NE Siberian Red Knot Data Inventory for Gippsland Offshore Energy Area

A 2026 data inventory from the Australian Ocean Data Network collates publicly-available occurrence data for fifteen priority species, including the North-Eastern Siberian Red Knot. The project rapidly explored information sources relevant to the Gippsland offshore renewable energy declaration area in Bass Strait. It aimed to identify datasets, evaluate their utility for regulatory assessments, and suggest improvements for accessibility.

Use Cases

• Identify data sources for endangered species presence based on the inventory of fifteen priority species.
• Evaluate dataset utility for environmental impact assessments based on the project's stated goal for regulatory processes.
• Plan data collection or accessibility improvements for species monitoring based on the project's identified gaps.

Strengths

• Focuses on fifteen priority species identified by Australian government departments.
• Specifically targets the Gippsland offshore renewable energy declaration area and adjacent Bass Strait.
• Last updated on 2026-07-13, suggesting recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Row count, column definitions, and sample data are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic and source bias inherent to the specific project scope and data_gov_au.
