A survey of the east Tasmanian coastline from Musselroe Bay to South East Cape revealed a total of 10 km² of Macrocystis pyrifera kelp forest. The dataset estimates a total harvestable biomass of 12,300 tonnes available in 1986, based on historical yield records from 1965-1972. Survey methods included aerial observation, mapping on 1:100,000 topographical maps, and quadrat sampling for weight per unit area.
