The IMOS National Reef Monitoring Network sub-Facility collates, cleans, stores and makes this data rapidly available from contributors including: Reef Life Survey, Parks Australia, Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (Western Australia), Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (South Australia), Department of Primary Industries (New South Wales), Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service and Parks Victoria. The data provided by the National Reef Monitoring Network contributes to establishing and supporting national marine baselines, and assisting with the management of Commonwealth and State marine reserves. The Australian Temperate Reef Network (ATRC) aims to improve biodiversity conservation and the sustainable management of marine resources by coordinating surveys of rocky and coral reefs using scientific methods, with the ultimate goal to improve coastal stewardship. Our activities depend on the skills of marine scientists, experienced and motivated recreational SCUBA divers, partnerships with management agencies and university researchers, and active input from the ATRC partners. ATRC data are freely available to the public for non-profit purposes, so not only managers, but also groups such as local dive clubs or schools may use these data to look at changes over time in their own local reefs. By making data freely available and through public outputs, ATRC aims to raise broader community awareness of the status of Australia?s marine biodiversity and associated conservation issues. This dataset contains data on the cover of macroalage and sessile invertebrates collected in situ at Australian Temperate Reef Collaboration (ATRC) sites. Quadrats are placed at 10 m spacing along each transect line (i.e. 5 per 50 m transect and 20 per contiguous 200 m) by divers skilled in macroalgal identification. The canopy layer, mid-story and substrate are sequentially assessed in each single, 50 -point quadrat.Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeededStatement: For details on the standardised survey procedures, please refer to the Methods Manual (link provided in Distribution section)&rft.creator=Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS), University of Tasmania (UTAS) &rft.creator=Parks Victoria &rft.creator=Department of Primary Industries (DPI), New South Wales Government &rft.creator=Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA), Western Australian Government &rft.creator=Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE), Tasmanian Government &rft.creator=Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR), South Australian Government &rft.creator=Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) &rft.date=2021&rft.coverage=134,-34 134,-33 133,-33 133,-32 135,-32 135,-34 134,-34&rft.coverage=119,-34 120,-34 120,-33 121,-33 121,-35 118,-35 118,-34 119,-34&rft.coverage=136,-36 136,-35 135,-35 135,-34 137,-34 137,-32 138,-32 138,-35 139,-35 139,-36 136,-36&rft.coverage=150,-37 150,-35 151,-35 151,-37 150,-37&rft.coverage=142,-39 142,-38 143,-38 143,-39 142,-39&rft.coverage=149,-38 149,-37 150,-37 150,-38 149,-38&rft.coverage=139,-38 139,-36 140,-36 140,-38 139,-38&rft.coverage=145,-38 147,-38 147,-39 149,-39 149,-43 148,-43 148,-44 145,-44 145,-42 144,-42 144,-41 143,-41 143,-39 144,-39 144,-38 145,-38&rft.coverage=147,-41 147,-40 146,-40 146,-41 147,-41&rft.coverage=146,-40 146,-39 145,-39 145,-40 146,-40&rft.coverage=147,-41 147,-42 148,-42 148,-41 147,-41&rft.coverage=147,-42 146,-42 146,-43 147,-43 147,-42&rft.coverage=uplimit=50; downlimit=0&rft.coverage=uplimit=50; downlimit=0&rft_rights=Data, products and services from IMOS are provided as is without any warranty as to fitness for a particular purpose.&rft_rights=&rft_rights= http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/&rft_rights=https://licensebuttons.net/l/by/4.0/88x31.png&rft_rights=WWW:LINK-1.0-http--related&rft_rights=License Graphic&rft_rights=Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License&rft_rights=http://creativecommons.org/international/&rft_rights=WWW:LINK-1.0-http--related&rft_rights=WWW:LINK-1.0-http--related&rft_rights=License Text&rft_rights=The citation in a list of references is: Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS); Parks Victoria; Department of Primary Industries (DPI), New South Wales Government; Parks and Wildlife Tasmania; Department for Environment and Water (DEWNR), South Australia, Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS), [year-of-data-download], IMOS - National Reef Monitoring Network - Benthic cover data (in situ surveys), [data-access-URL], accessed [date-of-access].&rft_rights=Please also utilise and cite this paper when using this data: Neville S.

Brief description

The National Reef Monitoring Network brings together shallow reef surveys conducted around Australia into a centralised database. The IMOS National Reef Monitoring Network sub-Facility collates, cleans, stores and makes this data rapidly available from contributors including: Reef Life Survey, Parks Australia, Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (Western Australia), Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (South Australia), Department of Primary Industries (New South Wales), Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service and Parks Victoria.

The data provided by the National Reef Monitoring Network contributes to establishing and supporting national marine baselines, and assisting with the management of Commonwealth and State marine reserves.

The Australian Temperate Reef Network (ATRC) aims to improve biodiversity conservation and the sustainable management of marine resources by coordinating surveys of rocky and coral reefs using scientific methods, with the ultimate goal to improve coastal stewardship. Our activities depend on the skills of marine scientists, experienced and motivated recreational SCUBA divers, partnerships with management agencies and university researchers, and active input from the ATRC partners.

ATRC data are freely available to the public for non-profit purposes, so not only managers, but also groups such as local dive clubs or schools may use these data to look at changes over time in their own local reefs. By making data freely available and through public outputs, ATRC aims to raise broader community awareness of the status of Australia?s marine biodiversity and associated conservation issues.

This dataset contains data on the cover of macroalage and sessile invertebrates collected in situ at Australian Temperate Reef Collaboration (ATRC) sites. Quadrats are placed at 10 m spacing along each transect line (i.e. 5 per 50 m transect and 20 per contiguous 200 m) by divers skilled in macroalgal identification. The canopy layer, mid-story and substrate are sequentially assessed in each single, 50 -point quadrat.
