NESP MB Project C5 – Quantification of risk from shipping to large marine fauna across Australia

本记录概述了NESP海洋生物多样性中心项目C5 -“澳大利亚大型海洋动物群船运风险量化”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 /> <br /> 鉴于澳大利亚沿海沿着的沿海/港口开发大幅增加，以及休闲和商业航运的相关增加，与海洋物种发生不利相互作用的可能性越来越大。这些活动对大型海洋动物的两个风险是船舶碰撞和长期海洋噪音的影响。迫切需要进行研究，从空间和时间两个方面量化这些风险，以帮助制定和实施适当的管理战略。该项目旨在提供指导性科学（特定物种和特定地区），为环境部在适用《环境、生物和毒素污染法》方面的决策提供信息。<br /> <br /> <br /> 计划产出<br /> ·船舶撞击风险的初步范围界定报告，总结目前对暂时被提名为船舶撞击风险的物种的了解，可用数据，所需的船舶大小/类型数据以及关于进一步调查哪些物种的建议，并从最容易到最困难的定性排名。<br /> ·澳大利亚EZ和初始处理协议的AIS数据库。<br /> ·2012年至今全澳大利亚范围内的精细航运密度和平均速度地图，包括船舶长度、横梁和吃水等信息。 这些数据将直接用于未来的噪声映射。<br /> ·根据人口密度、船只登记数据和船只坡道位置等现有替代数据，绘制小型船只分布的近似密度全国地图。<br /> ·第一阶段提名的各种物种的一套分布和密度表面;<br /> ·选定物种的空间和时间风险概况。风险地图的范围将从完整的精细比例尺地图（当数据存在时）到分布数据仅限于近似范围的物种的粗比例尺“关注区域”。<br /> ·澳大利亚专属经济区报告中关于国家船舶撞击风险的船舶撞击（历史和最近）数据库的更新版本，以达到现有数据和知识的限度。<br /> ·关于我们的船舶撞击风险方法发展的报告<br /> ·初始运输噪声映射报告<br /> ·关于2017年海洋环境慢性噪声研讨会的建议和结果的报告。

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Project C5 - "Quantification of risk from shipping to large marine fauna across Australia". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> <br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> Given the substantial increases in coastal/port development along the Australian coastline, and associated increase in recreational and commercial shipping, there is an increasing potential for adverse interactions with marine species. Two risks associated with these activities for large marine fauna are ship collisions and the impact of chronic ocean noise. Research is urgently needed to quantify these risks in both a spatial and temporal context to help develop and implement appropriate management strategies. This project aims to provide directed science (species- and area-specific) to inform decision-making by the Department of Environment in its application of the EPBC Act. <br /> <br /> <br /> Planned Outputs<br /> • Initial scoping report of ship strike risk summarising what is currently known about species that were tentatively nominated as being at-risk for ship strike, the data available, shipping size/type data needed and recommendations on what species to investigate further with a qualitative ranking from easiest to most difficult.<br /> • AIS data base for the Australian EZ and initial processing protocols.<br /> • Full Australia-wide fine-scale shipping density and average speed maps for 2012 – present including information such as vessel length, beam and draft. This data will directly feed into future noise mapping.<br /> • A national map of approximate density of small vessel distribution based on available proxies such as population density, boat registration data and boat ramp locations.<br /> • A suite of distribution and density surfaces for the various species nominated during Phase 1;<br /> • Spatial and temporal risk profiles for selected species. The risk maps will range from full fine-scale maps when data is present, to coarse-scale ‘regions of concern’ for species where distribution data is limited to approximate extent.<br /> • An updated version of a database of ship strikes (historical and recent) within the Australian EEZ Report on national ship strike risk to the limits of current data and knowledge. <br /> • Report on our ship strike risk methodological developments<br /> • Report on initial shipping noise mapping<br /> • Report on the recommendations and findings of the 2017 workshop on chronic noise in the marine environment.
