The dataset comprises 2108 individuals from 100 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around Darwin Harbour wrecks using 72 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). 409 images were captured from these cameras. Approximately 3500 of the best images from all BRUVS (TM) projects are stored in a reference library. Data recorded concern: - classification of the habitat in the field of view (topography, sediments, benthos) - the identity of fish and CAABCODES - their time of arrival - their behaviour (8 categories, including feeding on the bait) - their maturity (adult or juvenile) - their relative abundance (as MaxN = the maximum number visible at one time, or distinguishable at different times as separate individuals e.g. much larger/smaller, male/female) - the time elapsed before MaxN and feeding occurs. A custom interface has been developed by AIMS staff, using Microsoft Access, for reading and analysis of BRUVS(TM) tapes.

The dataset comprises 569 individuals from 94 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around Inshore Shoals : Cairns and Cardwell using 19 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). 238 images were captured from these cameras.

This record describes the coral luminescence as a recorder of freshwater impacts from inshore corals of the Fitzroy River Basin. Eight cores from AIMS’ Coral Core Archive were used in this study: Two cores from the same colony were collected from Humpy Island (23.2oS, 151.0oE) collected in1997 - HMP01A, HMP01B, Four cores from four separate colonies were collected from Hummocky Island (23.4oS, 151.1oE), collected in in 2017 - HUM02A, HUM03A, HUM04B, HUM05B Two cores from two separate colonies were collected from Masthead Island (23.5o S, 151.7oE), collected in 2017 - MAS01E, MAS02A The Hummocky and Masthead Island cores were collected as part of a co-funded project with the Gladstone Healthy Harbour Partnership (Cantin et al 2018) The coral cores slices were photographed under UV light to reveal luminescent lines and analysed for gamma densitometry, measurements of skeletal density and luminescence. Measurements were analysed for relationships between coral records and the river flow data using cross correlation and linear regression analyses. Environmental data for daily river flows were obtained from The Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy (DNRME) Water Monitoring Portal. Geochemical tracers were measured in four coral cores that cover the period from 1677 to 2016. The study focused on 15 trace elements which can provide evidence of changes in the marine environment related to historical and ongoing changes influenced by river systems.

The NRS Darwin mooring (IMOS platform code: NRSDAR), is one of 9 IMOS - ANMN National Reference Station (NRS) designed to monitor oceanographic phenomena in Australian coastal ocean waters. The NRSDAR buoy is deployed at Latitude: -12.3382, Longitude: 130.6952. The IMOS national reference stations will extend the number of long term time series observations in Australian coastal waters in terms of variables recorded both in their temporal distribution and geographical extent. It will also provide for biological, physical and chemical sampling and for 'ground truth' of remotely sensed observations.

This data set was collected by weather sensors deployed on the AIMS Weather Station site Rib Reef.
