| Description: | The expected outcome of this project is to bring together the hardware and software needed for an on-vessel seabird detector that will provide a running count of seabirds seen by a fixed camera over the course of a day on a sea-going vessel. Successful development of such a system will be the first step in providing more comprehensive and detailed baseline environmental data, at a fraction of the cost. |

| IN2024_V03 [details] |
Little (CSIRO) | This project will repeat surveys to document changes and establish a new biological and environmental baseline to help answer three broad questions: 1. How and why have fish assemblages and species abundances changed in the southeast ecosystem, and can the causes be mitigated? 2. How does this affect the multiple-use management of the region, particularly conservation and biodiversity management of Australian Marine Parks and the hive of activity from fisheries, oil & gas, and renewable energy sectors? 3. What are the implications for marine spatial planning and adaptive management in the sectors that use the marine ecosystem? It is also testing new monitoring techniques: 1. To measure fish presence and abundance using eDNA two sampling approaches, and how they compare to conventional sampling approaches. 2. To detect and count seabirds using deck mounted video camera. IN2024_V03 is the second of four monitoring surveys planned to help answer the above questions. |
