Purpose
OBJECTIVES
1. To identify, classify and map the distribution of, different benthic habitats in the Recherche Archipelago and link their distributions to bottom type and exposure to swells and currents.
2. To provide detailed ecological information to ensure the responsible management of aquaculture fisheries in the region.
3. To increase community awareness of fish habitats through community involvement in the development of baseline studies and ongoing monitoring programs.
