Dataset: IMOS - AUV SIRIUS CAMPAIGN: TASMANIA, JUNE 2011


Description

Tasmania – Tasman Peninsula, Freycinet MPA and Governor’s Island (Barrett, Johnson):Dives in Tasmania were focused on two main goals. One aspect of the surveys in Tasmania is to look at deepwater benthic assemblages associated with rocky reefs. These dives featured broad grids over the dive sites and a pair of dense overlapping grids. Around the Tasman peninsula, dives were completed in shallower water and featured a pair of dense grids connected by reciprocal legs. Two sites near the Nuggets and in the Freycinet MPA were revisited from previous trips in 2008 and 2009. These were broad grids and did not feature any dense grids making direct comparison difficult.
