Full description

The marine benthic habitats of seabed areas between the reefs of Torres Strait were classified with data collected on epibenthos abundance, seagrass presence or absence, substrate type and water depth from 1984 to 1989 at 984 sites in an 12,347 square km study area in central Torres Strait.

An idex of habitat diversity, calculated as the variety of distinct habitats within a 10 x 10 km window passed over the study area indicated that the areas with highest diversity of habitats were among the reefs and islands that formed two bands; one from Cape York to Buru Island, and the other from Cape York to Daru Island that included the Warrior reef complex.
