The Collaborative East Antarctic Marine Census (CEAMARC) voyage was conducted on the Aurora Australis between December 2007 and January 2008. The voyage was operated as part of the Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) program to document the benthic communities and their associated habitats across the George V Shelf in east Antarctica. Underwater video footage was collected from 22 sites across the shelf using Geoscience Australia's Deep Under Water Camera (DUCII). Transects were run for 15-40 minutes across depths ranging from 140 m to 1200 m. All video footage is stamped with the UTC time. Stations are named according to the CEAMARC station number followed by the instrument used (eg. CAM for camera) and then the deployment number. For example 09CAM05 was deployed at CEAMARC site 9 and was the 5th camera transect. The location and depth of each station is listed below.
