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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
A two-part seabed geomorphology classification scheme. Part 2: Geomorphology classification framework and glossary - Version 1.0.
(Zenodo, 2023)
Maps of seabed geomorphology provide foundational information for a broad range of marine applications. These maps rely on bathymetry data from which geomorphic units can be identified, supported by knowledge of the ...
