A Survey of the Macrocystis pyrifera (L.) C. Agardh Stocks on the East Coast of Tasmania, 1999.

A survey was conducted for Macrocystis pyrifera (Linnaeus) C. Agardh 1820 from Eddystone Point to South East Cape\nThe survey was conducted from light aeroplane. Areas of Macrocystis pyrifera beds were marked on 1:100,000 topographical land tenure maps using landmarks as references. A Trimble GPS unit was used to track position in the aeroplane. As boundaries of the beds were flown over, these were marked on the GPS. When plotted up, these information assisted in determining Macrocystis bed boundaries where these were not close to the coast.

本研究针对埃迪斯通角（Eddystone Point）至东南岬（South East Cape）海域的巨藻（Macrocystis pyrifera (Linnaeus) C. Agardh 1820）开展了专项调查。本次调查依托轻型航空器实施。调查人员以地标为参照，在1:10万比例尺土地权属地形图上标注巨藻床的分布范围；航空器搭载天宝（Trimble）GPS定位设备以实时追踪飞行位置，当航空器飞越巨藻床边界时，操作人员通过该设备记录对应边界点位。后续对采集到的点位信息进行绘图整合后，可辅助确定远离海岸区域的巨藻床边界。
