Brief description

Four locations along the Kimberley coast were video and depth surveyed to describe the substratum type, biohabitat type and the bathymetry of the seabed. Video and depth data was collected between 9 - 29 June 2008 from the vicinity of Gourdon Bay, Quondong – Coulomb Point, Perpendicular Head and Packer Island. Video footage was analysed to obtain habitat classification data to generate distribution maps of substrate and biohabitat types. These maps were used by the Northern Development Taskforce as part of a selection process to rank the suitability of a range of locations for a proposed common-user liquefied natural gas hub precinct.

Lineage

Statement: Distribution maps of substrate and biohabitat types were produced as mean percent coverage along video transects for the four survey locations. Maps were generated in ArcGIS Version 9.2 and produced in both printed (A1) and electronic *.png file formats. For more detailed methods refer to final report which is available through the link above.
