Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Stereo-BRUVS, AUV, Forward Facing Towed Video, Downward Facing Towed Video Credit This project is funded by Parks Australia project number: DNP-MPA-1920-041. Credit Datasets included in this project were collected with funding from the Marine Biodiversity Hub; a collaborative partnership supported through funding from the Australian Government’s National Environmental Research Program (NERP). NERP Marine Biodiversity Hub partners include the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania; CSIRO Wealth from Oceans National Flagship, Geoscience Australia, Australian Institute of Marine Science, Museum Victoria, Charles Darwin University and the University of Western Australia. This project brings together a suite of data from various sources and sampling methods with the aim of comparing methods for monitoring biodiversity in Geographe Commonwealth Marine Reserve. Four methods were compared for collecting habitat data, including Stereo-BRUVS, AUV, Forward Facing Towed Video and Downward Facing Towed Video. These data were collected by various parties; the Stereo-BRUVS and AUV sampling was undertaken by the Marine Biodiversity Hub, a collaborative partnership supported through funding from the Australian Government’s National Environmental Research Program (NERP). Forward Facing Towed Video were collected by Ronen Galaiduk at Curtin University and the Downwards Facing Towed Video were collected by the Marine Ecology Group at the Univeristy of Western Australia. This project is funded by Parks Australia project number: DNP-MPA-1920-041.
