Corals of the Dampier Harbour - Their Survival and Reproduction During the Dredging Programs of 2004

MScience为丹皮尔港务局（Dampier Port Authority）和皮尔巴拉钢铁公司（Pilbara Iron）进行了一系列研究，以回应涉及疏浚新泊位和航道的建议

MScience undertook a variety of studies for Dampier Port Authority and Pilbara Iron in response to proposals involving dredging of new berths and channels that occurred:<br /> <br /> Dampier Port Authority (DPA): 8 January - 20 May 2004; and <br /> Hamersley Iron Pty Limited (HI): 8 May - 23 October 2004 . <br /> <br /> Data collected involved surveying distribution of coral species and their community structure, high-precision monitoring of coral, patterns of mortality from natural and anthropogenic influences (cyclone and dredging), water quality and investigating the reproductive status of corals in the turbid inshore marine environments of Dampier Harbour.
