IMSA - Kimberley Marine Offloading Facility - Benthic Infauna Survey

This report presents a summary of results for benthic infauna and sediment samples collected near the Port of Broome and in Roebuck Bay. The results investigate the spatial distribution of sediments and corresponding composition of infauna, and assess associations between benthic infauna and migratory shorebird abundance and diversity, to assist in characterising the significance of the proposed Project development envelope as foraging habitat for migratory shorebird populations.

本报告总结了在布鲁姆港（Port of Broome）附近及罗巴克湾（Roebuck Bay）采集的底栖内生动物（benthic infauna）与沉积物样本的检测结果。本次研究旨在探究沉积物的空间分布特征及其对应的内生动物群落组成，并评估底栖内生动物与迁徙滨鸟（migratory shorebird）丰度、多样性之间的关联，以明确拟建项目开发范围作为迁徙滨鸟种群觅食栖息地的重要性。
