Seagrass meadows extents derived from field to spaceborne earth observation at Midge Point, Great Barrier Reef, September/October 2017
Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN)Seagrass meadow extent and meadow-scape was mapped using three alternative approaches at Midge Point, a coastal turbid water habitat, in the central section of the Great Barrier Reef, in September/October 2017. Approach 1 included mapping meadow boundaries and…

Biodeposition from four bivalves species using natural estuary water in Australia
Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN)The threatened status of shellfish reefs has been well established globally (e.g Beck et al 2011) however the ecological consequences of these losses is still largely unknown. In Australia, shellfish reefs are one of the most imperilled marine habitat types…
