NESP MB Project D8 - Canyon mapping and biodiversity in Gascoyne Marine Park

本记录概述了国家环境保护计划海洋生物多样性中心项目D8--“加斯科因海洋公园的峡谷测绘和生物多样性”的范围和研究成果。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/> 人们对澳大利亚海洋公园的深水知之甚少。最近由国家海洋计划支持的调查以东部深海和塔斯马尼亚海山为目标(国家海洋计划D4项目)，但西澳大利亚州没有类似的努力。为了解决这一信息不足的问题，我们计划在加斯科因海洋公园的栖息地保护区和多用途区域内积极绘制和采样两个重要的、未被生物勘探的海底峡谷(开普朗日和克劳茨峡谷)。将遵循海洋采样的标准操作程序(多波束、调查设计)，并由其他采样平台(e-DNA、ROV)通知未来的SOP(NESP项目D2)。<br/> <br/> 计划产量<br/> ·ROV图像库(将与NCI的澳大利亚海洋图像收藏一起存档)<br/> ·衍生测深产品(将通过澳大利亚地球科学网站提供，并链接到相关门户网站，包括海洋公园地图集和西北地图集)<br/> ·分类标识和相关元数据(将通过澳大利亚生活图集(ALA)门户网站在线提供)<br/> ·Sanger遗传序列和e-DNA序列(将保存在NCBI的Genbank、Short Read存档或DataDryad等数据库中)<br/> ·多波束数据将在澳大利亚地球科学中心处理成水深网格，并通过AusSeabed门户网站提供

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Project D8 - "Canyon mapping & biodiversity in Gascoyne Marine Park". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> <br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> Very little is known about the deep waters of Australia’s marine parks. Recent NESP-supported surveys have targeted eastern abyssal depths and Tasmanian seamounts (NESP Project D4), but there have been no similar efforts in Western Australia. To counter this information deficit, we plan to actively map and sample two significant and biologically unexplored submarine canyons (Cape Range and Cloates Canyon) in the habitat protection and multiple use zones of the Gascoyne Marine Park. Standard operating procedures for marine sampling (multibeam, survey design) will be followed, with other sampling platforms (e-DNA, ROV) informing future SOPs (NESP Project D2).<br /> <br /> Planned Outputs<br /> • ROV image library (to be archived with the Australian Marine Imagery Collection at NCI)<br /> • Derived bathymetric products (to be made available through Geoscience Australia website and linked to relevant portals, including the Marine Park Atlas and North-West Atlas)<br /> • Taxonomic identifications and associated metadata (to be made available online through Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) web portal)<br /> • Sanger genetic sequences and e-DNA sequences (to be lodged in databases such as NCBI’s Genbank, short read archive or DataDryad)<br /> • Multibeam data will be processed into bathymetric grids at Geoscience Australia and made available via the AusSeabed portal
