Popes Eye Bathymetry Survey of Victorian Marine Parks, 2018

Victorian state waters were surveyed over two days in January 2018. Deakin University Marine Mapping lab collected this bathymetry data onboard the Motor Vessel Yolla using a Kongsberg EM2040c. The survey was part of a Parks Victoria project to map all marine parks within Victorian waters.

Use Cases

• Model seabed topography based on bathymetry survey data
• Analyze underwater habitat features for marine park management
• Assess changes in coastal morphology based on high-resolution sonar mapping
• Support marine conservation planning based on detailed seafloor maps

Strengths

• Survey conducted with a Kongsberg EM2040c, a high-resolution multibeam echosounder
• Data collected over two consecutive days (20/01/2018-21/01/2018), suggesting focused acquisition
• Project scope is defined as mapping all marine parks within Victorian state waters

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
