Jervis Bay Marine Ecological Studies (JBMES) 1988 - 1991

The Jervis Bay Baseline Studies, Final Report, May 1994 (Vol 1-3) documents the three years of research that comprised the Jervis Bay Marine Ecological Studies (JBMES)funded by the Australian Department of Defence. The other products from CSIRO being for progress reports (CSIRO 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1991), 13 1:4000 maps, and a database containing over 500 MB of data. Unfortunately all copies of the final database been lost. The Table of Contents include: Mangroves and saltmatshes; Seagrasses; Mobile fauna of sandy beaches; Deepwater fauna and flora; Intertidal and subtidal epifauna of rocky shores; Infauna of seagrasses and sediments; Epifauna of mangroves and saltmarshes; Water quality; Contaminants; Water circulation; Modelling water circulation; Monitoring; Maps; Appendices.

NB - As most of the database has been lost, some of the data are still available within the the JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report. Ecological data has been sourced from multiple database extracts (not well described) and validated where possible with the reports. In some cases, the spatial location of samples/or observations cannot be adequately resolved. Species names have been validated using World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and CAAB.
