Biological Records for Southern Great Barrier Reef National Park Islands

A database of native and alien species records for National Park islands in the southern Great Barrier Reef, compiled from published literature, 'grey' sources, and expert consultation. The dataset includes three shapefiles detailing species abundance, threats, and regional ecosystem types, created as a basis for a decision support tool. It was described as the most complete dataset for these islands at the time of its release.

Seagrass Habitat Maps for Tasmanian Waters Using Satellite and Field Data

Approximately 400 field validation locations using a Benthic Observation Survey System and stereo-video systems were used to map seagrass beds in the Furneaux Group of islands, Tasmania. The project, in partnership with the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre, produced probability, percent cover, and binary presence maps for seagrass, macroalgae, and sand. Data was last updated on 2026-07-13 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

North West Shoals to Shore: Pygmy Blue Whale Distribution and Migration, 2006-2021

22 satellite tag deployments from 2009 to 2021 and passive acoustic monitoring from 46 instruments between 2006 and 2019 track pygmy blue whale migration off Western Australia. The data, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network, quantifies distribution, foraging areas, and movement behavior. It shows whales spent up to 124 days in Indonesian waters and identifies high-use areas for migration and foraging.

Cassowary Density and Abundance in Australia's Wet Tropics, 2014

CSIRO's NERP TE 3.4 project produced a dataset containing the estimated distribution and abundance of Southern Cassowaries (Casuarius casuarius) across the Wet Tropics Region of Australia. The data is based on field surveys along 157 transects from 2012 to 2014, with density estimates derived from faecal-DNA analysis of dung samples. The dataset includes high-resolution and simplified geospatial shapefiles mapping 23 sub-regions defined by essential cassowary habitat.

Kimberley Marine Fish Records from 1880 to 2009 with 1,475 Species

8,326 specimen-based records and thousands of visual records document 1,475 shallow water marine fish species from 135 families in the Kimberley region of north-west Australia. The data, synthesised from museum databases and published by Parks Australia, covers collections made between 1880 and 2009. It highlights pronounced differences between inshore and offshore fish communities, with offshore atolls having high diversity and inshore reefs supporting more endemic species.
