West Cape York Marine Park – Multibeam Survey (Carpentaria Shoal)

The primary objective of the survey was to undertake approximately 24hrs of Multibeam Echo Sounder (MBES) surveying to quantitatively map parts of the seafloor within the West Cape York Marine Park to build knowledge of the values of the park and to provide data that can inform future, targeted bathymetric and biological surveys. In this survey we comprehensively mapped Carpentaria Shoal and ran additional survey lines to the south of Carpentaria Shoal.

本调查的核心目标为开展时长约24小时的多波束测深仪（Multibeam Echo Sounder, MBES）勘测工作，对西约克角海洋公园内的部分海底区域进行定量制图，以深化对该海洋公园各项价值的认知，并提供可用于指导未来针对性水深测量与生物调查的数据集。本次调查全面完成了卡奔塔利亚浅滩的制图工作，并在其南侧布设了额外勘测航线。
