Benthic sediment surveys of inner Darwin Harbour (GA0358) and shallow water areas in and around Bynoe Harbour (GA0359) in 2017: Grain size measurements on seabed sediments.

Benthic sediment sampling of Inner Darwin Harbour (GA0358) and shallow water areas in and around Bynoe Harbour (GA0359) was undertaken between May 29 and June 19, 2017. Partners involved in the surveys included Geoscience Australia (GA), the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources within the Northern Territory Government (NT DENR) (formerly the Department of Land and Resource Management (DLRM)). These surveys form part of a four year (2014-2018) science program aimed at improving knowledge about the marine environments in the regions around Darwin and Bynoe Harbour’s through the collection and collation of baseline data that will enable the creation of thematic habitat maps to underpin marine resource management decisions. This project is being led by the Northern Territory Government and is supported by the INPEX-led Ichthys LNG Project, in collaboration with - and co-investment from GA and AIMS. This dataset comprises grain size measurements on seabed sediments.

2017年5月29日至6月19日，研究团队对达尔文港内湾（编号GA0358）及拜诺港周边浅水区（编号GA0359）开展了底栖沉积物（benthic sediment）采样工作。本次调查的合作方包括澳大利亚地球科学局（Geoscience Australia，GA）、澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（Australian Institute of Marine Science，AIMS），以及北领地政府环境与自然资源部（Northern Territory Government Department of Environment and Natural Resources，NT DENR，前身为土地与资源管理局（Department of Land and Resource Management，DLRM））。
本项调查隶属于一项为期四年（2014-2018年）的科学计划，该计划通过收集与整理基础数据，深化对达尔文港及拜诺港周边海域海洋环境的认知，进而制作专题生境地图，为海洋资源管理决策提供支撑。本项目由北领地政府主导，由INPEX牵头的伊奇斯液化天然气（Ichthys LNG）项目提供支持，并与澳大利亚地球科学局（GA）、澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（AIMS）开展合作与联合投资。
本数据集包含海底沉积物的粒度测量数据。
