Review and current synthesis of estuarine, coastal and marine habitat monitoring in Australia

Product Information

This report is an advisory document that has been commissioned by the National
Land & Water Resources Audit (the Audit) and prepared by the University of Tasmania.
The report, Review and current synthesis of estuarine, coastal and marine habitat monitoring in Australia, is not intended to be an exhaustive review. It brings together fundamental information to inform the Audit regarding monitoring and assessment of benthic marine habitats across Australia under the National Natural Resource Management (NRM) monitoring and evaluation framework (National M&E Framework).
The document provides:

• A list of all current estuarine, coastal and marine habitat monitoring projects
• A summary of the spatial and temporal coverage for different habitats
• An overview of how different habitats are monitored to identify where common approaches or methodologies may allow broad-scale or regional assessments of habitat condition for the purpose of NRM reporting.
