC Project 4.10 - De-risking nature repair activities in Australian coastal and marine ecosystems, 2024-2026 (CSIRO, JCU, Uni of Melbourne)

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub Research Plan 2024 project "De-risking nature repair activities in Australian coastal and marine ecosystems". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.

Coastal and marine ecosystems provide shoreline protection, water quality improvement, biodiversity habitat, tourism, carbon storage, and cultural values. In Australia, many of these systems have been degraded, while national and international commitments are increasing the need to scale up restoration and nature-based solutions (“nature repair”) in a coordinated and evidence-based way.

This project supported coastal and marine nature repair at scales relevant to national biodiversity and climate commitments by updating national stocktakes, compiling an evidence base, and scoping a coordinated framework for future investment and delivery. Existing databases, including the Australian Coastal Restoration Network and Living Shorelines Australia, were updated to improve information on restoration location, habitat type, intervention approach and outcomes.

Evidence on effectiveness, risks and success measures was compiled across ecological, engineering, environmental, legal/governance, socio-economic, Indigenous and regional case-study themes. Engagement with DCCEEW, state governments, non-profit agencies, Indigenous communities, researchers and practitioners informed a forward-looking framework covering objectives, site and action selection, risks and liabilities, decision-support tools, technical guidance, monitoring and evaluation, and Indigenous co-design and leadership.

The project outputs provide a framework to assist managers, funders and practitioners to understand where restoration has occurred, what approaches have been used, what risks need to be managed, and what evidence is available to guide future investment. This supports more coordinated planning and delivery of coastal and marine nature repair, including activities linked to blue carbon, biodiversity protection, and emerging nature repair markets.

Outputs
• Updates to Australian Coastal Restoration Network database, and the Living Shorelines Australia database [dataset]
• Draft national framework for coordinated nature repair [written]
• Final project report [written]

IMOS - National Reef Monitoring Network Sub-Facility - Site information

The National Reef Monitoring Network brings together shallow reef surveys conducted around Australia into a centralised database. The IMOS National Reef Monitoring Network sub-Facility collates, cleans, stores and makes this data rapidly available from contributors including: Reef Life Survey, Parks Australia, Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (Western Australia), Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (South Australia), Department of Primary Industries (New South Wales), Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service and Parks Victoria.

The data provided by the National Reef Monitoring Network contributes to establishing and supporting national marine baselines, and assisting with the management of Commonwealth and State marine reserves. 

Reef Life Survey (RLS) and the Australian Temperate Reef Network (ATRC) aims to improve biodiversity conservation and the sustainable management of marine resources by coordinating surveys of rocky and coral reefs using scientific methods, with the ultimate goal to improve coastal stewardship. Our activities depend on the skills of marine scientists, experienced and motivated recreational SCUBA divers, partnerships with management agencies and university researchers, and active input from the ATRC partners and RLS Advisory Committee.

RLS and ATRC data are freely available to the public for non-profit purposes, so not only managers, but also groups such as local dive clubs or schools may use these data to look at changes over time in their own local reefs. By making data freely available and through public outputs, RLS and ATRC aims to raise broader community awareness of the status of Australia's marine biodiversity and associated conservation issues.

This dataset shows the locations of Reef Life Survey (RLS) and Australian Reef Collaboration Network (ATRC) sites on shallow rocky and coral reefs, worldwide. Multiple transects (surveys) are usually surveyed within sites on any given date. Sites traditionally need a minimum of 200 m separation to be classified as a different site, unless separated by a significant geological feature or reef habitat discontinuity.

Australian Search and Rescue Region: Vessel Tracking - Aggregated data product (2012 - ongoing) (NESP MaC 5.9, IMOS)

The vessel tracking data in this product originates from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority’s (AMSA) Craft Tracking System (CTS) and Mariweb databases. These systems collect Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals from ships using both terrestrial and satellite receivers. AIS data from these sources, covering the period from September 2012 to the most recently completed month, provides vessel position reports across the entire Australian Search and Rescue Region. This extensive spatial footprint captures vessel traffic across major international shipping lanes, coastal navigation corridors, fishing grounds and offshore resource extraction areas. Each record represents a single vessel position defined by geographic coordinates and the time of transmission in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

To create a consistent and usable dataset, the monthly AMSA vessel tracking files have been processed and standardised into a set of single annual datasets. This processing includes ingesting the source Shapefiles from AMSA’s operational data service, cleaning and validating the vessel position reports, converting timestamps to UTC, applying H3 spatial indexing (resolution 4, ~1,700 km2), and ensuring all records follow a uniform data schema. Any invalid or duplicate reports identified during this workflow are separated into a dedicated rejected records dataset. The resulting product is a harmonised, reliable, and reproducible record of vessel movements throughout the Australian Search and Rescue Region over more than a decade.
