A ship of tools for marine monitoring

RV Challenger at the CSIRO wharf in Hobart ready for June 2012 Flinders Marine Park survey, with Baited under water video (shallow), Deep-water CSIRO Baited underwater video (topped with brightly coloured floats), plus the CSIRO Towed Video system. This NERP Hub cruise deployed baited underwater video and towed video over previously mapped seabed within the Flinders Marine Park to quantitatively determine the distribution of species and habitats within the shelf and upper slope of the Marine Park based on a GRTS-based statistical framework for spatially balanced sampling and inference.
