Data Trawler - Survey Details

FR 01/2002 (alternative identifier: FR200201)    - is a Marine National Facility voyage

Period: 2002-01-16 00:00 to 2002-02-06 00:00 Local

Duration: 21.00 days

From: Brisbane To: Cairns

Region: Coral Sea, Torres Strait, Gulf of Papua

Ship: Franklin [details]

Description: A zone of high tidal current energy across the northern margin of the Great Barrier Reef is hypothesised to be a cross-shelf corridor of sediment movement. It is proposed to conduct high resolution seabed mapping, seabed sampling and photography to identify mobile bed sediments and depositions. Key goals are to collect sufficient data to verify whether such cross-shelf transport is occurring, document benthic biological communities, collect sediment cores to extract a time series of cross-shelf terrigenous flux. The research is of relevance to environmental managers who require knowledge of the processes governing sediment dispersal and the distribution of biota in this environmentally sensitive and economically important geographic location.

Leader: Dr Peter Harris (AGSO)
