The Great Barrier Reef is the focus of this dataset, which developed a water quality indicator based on benthic photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). The project experimentally estimated irradiance thresholds for ecosystem health and created a new remote sensing algorithm to map benthic light across the reef. This work was used for Reef Plan report cards, RIMReP monitoring, and cumulative risk assessments.
Since 2007, the Integrated Marine Observing System's Animal Tracking Facility has collected quality-controlled acoustic detections of tagged marine animals across a continental network. This summarised version aggregates all publicly accessible detections to hourly resolution at the receiver and animal level, and is updated on a six-monthly basis. The dataset includes fish, sharks, rays, reptiles, and mammals, with mean hourly sensor values provided for animals carrying multi-sensor transmitters.
The Australian Ocean Data Network provides a case study dataset on benthic habitat mapping using physical surrogates. The data likely contains physical parameters and uncertainty metrics for a marine area in northern Australia, used to evaluate techniques for extrapolating bio-physical relationships. It was last updated on June 23, 2026.
25 Draughtboard sharks (15 females, 9 males) were fitted with acoustic transmitters between January and March 2003. The sharks were sourced from the Crayfish Point Reserve and the east coast of Tasmania (42-43°S, 147-148°E). This dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network via data.gov.au.
PhD research data from the Australian Ocean Data Network investigates two copepod parasites, Caligus and Condracantha, in Striped Trumpeter. The dataset likely contains recorded parasite taxonomy and potential treatment investigations over the parasites' lifecycles. Data was last updated on 2026-07-22.
Darwin and Bynoe Harbour regions in northern Australia have predicted seabed gravel content derived from a compilation of surveys conducted between 2011 and 2017. The dataset provides spatially continuous predictions in 10-meter resolution raster grids, based on 395 samples and 14 environmental variables from multibeam sonar data. This program was funded by the INPEX-led Ichthys LNG Project and involved the Northern Territory Government, Geoscience Australia, and the Australian Institute of Marine Science.
Fortescue Bay in eastern Tasmania is the location for this dataset of underwater video surveys estimating the spatial extent of long-spined sea urchin (Centrostephanus rodgersii) barrens habitat on rocky reefs. The data was collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network using a towed underwater video system across three subsites: Lanterns, Munroe Bight, and Thumbs. The dataset was last updated on 2026-07-22.
Shoot counts for Amphibolis antarctica and Posidonia australis seagrass species transplanted to Middle Bluff and Dubaut Point in Shark Bay. The data was collected by the Malgana people with assistance from UWA staff, with growth assessed after an 8-month period. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in July 2026.
The Darwin Harbour Habitat Mapping Program provides a predicted seabed mud content grid for the greater Darwin and Bynoe Harbour region in northern Australia. The dataset was created by Geoscience Australia, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, and the Northern Territory Government's Department of Environment and Natural Resources, using data from surveys conducted between 2011 and 2017. It offers spatially continuous predictions of seabed %mud content at a 10-meter resolution, based on 395 samples and nine environmental variables derived from multibeam sonar data.
Northeast Australia's marine bioregion, including the Torres Strait, Coral Sea, and Great Sandy Marine Park, is the focus of this 2017-2018 project. It identifies and assesses the ecological, cultural, social, and economic values of systems adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. The project was conducted by the Australian Ocean Data Network to inform cross-jurisdictional planning and management.
Australian Ocean Data Network hosts a dataset on Draughtboard Shark tagging and recapture from January 2000 to January 2007. Sharks were tagged during rock lobster catch sampling trips around southwestern and eastern Tasmania and in the Crayfish Point Reserve. For each shark, sex, total length, and clasper length for males were recorded.
Australian Ocean Data Network hosts data from a study using artificial sandstone boulders to investigate benthic cryptofaunal communities on subtidal rocky reefs. The study aimed to quantify temporal and spatial patterns, the influence of reef profile, and the effect of fishing protection inside and outside the Maria Island marine reserve in eastern Tasmania. The dataset was last updated on 2026-07-22.
Project 5.13 data supports the validation of a values-based causal framework for coastal wetland repair in Great Barrier Reef catchments. The dataset, managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, was last updated in July 2026. It aims to provide evidence for water quality and biodiversity returns from conservation investments, consolidating partnerships and change management practices.
Australian coral reef data from 2018-2019 supports the National Environmental Science Program's Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Integrated Pest Management strategy. The project likely contains ecological parameters, management performance analyses, and scoping for new surveillance technologies. Data was aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in July 2026.
75 monitoring sites form a nationally representative network for groundwater fauna in England. The dataset integrates in-situ water quality, groundwater levels, and biological sampling to build a holistic picture of aquifer condition. It is produced by the UK Environment Agency under the NCEA programme, with a first round of monitoring completed in 2024 and at least three full rounds planned by 2028.
Video survey data estimates the spatial extent of long-spined sea urchin (Centrostephanus rodgersii) barrens habitat on rocky reefs. The dataset covers the Wineglass Bay region on the east coast of Tasmania, comprising three subsites: Boot, Nuggets, and Wineglass. Data was collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network using a towed underwater video system.
Video surveys estimate the spatial extent of Centrostephanus rodgersii barrens on rocky reef habitats. Sampling occurred at 13 regions along Tasmania's east coast, with this dataset focusing on the St Helens region and its three subsites. The Australian Ocean Data Network provides this data, last updated in July 2026.
Biodiversity assessments of invertebrates within seagrass transplant plots for Amphibolis antarctica and Posidonia australis, compared to adjacent bare sand and healthy meadows. The data was aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-07-22. It covers three sites at Middle Bluff, Dubaut Point and Useless Loop in Shark Bay.
Shark Bay, Western Australia, hosts data on the survival of transplanted Posidonia australis seagrass. The dataset likely contains survival assessments at 3, 8, 12, 18, 26, and 30 months after planting at Middle Bluff and Dubaut Point. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in July 2026.
51 sites on the east coast of Tasmania, Flinders Island, and the north coast to Port Sorell were surveyed between December 1995 and September 1996. At each site, two transects were sampled using quadrats to count animals and estimate cover for sessile plants. The dataset was contributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
