Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Data source: field surveys camera systems data files (dvid) used to calculate camera position, link data to video frames via tape-timecode still images renamed using UTC time stamp, linked to video and camera systems files via time stamp broad-scale video scoring in VARS Photo-scoring: calculate densities using stereo video to define area of a polygon in each image Data added to common image annotation table in Oracle (BHIMAGE); translations of annotations to CATAMI classification available.

They were to: * use advanced sampling tools and techniques that are, to the extent possible, non destructive * collect precisely georeferenced baseline data at scientific reference sites to enable indicators to be quantified (e.g. biodiversity metrics and levels of fishing effort at each site). These data will be documented and available for use for targeted monitoring during subsequent surveys * provide results that can assess the achievement of the TSMR management plan to date (revisit four seamounts photographed in 1997 - Main Pedra, Sister 1, K1 and D1; look for changes in fished and unfished sites) and refine baseline data * enable future assessment against performance objectives for the TSMR and selected proposed Commonwealth MPAs - Huon, Tasman Fracture and possibly South Tasman Rise and Freycinet depending on the time available at sea * test efficiency of the various biodiversity metrics to determine effectiveness, cost and potential for monitoring other deepwater reserves * provide samples for key taxa that can be used in subsequent genetic research to refine definition and extent ...
