Patterns of larval dispersal in the canyons of the southwest marine region.

Coral reefs in north west Australia provide the perfect opportunity to study the effects of warming events in a region not heavily impacted by humans.

The National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Marine and Coastal hub (MaC) provides the eAtlas Data Wranglers to assist with Northern Node projects in the NESP MaC, for all issues associated with their data management and data publication.

First sighting of black corals in Australian shelf waters

This technical presentation provides an introduction to the aim of the eAtlas as well as a comphensive overview of the design and architecture of the eAtlas systems.

Marine scientists are supercharging marine research using remote sensing technologies and increased computing power to reveal secrets from one of the most remote and pristine marine regions in Australia.

Dr Radford explains how he uses sound to explore and map deeper 'hidden' coral reefs of the Timor Sea. It is only recently that these reefs have started to be documented. Many remain undiscovered.

In 2013 and 2014 AIMS undertook a biodiversity survey of coral and fish species on the reefs around 5 islands in Torres Strait. This article shows the coral photo collection that was taken for species identification.

This map shows the foraging paths of two nesting shearwater birds that were tracked off Heron Island. The tracks show their foraging trips to collect food for their young.

How do I submit data to the eAtlas? In what file format(s) should I submit my data? How do I cite the data in my manuscript? How may data from eAtlas be reused? and other questions about data management in the eAtlas

Research into Australia's north west oceanic shoals have found them to support exceptional species diversity with fish richness greater than that found on similar submerged reefs on the Great Barrier Reef.

A network-wide assessment of coral reef biodiversity undertaken by Reef Life Survey and local sea rangers

As part of the NERP TE project 2.3 temperature loggers were deployed at 15 sites across the Torres Strait to measure ocean temperature.

No-take marine reserves (NTMRs) are widely advocated for conserving exploited fish stocks and biodiversity.

This article shows a range of BRUVS footage taken on the North West Shelf of Australia, including Barracuda Shoal, Eugene McDermott, Shoal 25, Vulcan Shoal and Wave Governor Bank Shoal.

This map shows the number of large (> 40 cm) Crown of Thorns Starfish (COTS) removed by the AMPTO run control program (culling of COTS) during their first visit to each of the control sites. This map shows the first visit to each site as this is the visit when typically the most COTS are detected. In subsequent visits the number of COTS is typically reduced as a result of the culls from previous visits.

An investigation into larval population connectivity between marine parks in the north and northwest networks.

The crown-of-thorns seastar, Acanthaster planci, is a predator of corals and along with cyclones is the major cause of coral mortality on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) 1 .

SELTMP is the Social and Economic Long Term Monitoring Program for the Great Barrier Reef.

This poster map shows satellite and aerial imagery of Torres Strait. It also shows the Australia Maritime Boundariers in the region. This region neighbours with Papau New Guinea resulting in complex maritime boundaries.
