WAMSI 2 - Dredging Node - Project 4.1 - Assessing impacts of dredging on corals, Western Australia

Data is in the form of a report, which is a secured (printable, non-editable), searchable, Portable Document Format (PDF) showing the results of the analyses.The objective of the WAMSI DREDGING SCIENCE NODE Project 4.1 was to critically review/evaluate the existing scientific literature on the effects of sediments on corals based on a contemporary understanding of the water quality conditions that can occur during dredging, from WAMSI DREDGING SCIENCE NODE Project 4.1. The reviews accessed information in the published literature (as identified in searches of standard databases such as ISI Web of Knowledge) and grey material. The review also examine all literature cited during the EIS stages of large scale dredging projects and which has been used to develop water quality thresholds for impact prediction.Data used in some of the analyses in the review was from in situ water quality instrumentation from 3 large scale capital dredging projects (Federal Ministerial Approval Statements MS757, MS800, MS840 - searchable on the WA EPA website: http://www.epa.wa.gov.au).

本数据集以报告形式呈现，为加密可打印且不可编辑的可检索便携式文档格式（Portable Document Format，PDF），内含各项分析结果。WAMSI疏浚科学节点（WAMSI DREDGING SCIENCE NODE）项目4.1的目标，是基于该项目中对疏浚作业期间可能出现的水质状况的当前认知，批判性梳理并评估现有关于沉积物对珊瑚影响的科学文献。本次综述检索了标准数据库（如ISI Web of Knowledge）收录的已发表文献与灰色文献资料，同时梳理了大型疏浚项目环境影响评价（Environmental Impact Statement，EIS）阶段引用的、用于制定影响预测所需水质阈值的全部相关文献。本综述部分分析所使用的数据，源自3个大型基建疏浚项目的原位水质监测设备采集资料，相关项目的联邦部长审批意见书编号为MS757、MS800、MS840，可在西澳州环境保护局（WA EPA）官网http://www.epa.wa.gov.au检索查询。
