Chlorophyll a and Phaeophytin a data for surface seabed sediments in Jervis Bay, NSW (June and August 2008 and February 2009)

Geoscience Australia carried out marine surveys in Jervis Bay (NSW) in 2007, 2008 and 2009 (GA303, GA305, GA309, GA312) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through colocated sampling of surface sediments (for textural and biogeochemical analysis) and infauna, observation of benthic habitats using underwater towed video and stills photography, and measurement of ocean tides and wavegenerated currents. Data and samples were acquired using the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) Research Vessel Kimbla. Bathymetric mapping, sampling and tide/wave measurement were concentrated in a 3x5 km survey grid (named Darling Road Grid, DRG) within the southern part of the Jervis Bay, incorporating the bay entrance. Additional sampling and stills photography plus bathymetric mapping along transits was undertaken at representative habitat types outside the DRG. This 126 sample dataset comprises chlorophyll a and pheophytin a measurements on surface seabed sediments (~0 to 2 cm) from Jervis Bay. This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub.

RV Investigator Voyage IN2023_V06 ADCP Data

This record describes the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2023_V06, titled: "Understanding Eddy Interactions and Their Impacts in the East Australian Current System." The voyage took place between October 9, 2023 and November 2, 2023 (AEST), departing from Sydney and returning to Sydney.
This voyage focused on mesoscale eddies, the weather systems of the ocean, that move heat, salinity, and other tracers around. They impact the ocean, ecosystems, and climate. Much is unknown about how these eddies interact with each other or how they affect the environment. This study aims to learn more about eddy‐eddy interactions and their impact on the atmosphere, ocean, and marine life in the East Australian Current System. Satellite data will be combined with ADCP, EK60, drifter, ARGO, radiosonde, CTD and Triaxus data measurements to help improve forecasts and predictions of eddy interactions.
For more information please see the Processing Report (linked below).
This dataset was processed (quality-controlled), and then archived by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC).

AFMA catch and effort data for the Torres Strait Rock Lobster Fishery 1989-2013

This record describes AFMA catch and effort data for the Torres Strait Rock Lobster Fishery, held by CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. 
A number of commercial fisheries operate within the Torres Strait for which logbook data is collected by AFMA. The rock lobster fishery comprises multiple sectors from both Australia and PNG with the two Australian sectors being a Traditional Inhabitant (TIB) sector and a non-Traditional Inhabitant (TVH) commercial sector. Data for the two Australian sectors is collected by AFMA while data for the PNG component of the fishery is collected by PNG Fisheries authorities with an annual summary (total catch) passed to AFMA at the end of each season. Rock lobster catch data also exists for a trawl fishery which operated in the Torres Strait between 1980 and 1986. 
For the two Australian sectors of the Torres Strait rock lobster fishery, catch reporting is compulsory only in the TVH commercial sector via a logbook program. Reporting of commercial catch from the TIB sector is currently not compulsory and any data that is reported is done on a voluntary basis through processors via a docketbook program. The docketbook system was introduced in 2004 in an attempt to collect commercial catch data from TIB fishers when they sold their catch. The docketbook program has been generally accepted well by TIB fishers since its introduction but has a number of limitations. Although the docketbook program has been successful to some extent, there are significant difficulties with data accuracy and completeness. As the program is also voluntary, not all processors participate in the program or complete records for all sales.
