Ashmore Reef Marine Park Environmental Assessment 2019 - marine fauna survey

In early 2019 Parks Australia commissioned CSIRO to undertake a survey of selected marine and terrestrial environmental values at Ashmore Reef Marine Park. Specific foci for the marine component of the survey were to assess the abundance of key invertebrates which have historically been the subject of illegal fishing and over-exploitation (trochus, beche-de-mer and giant clams), and to assess status (cover and health) of key habitat forming benthic assemblages (corals, macroalgae and seagrass). The terrestrial surveys were undertaken in May 2019 and the marine surveys in June 2019. Details are in the following metadata record https://marlin.csiro.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/269d73f5-1aa2-4e06-9805-1844dd9c7a6a Access to this collection's metadata and/or data files (if any) are restricted until 31 Dec 2021. The current occurrence records have no abundance values. They will be published at the end of the embargo period.

2019年初，澳大利亚公园局（Parks Australia）委托澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）对阿什莫尔礁海洋公园（Ashmore Reef Marine Park）选定的海洋与陆地环境价值开展专项调查。本次调查的海洋部分核心目标为：一是评估曾长期遭受非法捕捞与过度开发的关键无脊椎动物类群的种群丰度（包括马蹄螺（trochus）、海参（beche-de-mer）与砗磲（giant clams））；二是评估关键造栖底栖生物群落（珊瑚、大型藻类与海草）的覆盖状况与健康水平。陆地调查于2019年5月实施，海洋调查则于同年6月开展。本次调查的详细信息可参阅以下元数据记录：https://marlin.csiro.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/269d73f5-1aa2-4e06-9805-1844dd9c7a6a。该数据集的元数据及（若存在）数据文件的访问权限将被限制至2021年12月31日。当前已收录的发生记录暂未包含丰度数据，相关内容将在数据禁运期结束后正式发布。
