AusSeabed Community Guidelines: Satellite Derived Bathymetry
(AusSeabed, Canberra, Australia, 2022)The Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) guidelines are intended to provide users of SDB sourced from the AusSeabed portal with the required knowledge to appropriately use SDB datasets. This is not a guide on how to produce ... -
CATAMI classification scheme for scoring marine biota and sub-strata in underwater imagery. Version 1.4.
(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 ... -
Choosing between strategies for designing surveys: autonomous underwater vehicles.
(2014)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 ... -
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 ... -
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.
(NAILSMA and CSIRO, Cairns, Australia, 2020)These Guidelines are a key output from a project of the Australian Government’s National Environmental Science Program (NESP), Northern Australia Environmental Resources (NAER) Hub, titled Knowledge Brokering for Indigenous ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
