NESP MB Project D3 - Implementing monitoring of AMPs and the status of marine biodiversity assets on the continental shelf

本记录概述了国家海洋环境计划海洋生物多样性中心项目D3的范围和研究成果--“实施监测海洋生态系统和大陆架海洋生物多样性资产状况”。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/> 很有必要支持澳大利亚公园为澳大利亚海洋公园(AMP)网络建立清查和监测计划，并确保将其纳入更广泛的国家监测框架。<br/> <br/> 该项目的第一部分对来自政府和行业的所有已知测绘数据(包括在CERF和NERP中心期间获得的数据)进行了全国整理，以增进对这一关键栖息地在澳大利亚各地的分布和范围的了解，并找出这方面知识中的关键空白，以便通过有针对性的调查加以填补。这大大提高了对KEF边界和澳大利亚大陆架上联邦海洋保护区内的保护价值或资产的了解。为这些珊瑚礁制定了一个分类系统，并辅之以完善清单和监测方法，以随时间追踪珊瑚礁的健康状况，包括按照为国家环境战略计划内的沿海系统制定的措施(即，见项目C2)了解和报告国家海洋环境的标准方法。这还包括整理关于非礁石硬基板和所有非礁石软基板的所有测绘数据，这些信息也可作为重要的输出。<br/> <br/> 该项目的第二部分利用标准操作程序(SOP)启动了一系列调查，以论证国家调查计划的可持续发展道路。通过促进国家方法，包括收集新海洋数据的基于标准的方法，项目成果将包括帮助澳大利亚公园实施和启动AMP监测计划的关键步骤，为AMP管理提供信息的新知识，国家环境状况(SOE)报告的国家综合框架，以及基于州和基于英联邦的项目之间的合作。<br/> <br/> 计划产量<br/> ·澳大利亚大陆架上珊瑚礁/非珊瑚礁栖息地的分布和范围的国家比例尺地图<br/> ·整理澳大利亚大陆架所有可用的测绘数据<br/> ·针对每个AMP调查的详细报告，包括简明的英文摘要<br/> ·国家数据库和门户网站中存储的调查数据<br/> ·来自AMP调查区和邻近水域的新多波束测绘数据<br/> ·从AUV图像调查中获得关于底栖无脊椎动物覆盖物的新数据<br/> ·通过BRUV调查获得关于底栖鱼类丰度的新数据

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Project D3 - "Implementing monitoring of AMPs and the status of marine biodiversity assets on the continental shelf". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> <br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> There is a significant need to support Parks Australia in the establishment of an inventory and monitoring program for Australian Marine Park (AMP) networks, and ensure it is integrated within broader national monitoring frameworks.<br /> <br /> The first part of this project provided a national collation all known mapping data from government and industry (including data acquired during CERF and NERP Hubs) to improve understanding of the distribution and extent of this key habitat around Australia, and to identify critical gaps in this knowledge to be filled by targeted surveys. This significantly improved understanding of KEF boundaries and conservation values or assets within Commonwealth Marine Reserves on Australia’s continental shelf. A classification system was developed for these reefs, and matched with refinement of inventory and monitoring approaches to track reef health through time, including standard approaches to SOE understanding and reporting consistent with measures developed for coastal systems within NESP (i.e. see project C2). This also involved collation of all mapping data on non-reef hard substrate, and all non-reef soft substrate, with this information also being available as a significant output.<br /> <br /> The second part of this project initiates a series of surveys, utilising standard operating procedures (SOPs), to demonstrate a sustainable path for a national survey program. By facilitating national approaches, including a standards-based approach to collecting new marine data, project outcomes will include key steps to assist Parks Australia to implement and initiate an AMP monitoring program, new knowledge to inform AMP management, a national integrated framework for State of Environment (SOE) reporting, and collaboration between State-based and Commonwealth-based programs. <br /> <br /> Planned Outputs<br /> • National-scale map of the distribution and extent of reef/non-reef habitat on the Aus continental shelf<br /> • Collation of all available mapping data for the Aus continental shelf<br /> • Detailed reports specific to each AMP survey, including a plain English summary<br /> • Survey data stored in national databases and portals<br /> • New multibeam mapping data from AMP survey areas and adjacent waters <br /> • New data on benthic invertebrate cover obtained from AUV imagery surveys<br /> • New data on benthic fish abundance obtained by BRUV surveys
