A Suite of Field Manuals for Marine Sampling to Monitor Australian Waters.
(2019)
One of the main challenges in assessing marine biodiversity is the lack of consistent
approaches to monitor it. This threatens to undermine ocean best practice in marine
monitoring, as it impedes a reduction in the bias ...
Comparison of sampling methods to assess benthic marine biodiversity. Are spatial and ecological relationships consistent among sampling gear?
(Geoscience Australia, Canberra, Australia, 2015)
Marine benthic biodiversity can be measured using a range of sampling methods, including benthic
sleds or trawls, grabs, and imaging systems, each of which targets a particular community or habitat.
Due to the high cost ...
A Standardised Vocabulary for Identifying Benthic Biota and Substrata from Underwater Imagery: The CATAMI Classification Scheme.
(2015)
Imagery collected by still and video cameras is an increasingly important tool for minimal
impact, repeatable observations in the marine environment. Data generated from imagery
includes identification, annotation and ...
Impact and Outcomes of Marine Sampling Best Practices.
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2021)
In 2017, the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub committed to developing field manuals for selected marine sampling platforms to ensure that data collected at different times and places across Australia are directly comparable. ...
Data Discoverability and Accessibility Report from July 2019 Workshop on Marine Imagery.
(Geoscience Australia, Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2019)
There are increasing incentives for marine researchers to share their data, but the will of the marine community to share data has often not yet caught up with our capabilities. Marine imagery and associated annotation, ...
Scoping of new field manuals for marine sampling in Australian waters. Report to the National Environmental Science Programme.
(Geoscience Australia, Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2019)
A suite of field manuals was released by the NESP Marine Hub in early 2018 to facilitate a national monitoring framework, with a focus on seven marine sampling platforms: multibeam sonar, autonomous underwater vehicles, ...
Data discoverability and accessibility Report from workshops on marine imagery and biological specimen data, September 2018.
(Geoscience Australia, Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra Australia, 2019)
As the rate of marine data acquisition increases, so too does the need for that data to abide by the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles. From the nation’s perspective, a coherent and assessable ...
Developing Ocean Best Practices in Australia. [Video]
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2021)
Ocean best practices are increasingly recognised as a way to facilitate the collection and use of quality, comparable and collatable data. International efforts have focussed on criteria of what should be elevated to a ...
Developing an ocean best practice: a case study of marine sampling practices from Australia.
(2023)
Since 2012, there has been a surge in the numbers of marine science publications that use the term ‘best practice’, yet the term is not often defined, nor is the process behind the best practice development described. ...
Comparative assessment of seafloor sampling platforms.
(Geoscience Australia, Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2018)
The Australian Marine Parks are the largest network of marine protected areas in the world, and their establishment means that Australia is now tasked with managing an area almost 3.3 million km2. In addition, Australia ...
