AIMS Long-term Monitoring Program: Video and Photo Transects (Great Barrier Reef)
Benthic organisms were surveyed annually on fixed sites in one habitat on each of 47 selected core survey reefs from 1993 to 2005 in 6 regions throughout the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Surveys were undertaken at 3 sites per reef, with 5x50m transects surveyed per site. \n \nIn 2004 a new zoning plan was implemented in the Great Barrier reef Marine Park and in 2006 the pattern of surveys was changed. The original set of reefs (47) are surveyed in odd years (e.g. 2007) and a different set (56 reefs) are surveyed in even years. The new set consists of paired reefs (one no-take, and one open to fishing) surveyed to assess the effects of rezoning. The paired reefs are near Cairns and Innisfail, Townsville, Mackay, the Swain Reefs and the Capricorn-Brunker group. \n \nFrom 1993 to 2006 video transects were recorded and sub-sampled at 200 points per sample. The program was modified in 2007 to allow collection of data from single frames shot at 1m intervals along each transect using a digital still camera. \n \nBenthic groups recorded are: Abiotic; Hard coral; Soft coral; Coralline algae; Macro algae; Turf algae; Sponge; Other; Indeterminate.\n To annually monitor the cover of benthic organisms, reef fish abundance and crown-of-thorns starfish populations on various reefs of the Great Barrier Reef. \n \nThe program has been designed to track changes in reef communities over time across sub-regions of the GBR.\n Parameters: Percentage cover of different substrate types and benthic organisms (particularly corals), identified to benthic group or lifeform level. Data on reef fish abundance and diversity are collected at the same sites and times.\n

Resource lineage
- Statement
- Statement: The original 52 reefs were reduced to 47 due to problems with regular access. \n \nAfter 2005, reefs were surveyed in alternate years, alternating with a different set of reefs (but with some reefs in common) as part of the program to monitor the effects of rezoning of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. \n \nPermanently marked transects are used. To eliminate confounding in data analyses due to \nobserver biases, transects from each reef are analysed by a group of observers. Training for new observers is given in effectively using the underwater camera gear and in identifying organisms. \n \nVideo transects were analysed using AVTAS software: the time codes recorded from the start of the panorama; the start and finish time codes of each transect ('video frames') recorded on each video data sheet; and the ground truthing eyebolt \ncolours and corresponding benthos identifications had to be accurately entered into a Microsoft Access© database. \n \nDigital still cameras were chosen to replace videos as the resolution of frames is better. \n \nQuality control issues are examined in the following publication: \nNinio R, Delean S, Osborne K and Sweatman H (2003) Estimating cover of benthic organisms from underwater video images: variability associated with multiple observers. Marine Ecology Progress Series 265: 107-116. \n
