A Marine Biological Survey of Mermaid Reef (Rowley Shoals), Scott and Seringapatam Reefs: A preliminary Report

This report is preliminary and produced by the Western Australian Museum's Marine Survey Team from a shallow water (0-20 metres depth) survey of Mermaid, Scott and Seringapatam Reefs. The purpose of the study is to ascertain the status of the biodiversity (an overview census) of selected marine phyla. The sites chosen are a combination of new sites, those previously visited by the Museum in 1986 and a number of sites currently being monitored by the Australian Institute of Marine Science.
