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.

本数据集采用拖曳视频断面（Towed Video Transects）、静态数码照片（Digital Stills）、CTD及BRUVS技术，依托ARP7浅滩航次6079完成采集：本研究旨在表征布劳斯盆地（Browse Basin）内两座紧邻普雷路德（Prelude）与伊蒂斯（Ichthys）运营井场的命名浅滩高原区域的固着底栖生物（sessile benthic biota）及其伴生鱼类群落的现状与自然时间变异性。本项目将构建一套按年度更新的参考数据集，用于反映埃丘卡浅滩（Echuca Shoals）与海伍德浅滩（Heywood Shoals）的关键生物多样性指示生境现状。
