Brief description
The coral and communities at the AIMS Long Term Monitoring (LTM) sites at Scott Reef, Seringapatam and Rowley Shoals were re-surveyed, following periodic surveys since 1994. In addition to the Proposed Field Program, the following work was completed: Benthic LTM surveys at three additional sites at Scott Reef. Coral species diversity surveys at four additional sites at Scott Reef. Benthic LTM surveys of coral communities at 13 sites in the deep lagoon (20-60m) at South Reef using ROV. Colony size-frequency surveys at six sites at Scott Reef. Genetic samples of surviving Seriatopora hystrix from 7 sites at Scott Reef. Additional temperature loggers and current metres deployed at Rowley Shoals. Video and photographic documentation of the Rowley Shoals, in water and from air using drones This project is a co-investment between Woodside Energy Ltd (WEL) and AIMS, in order to build scientific knowledge at Scott Reef, Seringapatam and Rowley Shoals and was undertaken between 4th – 25th November 2017.Lineage
