Port Phillip Bay Environmental Study Data 1992-1996

In 1991, CSIRO was approached to design and manage an environmental study of the Bay to seek answers to questions concerning the sustainable use and management of the Bay. The Study began in October 1992 and finished in June 1996. The Port Phillip Bay Environmental Study was managed by CSIRO and supervised by a Management Committee chaired by the (then) Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Also represented on the committee were the EPA, Melbourne Water, Melbourne Parks and Waterways and the former Port of Melbourne Authority. The Study was totally funded by Melbourne Water and Melbourne Parks and Waterways. In all, some 47 research tasks were conducted, ranging from scientific literature reviews to fullscale field surveys. All were contracted out. Of the 30 contractors, six were Victorian State agencies, three Commonwealth agencies, nine universities and 12 consultants. Nineteen contractors were Victorian based, seven from interstate and four from overseas. The research programs covered the fields of physical oceanography, toxicants, algal nutrients, marine ecology and ecological modelling.A final report was delivered "PORT PHILLIP BAY ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY FINAL REPORT" :Harris, G., G.

These datasets include:Bathymetric data, Coastline data, Data from current meters and coastal radar, Flow data for rivers, creeks and drains, Various meteorological data sets, Water salinity and temperature data, Data sets from various tide gauges and Sediment related data sets. The CD ROM also includes electronic copies of the Overview Report 39pp, Final report 248pp and the 47 Technical reports.26, May 2015, Received Port Phillip Bay Environmental StudyData, GIS and Reports CD-ROM created by CSIRO Environmental Projects Office - [e-mail] (2003) from Lawrance Ferns Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning ([e-mail]).

1991年，澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）受邀设计并管理针对菲利普港湾（Port Phillip Bay）的环境研究，以解答该海湾可持续利用与管理相关的各类疑问。该项研究于1992年10月启动，1996年6月收官。菲利普港湾环境研究由CSIRO负责管理，由时任保护与自然资源部主持的管理委员会进行监督。该委员会的成员单位还包括环境保护局（EPA）、墨尔本水务局、墨尔本公园与航道局以及原墨尔本港务局。本研究的全部经费由墨尔本水务局与墨尔本公园与航道局提供。研究总计开展约47项任务，覆盖范围从科学文献综述到全规模野外调查，所有任务均采用外包模式执行。在30家承包机构中，6家为维多利亚州级机构、3家为联邦级机构、9家为高等院校，另有12家为专业咨询公司。其中19家承包机构总部位于维多利亚州内，7家来自澳大利亚其他州，4家来自海外。研究项目涵盖物理海洋学、有毒污染物、藻类营养盐、海洋生态学以及生态建模等领域。最终研究报告《PORT PHILLIP BAY ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY FINAL REPORT》由哈里斯（G. Harris）、贝特利（G. Batley）、福克斯（D. Fox）、霍尔（D. Hall）、耶纳科夫（P. Jernakoff）、莫洛伊（R. Molloy）、默里（A. Murray）、纽厄尔（B. Newell）、帕斯洛（J. Parslow）、斯凯林（G. Skyring）与沃克（S. Walker）合著，于1996年出版：《菲利普港湾环境研究最终报告》，澳大利亚堪培拉：CSIRO。1999年由CSIRO出版部（CSIRO Publishing）于墨尔本以光盘形式发行。此外还生成了47份技术报告。2007年4月，约翰·帕斯洛博士（Dr John Parslow，隶属于CMAR）向CMAR数据中心（CMAR Data Centre）提供了一套光盘形式的数据集合集，该合集与1992年至1996年间开展的菲利普港湾环境研究相关。该数据集合集包含以下内容：水深测量数据、海岸线数据、流速仪与海岸雷达监测数据、河流、溪流与排水渠的流量数据、各类气象数据集、水体盐度与温度数据、多座潮位站监测数据以及沉积物相关数据集。该光盘还包含概述报告（39页）、最终报告（248页）以及47份技术报告的电子副本。2015年5月26日，收到由CSIRO环境项目办公室制作的《菲利普港湾环境研究数据、地理信息系统与报告光盘》：该数据集由环境、土地、水与规划部的劳伦斯·弗恩斯（[e-mail]）提供，相关制作工作由罗伯特·莫洛伊（[e-mail]）于2003年完成。该数据集已被添加至PortPhillipBayDATA_additional网络存档与媒体资源库。
