A.Williams (CSIRO) | Exploring and characterising marine ecosystems of the NW Region Characterising the benthic biogeography of the deep continental shelf and slope in Australia's "North West Region", with emphasis on the processess maintaining (and threatening) biodiversity, and support for implementing the NW Regional Marine Plan and Commonwealth Marine Protected Areas. Voyage split into three legs - Dampier to Broome, Broome to Brrome, Broome to Darwin. Voyage Objectives At depths of 100m, 200m, 400m, 700m and 1000m on transects in focus areas, and at 'standard' 100m and 400m sites spaced at approx 60n.m intervals, sampling will: |

A. Williams (CSIRO) | Tasmanian Seamounts (Leg 2). Survey and monitoring for SE MPA's (proposed Huon and Tasman Fracture) including the Tasman Seamounts Marine Reserve. Leg 2. Allan Williams (CSIRO). Survey to support SER Estate inventory and management performance assessment by providing interpreted benthic habitat maps, faunal inventories and documented conservation values in scientific reference sites from selected MPA areas in the SER Estate. The overall voyage objectives of leg 1 (SS11/20060 and leg 2 (SS02/2007) are to:
Equipment used on this voyage: CMAR deep towed video system, CMAR shallow towed video system, 35mm Photosea camera system, Sonardyne USBL tracking system, multifrequency acoustic pod, sherman and beam sleds. |

A. Williams (CSIRO) | Survey and monitoring for SE MPA's (proposed Huon and Tasman Fracture) including the Tasman Seamounts Marine Reserve. Leg 1. Allan Williams (CSIRO). Survey to support SER Estate inventory and management performance assessment. Interpretated benthic habitat maps, faunal inventories and documented conservation values in scientific reference sites from selected MPA areas in the SER Estate are provided. Acoustic swath data from Simrad EM300 used to identify sea bed habitat types. Ground truth maps by opportunistic sediment grabs, rock sled, epibenthic sleds and CMR SVS or MVS camera platform. Trap sets and LADCP casts were planned. Biological inventories at various scales of taxonomic resolution obtained by collection and curation of benthic invertibrates. |
