Description: Southern Surveyor Research Voyage SS2010_v04. Assessing oceanographic delivery of nutrients to Ningaloo Reef Part I : Autumn Dynamics Scientific Objectives Ningaloo Reef is Australias largest fringing coral reef and the basis of a major tourist industry. Though diverse and delicate, coral reefs (and the controls of their productivity) remain poorly understood. Understanding the interaction of the reef with the surrounding ocean is essential for predicting and managing the impacts of human and climate-induced changes, and therefore for the effective conservation of reefs. This proposal is part of a new initiative aimed at providing a scientific basis for determining the oceanographic distance beyond which industrial developments will not damage a reefs ecological processes. This analysis is essential for maintaining guiding sustainable development in the region. We will determine the seasonal differences in the productivity and delivery of nutrients and particles, by the Leeuwin (LC) and Ningaloo Currents (NC) on the continental shelf off Ningaloo Reef, WA, with special emphasis on identifying coastal upwelling mechanisms driving reef production. This work is part of a 3-year funded ARC project (Waite, Roughan, Pattiaratchi, Kotta) comparing reef-based uptake of nutrients from the surrounding ocean with the shelf oceanography delivering materials to the Ningaloo reef. We have applied for a second voyage in summer 2011/12 to complete the study. Taken from the ss2010_v04 Voyage Plan.
