Macreadie Seagrass Bathymetry Survey from December 2015

Australian seagrass bathymetry data collected by Deakin University Marine onboard the Motor Vessel Yolla over two days in December 2015. The survey used a Kongsberg EM2040c instrument. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Model underwater topography based on bathymetry survey data.
• Analyze seagrass habitat distribution based on depth measurements.
• Validate marine survey methodologies based on the Kongsberg EM2040c instrument.
• Study coastal ecosystem changes based on historical bathymetry data.

Strengths

• Survey conducted over two specific days (09/12/2015-10/12/2015).
• Data collected using a specific instrument (Kongsberg EM2040c).
• Dataset is hosted by an authoritative organization (Australian Ocean Data Network).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
