The evidence base, not the vibes.

Scientific research within the Australian Marine Parks (AMPs) is critical to support the aims of the management plans, including improving knowledge, understanding of conservation values and the pressures on those values. In order to help Parks Australia consider the impacts and risks of different types of scientific sampling within Australian Marine Parks, a project team at CSIRO created a col

Parks Australia commissioned the CSIRO to undertake a survey of selected marine and terrestrial environmental values at Ashmore Reef Marine Park. The field work was undertaken on two trips, 1– 6 May and 14- 22 June 2019. This report presents the findings of that work. For the terrestrial component, the required elements were to quantify the diversity and abundance of native and non-native plant

This collection includes conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profiles obtained at the National Reference Stations (NRS) as part of the water sampling program. The instruments used also measure dissolved oxygen, fluorescence, and turbidity. The collection also includes practical salinity, water density and artificial chlorophyll concentration, as computed from the measured properties. The data are

The data describes number of vessels, engine power, gross tonnage and fishing effort by year (1950-2017), targeted functional group, and fishing gear. Fishing effort estimates were derived from country-level fishing fleet capacity data publicly available, following the method described in Rousseau et al (2019; https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1820344116) and methods improvement reported in Rousseau et

This dataset was developed to support the training and validation of colony-level artificial intelligence (AI) models for assessing coral bleaching severity on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The research is important because it enables automated, standardized estimation of bleaching impacts while maintaining compatibility with historic in-water coral bleaching survey methods. The data were collecte

This dataset supports the co-development of culturally informed and scientifically robust Indigenous-led coral reef monitoring in Kemer Kemer Meriam Nation, eastern Torres Strait, Australia. The data were collected to establish baseline information on coral reef habitat condition, compare the effectiveness of emerging image-based monitoring technologies, and identify monitoring approaches that ali

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub small-scale study - "Towards a consolidated and open-science framework for restoration monitoring". No data outputs were generated by this project. Coastal habitat restoration is scaling up rapidly in Australia and covers a range of diverse ecosystems including oyster reefs, seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, kelp forests, and s

Larval fishes are a useful metric of marine ecosystem state and change, as well as species-specific patterns in phenology. This information sheds light on larval distribution and spawning for fisheries management needs. This dataset includes larval fish abundances collected from 12 voyages around Australia since 1983, as well as more recent data from the Marine National Facility (MNF). The backbon

A total of 111 estuaries of moderate or large size were recognised around Tasmania and associated Bass Strait islands. The catchments of these estuaries were mapped using GIS, and available data on geomorphology, geology, hydrology and rainfall collated for each estuary and catchment area. Tasmanian estuaries were classified into nine groups on the basis of physical attributes that included salini

The most recent field study of the Little Swanport estuary, Tasmania carried out by Crawford et al. (2006) collected monthly samples at sites throughout the estuary between January 2004 and January 2005. Measurements included water column nutrients, chlorophyll-a, dissolved oxygen, salinity, phytoplankton, zooplankton and oyster growth. This work demonstrated that freshwater flows had a significan

This project addresses the urgent need to understand and monitor the aesthetic value of the Great Barrier Reef. Focusing on the fast-changing underwater systems of the Reef, this research will use advanced technology (including eye tracking and heart rate measurement) to elicit what environmental and experiential attributes contribute to aesthetic value.

This dataset resulted from two inter-linked research streams. The first stream was related to the application of eye-tracking technology and an online survey in studying natural beauty. The second stream is related to the development of an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based system recognising and assessing the beauty of natural scenes. Due to differences in data collection and data analysis, detai

This dataset consists of a review of case studies and descriptions of coral restoration methods from four sources: 1) the primary literature (i.e. published peer-reviewed scientific literature), 2) grey literature (e.g. scientific reports and technical summaries from experts in the field), 3) online descriptions (e.g. blogs and online videos describing projects), and 4) an online survey target

Aesthetic condition and trend of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) are critical to monitor for the Reef 2050 Integrated Monitoring and Reporting Program (RIMReP), and World Heritage Area reporting. This research project designed and implemented an aesthetics long term monitoring program (ALTMP) for the GBR. It included a strong research component that identified how to convert a subjective measurement

A key criteria for inscription of the Great Barrier Reef as a World Heritage Area is Criteria (VII) – exceptional natural beauty & aesthetic importance. Our project will work across social and ecological disciplines to identify, for the first time, indicators that will enable managers to measure and monitor aesthetic values for the GBRWHA. The outcomes will enable managers to predict and minim
