Dampier Marine Park Habitat Validation

MScience conducted a restricted habitat mapping exercise on behalf of Robe River Mining to confirm the type and location of a benthic habitat class mapped and identified previously by satellite. Transects were recorded through field use of a drop camera and video. Habitat type within the transects were assigned a class by experienced marine scientists and the data used to update a GIS of habitats of the area.

MScience受雇于罗比河矿业（Robe River Mining）开展受限生境测绘工作，以验证此前通过卫星测绘并识别的底栖生境类别的类型与分布位置。研究人员借助野外投放式相机与摄像设备记录样带信息，经验丰富的海洋科学家为样带内的生境类型划定类别，并利用所得数据更新该区域的生境地理信息系统（GIS）。
