SS 10/2005     - is a Marine National Facility voyage

Period:- 2005-11-18 to 2005-12-14

From: Fremantle To: Dampier

Region: Western Australian Coastal Waters

Ship :- Southern Surveyor [details]

Project:- WFO - Characterisation and inventory of benthic ecosystems of the South Western Region using optimised mapping techniques [details]

Description:-

Southern Surveyor research voyage SS200510.
Dr Alan Williams (Chief Scientist, Leg 1), Mr Rudy Kloser (Chief Scientist, Leg 2)

The aims of the project are:
1) to apply targeted field-based observation to develop, test, refine and validate multiple use management frameworks developed for the SW Region as part of Regional Marine Planning under Australias Oceans Policy
2) explore and characterise marine ecosystems of the SW Region.

Voyage Objectives
At depths of 100 m, 200 m, 400 m, 700 m and 1000 m on transects in
focus areas, and 100 m and 400 m at latitude sites, sampling will:
1. Collect benthic invertebrate epifauna and infauna using benthic sleds
2. Fill gaps in the sediment sampling program from SS0705
3. Fill gaps in the swath mapping program from SS0705
