Macreadie Seagrass Bathymetry Survey from 2015

The Macreadie Seagrass bathymetry survey was acquired by Deakin University Marine onboard the Motor Vessel Yolla over two days in December 2015. Data collection used a Kongsberg EM2040c instrument. The dataset is hosted by Geoscience Australia Data.

Use Cases

• Modeling seafloor topography based on bathymetric survey data.
• Analyzing seagrass bed distribution and health based on survey location and depth.
• Conducting coastal habitat mapping based on geospatial marine survey data.

Strengths

• Survey conducted over two specific days (09/12/2015-10/12/2015).
• Data collected using a specific instrument (Kongsberg EM2040c).

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.
