This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub project "Mapping temperate continental shelf seabed habitats". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> Rocky reefs provide anchors for attached marine invertebrate species such as corals and sponges, creating habitat for mobile invertebrates, and resident and roving fishes and mammals. They are subject to pressures from activities such as fishing, shipping, as well as climate change. Given their important natural, economic and social value, rocky reefs are focus areas for management in marine bioregional plans and Australian Marine Parks (AMPs).<br /> <br /> Previous collaborative research by the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub and Parks Australia found that for many AMPs, understanding the extent of seabed habitats (including reef) is a priority for evaluating management effectiveness. While detailed habitat maps exists for many nearshore regions, however, they are lacking for Commonwealth waters.<br /> <br /> This project will fill gaps in knowledge of the extent and distribution of seabed habitats on Australia’s temperate continental shelf, with a focus on surveys of rocky reefs in the South-west Marine Parks Network and the South-east Marine Parks Network. Existing data will be collated and analysed to validate the presence/absence of seabed habitats on the temperate continental shelf, and drop cameras will be deployed at priority areas the validate habitats. The new knowledge will enhance the capacity of AMP managers to protect marine park values and assess the effectiveness of management.<br /> <br /> Outputs<br /> • Seafloor imagery and annotations [dataset]<br /> • Validated habitat maps (for AMPs with detailed observations) [dataset]<br /> • Habitat prediction maps (for AMPs lacking observations) [dataset]<br /> • Updated reef extent layer for temperate continental shelf [dataset]<br /> • Final technical report [written]

本记录概述了NESP海洋和沿海枢纽项目“测绘温带大陆架海底生境”。有关此项目的特定数据输出，请参阅与此元数据关联的子记录。<br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> 岩礁为珊瑚和海绵等附着的海洋无脊椎动物物种提供了锚，为移动的无脊椎动物以及定居和游动的鱼类和哺乳动物创造了栖息地。它们受到渔业、航运以及气候变化等活动的压力。鉴于其重要的自然、经济和社会价值，岩礁是海洋生物区计划和澳大利亚海洋公园管理的重点领域。<br /> <br /> NESP海洋生物多样性中心和澳大利亚公园先前的合作研究发现，对于许多AMP来说，了解海底栖息地（包括珊瑚礁）的范围是评估管理有效性的优先事项。虽然许多近岸地区都有详细的生境图，但英联邦沃茨却缺乏。<br /> <br /> 该项目将填补澳大利亚温带大陆架海底生境范围和分布方面的知识空白，重点是调查西南海洋公园网络和东南海洋公园网络的岩礁。将对现有数据进行整理和分析，以验证温带大陆架上是否存在海底生境，并将在验证生境的优先地区部署空投式摄像机。新知识将提高AMP管理人员保护海岸公园价值和评估管理成效的能力。<br /> <br /> 输出<br /> ·海底图像和注释[数据集]<br /> ·经过验证的栖息地地图（用于具有详细观察结果的AMP）[数据集]<br /> ·栖息地预测图（用于缺乏观测的AMP）[数据集]<br /> ·更新的温带大陆架珊瑚礁范围层[数据集]<br /> ·最终技术报告[书面]
