Mudjimba Island Bathymetry Survey at 0.5m Resolution

The Mudjimba Island Bathymetry survey was acquired for the Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (DETSI) onboard the MV Jim Peel on 03 December 2024. Bathymetry data was acquired using a Reson Seabat T50P and processed using CARIS software, exported as a 0.5m resolution GeoTIFF. The survey aimed to characterise the benthic environment and identify areas suitable for mooring block placement.

Use Cases

• Characterising benthic environments based on bathymetry and backscatter data.
• Identifying flat areas suitable for mooring block placement based on substrate features.
• Analyzing seabed morphology around Mudjimba Island based on a 1.5km x 1.5km survey area.

Strengths

• Data has a specified 0.5-meter spatial resolution.
• Survey was conducted on a specific date, 03 December 2024.
• Data is georeferenced to the GDA2020 coordinate system.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is explicitly not to be used for navigational purposes.
