Data Trawler - Survey Details

SS 03/2005 (alternative identifier: SS200503)    - is a Marine National Facility voyage

Period: 2005-02-23 03:30 to 2005-03-21 00:00 UTC

Duration: 25.85 days

From: Cairns To: Weipa

Region: Queensland Coast, Gulf of Carpentaria.

Ship: Southern Surveyor [details]

Description: Southern Surveyor voyage 3/2005 was conducted in the Gulf of Carpentaria during February and March 2005, to undertake Biogeophysical characterization of northern Australia marine ecosystems: assessing biophysical relations, ecosystem biodiversity, and surrogacy.
There will be 60 sampling stations. Each station will be sampled twice-once in the day and once in the night. The stations will be distributed among trawling intensity strata within two or three key habitat types. At each sampling station we will
(a) sample biota with a prawn sampling net and epibenthic sled,
(b) collect surface sediment box core and grab samples,
(c) collect water samples,
(d) deploy an underwater video camera system,
(e) measure water properties with a CTD/turbidity meter, and
(f) measure water and sediment flux with a current meter instrument frame.
