      1. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), which collect images of marine habitats, are now an established sampling tool. The use of AUVs is becoming more widespread as they offer a non-destructive method to survey substantial ...
    • CATAMI classification scheme for scoring marine biota and sub-strata in underwater imagery. Version 1.4. 

      CATAMI Technical Working Group (National Environmental Research Program, Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2014)
      Transforming raw underwater imagery into quantitative information useful for science and policy decisions requires substantial manual effort by human experts. This process will soon become unsustainable as the volume of ...
    • Comparison of sampling methods to assess benthic marine biodiversity. Are spatial and ecological relationships consistent among sampling gear? 

      Flannery, Emma; Przeslawski, Rachel (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 ...

      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 ...
    • A Suite of Field Manuals for Marine Sampling to Monitor Australian Waters. 

      Przeslawski, Rachel; Foster, Scott; Monk, Jacquomo; Barrett, Neville; Bouchet, Phil; Carroll, Andrew; Langlois, Tim; Lucieer, Vanessa; Williams, Joel; Bax, Nicholas (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 ...
    • Data Discoverability and Accessibility Report from July 2019 Workshop on Marine Imagery. 

      Przeslawski, Rachel; Barrett, Neville; Bax, Narissa; Carroll, Andrew; Foster, Scott; Heupel, Michelle; Jansen, Jan; Langlois, Tim; Moltmann, Tim; Pocklington, Jacqui; Stuart-Smith, Rick; Wyatt, Mat (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. 

      Przeslawski, Rachel; Bodrossy, Lev; Carroll, Andrew; Cheal, Alistair; Depczynski, Martial; Foster, Scott; Hardesty, Britta Denise; Hedge, Paul; Langlois, Tim; Lara-Lopez, Ana; Lepastrier, Aero; Mancini, Sebastien; Miller, Karen; Monk, Jacquomo; Navarro, Matt; Nichol, Scott; Sagar, Stephen; Stuart-Smith, Rick; van de Kamp, Jodie; Williams, Joel (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. 

      Przeslawski, Rachel; Falkner, Inke; Foster, Scott; Mancini, Seb; Bainbridge, Scott; Bax, Narissa; Carroll, Andrew; Flukes, Emma; Gonzalez-Riviero, Manuel; Langlois, Tim; Moore, Kirrily; Rehbein, Mark; Tattersall, Katherine; Watts, Dave; Williams, Alan; Wyatt, Mathew (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 ...
    • Our Knowledge Our Way in caring for Country: Indigenous-led approaches to strengthening and sharing our knowledge for land and sea management. Best Practice Guidelines from Australian Experiences.
