Heywood and Echuca Environmental Survey 2014, Western Australia (ARP7 Shoals)

Towed Video transects + Digital StillsCTDSBRUVS ARP7 Shoals Trip 6079To characterise the status of and natural temporal variability in sessile benthic biota and associated fish communities, across the plateau areas on the two named shoals in the Browse Basin closest to the Prelude/Ichthys operational wells. The project will provide a reference dataset, updated annually, for the status of key biodiversity indicators habitats at Echuca and Heywood Shoals.

拖曳视频样带（Towed Video transects）+ 静态数码照片（Digital Stills）、温盐深剖面仪（CTD，Conductivity Temperature Depth）、诱饵式远程水下视频系统（BRUVS，Baited Remote Underwater Video System）、ARP7浅滩航次6079
本研究旨在表征布劳斯盆地（Browse Basin）内紧邻普雷路德（Prelude）与伊西斯（Ichthys）作业油井的两座命名浅滩——埃丘卡浅滩（Echuca Shoals）与海伍德浅滩（Heywood Shoals）的高原区域内，固着底栖生物群落及其伴生鱼类群落的现状与自然时间变异性。本项目将为上述两座浅滩的关键生物多样性指示生境的现状提供每年更新的参考数据集。
