Brief description Southern and Eastern Tasmania (Barrett, Johnson): There are two elements to the IMOS AUV Facility activities in Tasmania, including sustained observation of the impacts of climate change on key reef species and understanding meso‐ and large‐scale physics as drivers of reef community structure and dynamics. The first AUV deployments associated with the new program of sustained observing supported through the EIF extension program were completed during 12 days of survey work in June 2010. Deployments were centered on coastal reefs in eastern Tasmania adjacent to the Freycinet Peninsula, extending from The Nuggets into the Freycinet MPA, and at sites along the Tasman Peninsula as well as in the South extending from coastal reefs at The Friars (SE Bruny Island) to the shelf break within the Huon MPA. A number of dives within the Freycinet MPA were located over sites surveyed in 2008 and 2009 providing the first opportunity to revisit a survey over a long time frame.

Statement: This data is provided by the IMOS AUV Facility and was collected by the University of Sydney's Australian Centre for Field Robotics aboard the TAFI Research Vessel R/V Challenger. The AUV Sirius undertook seafloor survey deployments along the Tasmanian Peninsula, at Port Arthur and in the Huon Channel between October 5th and 16th, 2008. This
represents a first pass processing completed while onboard the ship. A more thorough revision may be available in the future.
In all 19 dives were completed, in addition to a number of calibration dives which are not contained on this disk. Each mission has been processed to generate a dive report, dive tracks, geotifs and meshes. Multibeam and hydrographic data have been completed for some but not all dives. The structure of each dive summary is as follows:
