Imagery of opportunity: benthic habitat maps in deeper shelf waters (30-200 m)

Gabrielle H. Cummins, Kingsley J. Griffin, Claude Spencer, Samuel Thompson et autres

Benthic habitat data remain largely uncollected from deeper continental shelf waters due to prohibitive costs and limits of SCUBA. This study used images from horizontally facing cameras to map tropical, subtropical, and temperate benthic habitats in deeper continental shelf waters (>30 m) …

NESP MaC Project 4.20 - Delivery of science to support the implementation of a marine park management effectiveness system (CSIRO)

Piers Dunstan, Rowan Trebilco, Skipton Woolley, Beth Fulton et autres

Australian Marine Parks (AMPs) form one of the world’s largest marine park systems, protecting natural, cultural, social and economic values across Commonwealth waters. Parks Australia’s Management Effectiveness system supports adaptive management by assessing whether management arrangements are protecting park values and responding …

NESP MaC Project 4.21 - Assessing the condition of natural values within priority temperate Australian Marine Parks to evaluate management effectiveness (IMAS, UWA)

Jacquomo Monk, Tim Langlois, Neville Barrett, J Hulls et autres

Australian Marine Parks cover almost half of Australia’s Exclusive Economic Zone and are managed using an adaptive management framework that requires robust ecological data to assess the condition and trend of natural values. Standardised long-term monitoring is critical for evaluating management effectiveness, …

NESP MaC Project 5.6 - Synthesis of environmental values to support the review of Australian Marine Park management plans (IMAS)

Jacquomo Monk, Vanessa Lucieer, Piers Dunstan, Skipton Woolley et autres

Parks Australia (Australian Government) manage 60 Australian Marine Parks (AMPs) around the country, covering an area of 3.8 million square kilometres, or 43% of all Australian waters. The approach to managing AMPs is set out in eight Management Plans, one for each …

CheckEM : An open‐source toolkit for standardising, cleaning and visualising stereo‐video fish survey data

Brooke Gibbons, Claude Spencer, Jordan S. Goetze, Dianne McLean et autres

Abstract Effective research and monitoring requires accurate, interoperable and representative data. Stereo‐video based methods are commonly used to survey fish and are rapidly expanding globally due to their cost‐effectiveness, ability to provide accurate body size measurements, non‐destructive approach and capacity to create …

Effectiveness of a deep water fully protected marine reserve five years after establishment

John K. Keesing, Logan Hellmrich, D. C. Church, Cindy Bessey et autres

Mesophotic coral reef habitats and their associated fish assemblages are underrepresented in marine protected areas world-wide. The effectiveness of a mesophotic, fully-protected marine sanctuary in the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area was assessed 5 years after establishment by surveying fish assemblages. Overall …

Investigating Fish‐Habitat Associations on Mesophotic Reefs Using Stereo‐ BRUVS

Molly Gerrans, Timothy J. Langlois, Claude Spencer, Brooke Gibbons et autres

ABSTRACT Fish‐habitat associations are fundamental ecological relationships characterising marine community assembly. The strength of fish‐habitat associations can be indicative of ecosystem resilience, making them important benchmarks for ecological monitoring. These relationships are relatively unknown in mesophotic (30–150 m) marine systems due to …

Benthic Observation Survey System ( BOSS ) for surveys of marine benthic habitats

Tim Langlois, Claude Spencer, Brooke Gibbons, Kingsley J. Griffin et autres

Abstract Most platforms for collecting images to characterise marine benthic habitats involve a downward or forward‐facing field of view that is relatively constrained (~70°), covering a relatively small area of benthos (downward ~1 m 2 , forward ~25 m 2 ). Here …

Disconnect between settlement and fishery recruitment driven by decadal changes in nearshore habitats

Stanley Mastrantonis, Simon de Lestang, Tim Langlois, Ben Radford et autres

Submerged vegetation is critical to marine ecosystems and can function as recruitment habitats for commercially targeted species, such as the highly valuable Western Rock Lobster Panulirus cygnus. The development of vegetation indices for marine remote sensing has made tracking the extent and …
