Popes Eye Bathymetry Survey of Victorian Marine Parks, 2018

Deakin University Marine Mapping lab collected this bathymetric survey over two days in January 2018. The data was acquired using a Kongsberg EM2040c sonar system aboard the Motor Vessel Yolla. It was created as part of a Parks Victoria project to map all marine parks within Victorian state waters.

Use Cases

• Modeling seabed topography based on bathymetric survey data
• Monitoring changes in marine park habitats based on high-resolution sonar mapping
• Supporting marine spatial planning for Parks Victoria based on state-wide mapping initiatives

Strengths

• Survey conducted with a specific Kongsberg EM2040c sonar system
• Data collection occurred over a defined two-day period from 20/01/2018 to 21/01/2018

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
