Brief description AUV Sirius (IMOS Platform code: SIRIUS) surveyed benthic habitats around the Sir Joseph Banks Island group in South Australia during June 2008 as part of an IMOS-funded research effort led by the Department of Environment and Heritage South Australia (DEH SA). The island group is being considered for the establishment of a marine park and the objective of the cruise was to document the surrounding benthic habitats. The imagery collected by the AUV will be used to validate habitat assessment to be made with sidescan sonar surveys. Data for this campaign will soon be available.
