Classification of the benthos and substrate was based on 17 benthic classes and 6 substrate classes.

A vane-mounted and winch-controlled towed colour video camera provided visual images of the benthos to a shipboard tape recorder that was also recording GPS data (true position (WGS84), ground speed, true heading, date and time) and depth from the ships sounder. A computer based application for recording substrate, benthos and individual organisms was linked to these instruments to facilitate real-time georeferencing of all data points. Spatial resolution was ~3m at a nominal tow speed of 3km/h. C-MapTM vector charts and MaxseaTM electronic navigation software were used to monitor and record the ship's track and the depth.Substrate and benthic categories employed for towed video to classify the habitats and individual organisms recognised:Substrate (abiotic substrate components):Coarse SandRubble (5-50mm)No substrateOverlying Epibenthos:Live Reef CoralsAlgae, DenseAlgae, MediumAlgae, SparseBurrowing Animals (Bioturbated Mud)No BenthosIndividual Organisms:NoneThe percentage cover of benthic communities was classified as follows:S - sparse (0 - 30% cover)M - medium (30 - 60%)D - dense (>60%)&rft.creator=Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) &rft.date=2025&rft.coverage=151.894465,-17.368488 151.89386,-17.36812 151.89227,-17.36716 151.89087,-17.36636 151.88813,-17.36698 151.88882,-17.36748 151.88986,-17.36641 151.88996,-17.36505 151.889903,-17.364603 151.894465,-17.368488 151.889903,-17.364603 151.88996,-17.36505 151.88986,-17.36641 151.88882,-17.36748 151.88813,-17.36698 151.89087,-17.36636 151.89227,-17.36716 151.89386,-17.36812 151.894465,-17.368488&rft.coverage=151.88964,-17.368403 151.88937,-17.3683 151.88795,-17.36847 151.88774,-17.36865 151.88751,-17.36724 151.88595,-17.36567 151.885182,-17.365407 151.88964,-17.368403 151.885182,-17.365407 151.88595,-17.36567 151.88751,-17.36724 151.88774,-17.36865 151.88795,-17.36847 151.88937,-17.3683 151.88964,-17.368403&rft.coverage=151.552785,-17.559058 151.55297,-17.55893 151.55372,-17.55817 151.55464,-17.55601 151.55454,-17.55384 151.55312,-17.55256 151.55165,-17.5515 151.55077,-17.55085 151.550673,-17.550788 151.552785,-17.559058 151.550673,-17.550788 151.55077,-17.55085 151.55165,-17.5515 151.55312,-17.55256 151.55454,-17.55384 151.55464,-17.55601 151.55372,-17.55817 151.55297,-17.55893 151.552785,-17.559058&rft.coverage=151.88653,-17.37795 151.88642,-17.3778 151.88572,-17.37722 151.88431,-17.37642 151.88291,-17.37582 151.88244,-17.37572 151.88653,-17.37795 151.88244,-17.37572 151.88291,-17.37582 151.88431,-17.37642 151.88572,-17.37722 151.88642,-17.3778 151.88653,-17.37795&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.888595; southlimit=-17.368343; eastlimit=151.891008; northlimit=-17.367693&rft.coverage=westlimit=151.888595; southlimit=-17.368343; eastlimit=151.891008; northlimit=-17.367693&rft.coverage=151.88582,-17.377995 151.88514,-17.37762 151.88372,-17.3769 151.88277,-17.37609 151.88179,-17.37562 151.881662,-17.375557 151.88582,-17.377995 151.881662,-17.375557 151.88179,-17.37562 151.88277,-17.37609 151.88372,-17.3769 151.88514,-17.37762 151.88582,-17.377995&rft_rights=Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Australia License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/au/&rft_rights=Use Limitation: All AIMS data, products and services are provided as is and AIMS does not warrant their fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.
