XV Marine Debris Survey Information Guide 2 1.0 Introduction Marine debris surveys are part of the Gulf St. Vincent Marine Threat Abatement project, initiated by the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board (AMLRNRMB) and supported through the Australian Government’s Caring for Our Country initiative. This is a collaborative project between three Natural Resource Management Boards (AMLR, Kangaroo Island and Northern and Yorke), Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, South Australian Museum and other organisations around Gulf St Vincent to address the Australian Government’s Marine Debris Threat Abatement Plan to minimise impacts on marine species. The Marine Debris Project seeks to implement objectives of the Threat Abatement Plan (TAP) for Marine Wildlife at a local level. The objectives of the TAP are: 1. Contribute to the long-term prevention of the incidence of harmful marine debris. 2. Remove existing harmful marine debris from the marine environment. 3. Mitigate the impacts of harmful marine debris on marine species and ecological communities. 4. Monitor the quantities, origins and impacts of marine debris and assess the effectiveness of management arrangements over time for the strategic reduction of debris. Marine debris (also known as marine litter) is an increasing and persistent problem that impacts on our estuarine, coastal and marine ecosystems. Given its diversity (i.e. plastic, metal, wood, ceramic, glass) and the abundance of terrestrial (land-based) (e.g. storm- water, rivers, urban litter) and marine-based sources (e.g. commercial and recreational boating and fishing, international and merchant shipping), its influence is globally extensive, affecting wildlife such as sea birds, pinnipeds (seals, sea lions), cetaceans (whales and dolphins) and marine turtles across a range of inshore coastal, and offshore marine habitats. With the introduction of plastics as common use items in households and commercial-based industry, the persistence of non-organic litter (i.e. plastic) in both terrestrial and marine- based systems has increased significantly. While plastic and its components thereof, offer convenience and versatility, their durability is often short-lived often persisting as terrestrial waste in landfill or through translocation processes (i.e. storm-water, transoceanic), are encountered as items of floating oceanic debris that accumulate along convergence zones and deposit within coastal fringes. Marine Debris Survey Information Guide 3 Figure 1. Estimated decomposition rates of common marine debris items. In Australian waters, the increase in quantities of marine debris is met with growing public awareness and concern. In Northern and Southern Australia the high incidence and increased risk of entanglement in marine debris by seals, cetaceans and marine turtles (for example, see Page et al. 2004) and consumption of fragmented plastics by seabirds, has provoked a Federal Government response, listing marine debris under the Australian Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC, 1999) as a ‘key threatening process’ to the survival and abundance of native species or ecological communities’. As a consequence, state and territory government agencies, non-government organisations, industry and local communities have facilitated animal welfare and beach clean-up campaigns (e.g. World Wildlife Fund, Clean Up Australia Day) to understand and alleviate some of its direct impacts. The importance of marine debris surveys Marine debris surveys and beach clean-up activities alike are a valuable means to engage the community and raise public awareness while providing important information into the condition of surrounding coastal areas. In South Australia, while an annual Clean Up Australia Day (CUAD) highlight the problem of marine debris, limited surveys have quantified the amount and type of beach litter collected. Marine debris surveys conducted at Kangaroo Island, Robe and Anxious Bay (Edyvane et al. 2004; Eglinton et al. 2006; Lashmar et al. 2009) describe differences in amounts and types of debris collected, but similarly indicate Marine Debris Survey Information Guide 4 the contribution of plastic as a major source of pollution that impacts our coastlines and wildlife. Given the information marine debris surveys can provide at both local and regional levels, they remain an invaluable tool to assist with the future management of our marine and coastal systems.

  • 1 Australian Tidal Currents – Assessment of a Barotropic Model

Australian tidal currents – assessment of a barotropic model (COMPAS v1.3.0 rev6631) with an unstructured grid. David A. Griffin1, Mike Herzfeld1, Mark Hemer1 and Darren Engwirda2 1Oceans and Atmosphere, CSIRO, Hobart, TAS 7000, Australia 2Center for Climate Systems Research, Columbia University, New York City, NY, USA and NASA Goddard Institute for 5 Space Studies, New York City, NY, USA Correspondence to: David Griffin ([email protected]) Abstract. While the variations of tidal range are large and fairly well known across Australia (less than 1 m near Perth but more than 14 m in King Sound), the properties of the tidal currents are not. We describe a new regional model of Australian 10 tides and assess it against a validation dataset comprising tidal height and velocity constituents at 615 tide gauge sites and 95 current meter sites. The model is a barotropic implementation of COMPAS, an unstructured-grid primitive-equation model that is forced at the open boundaries by TPXO9v1. The Mean Absolute value of the Error (MAE) of the modelled M2 height amplitude is 8.8 cm, or 12 % of the 73 cm mean observed amplitude. The MAE of phase (10°), however, is significant, so the M2 Mean Magnitude of Vector Error (MMVE, 18.2 cm) is significantly greater. The Root Sum Square over the 8 major 15 constituents is 26% of the observed amplitude.. We conclude that while the model has skill at height in all regions, there is definitely room for improvement (especially at some specific locations).

  • The Impact of Sea-Level Rise on Tidal Characteristics Around Australia Alexander Harker1,2, J
    The impact of sea-level rise on tidal characteristics around Australia Alexander Harker1,2, J. A. Mattias Green2, Michael Schindelegger1, and Sophie-Berenice Wilmes2 1Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformation, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany 2School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University, Menai Bridge, United Kingdom Correspondence: Alexander Harker ([email protected]) Abstract. An established tidal model, validated for present-day conditions, is used to investigate the effect of large levels of sea-level rise (SLR) on tidal characteristics around Australasia. SLR is implemented through a uniform depth increase across the model domain, with a comparison between the implementation of coastal defences or allowing low-lying land to flood. The complex spatial response of the semi-diurnal M2 constituent does not appear to be linear with the imposed SLR. The most 5 predominant features of this response are the generation of new amphidromic systems within the Gulf of Carpentaria, and large amplitude changes in the Arafura Sea, to the north of Australia, and within embayments along Australia’s north-west coast. Dissipation from M2 notably decreases along north-west Australia, but is enhanced around New Zealand and the island chains to the north. The diurnal constituent, K1, is found to decrease in amplitude in the Gulf of Carpentaria when flooding is allowed. Coastal flooding has a profound impact on the response of tidal amplitudes to SLR by creating local regions of increased tidal 10 dissipation and altering the coastal topography. Our results also highlight the necessity for regional models to use correct open boundary conditions reflecting the global tidal changes in response to SLR.

The impact of sea-level rise on tidal characteristics around Australasia Alexander Harker1,2, J.A. Mattias Green2, and Michael Schindelegger1 1Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformation, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany 2School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University, Menai Bridge, United Kingdom Correspondence: Alexander Harker ([email protected]) Abstract. An established tidal model, validated for present-day conditions, is used to investigate the effect of large levels of sea-level rise (SLR) on tidal characteristics around Australasia. SLR is implemented through a uniform depth increase across the model domain, with a comparison between the coastal boundary being treated as impenetrable or allowing low-lying land to flood. The complex spatial response of the semi-diurnal constituents, M2 and S2, is broadly similar, with the magnitude of 5 M2’s response being greater. The most predominant features of this response are large amplitude changes in the Arafura Sea and within embayments along Australia’s north-west coast, and the generation of new amphidromic systems within the Gulf of Carpentaria and south of Papua, once water depth across the domain is increased by 3 and 7 m respectively. Dissipation from M2 increases around the islands in the north of the Sahul shelf region and around coastal features along north Australia, leading to a notable drop in dissipation along Eighty Mile Beach. The diurnal constituent, K1, is found to be amplified within the Gulf 10 of Carpentaria, indicating a possible change of resonance properties of the gulf.

  • CAPTAIN MATTHEW FLINDERS Papers, 1801-12 Reel M444
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT CAPTAIN MATTHEW FLINDERS Papers, 1801-12 Reel M444 The National Archives Kew, Richmond Surrey TW9 4DU National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1960 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Matthew Flinders (1774-1814) was born in Donington, Lincolnshire. He entered the Royal Navy in 1789 and in 1791 made his first visit to the Pacific, serving as a midshipman on HMS Providence under William Bligh. In 1795 he sailed to New South Wales on HMS Reliance and, with George Bass, explored the coast south of Sydney. In 1798-99 he and Bass explored Bass Strait and made the first circumnavigation of Van Diemen’s Land. He returned to England in 1800. In 1801 Flinders was promoted to the rank of commander and given command of a sloop, HMS Investigator . He received orders from the Admiralty to explore the unknown southern coast of Australia. He reached Cape Leeuwin in December 1801 and sailing eastwards he charted the Great Australia Bight, Spencer’s Gulf, St Vincent’s Gulf, Kangaroo Island, and Encounter Bay, where he met the French explorer Nicolas Baudin. He explored Port Phillip Bay before reaching Sydney in May 1802. In July 1802 Flinders resumed the survey, sailing north to Cape York and the Gulf of Carpentaria. He found that the Investigator was in a very poor state and was forced to abandon the survey, but he was able to return by way of the western coast and thereby complete the circumnavigation of Australia. He reached Sydney in June 1803. In August 1803 Flinders sailed as a passenger on HMS Porpoise, but the ship was wrecked on the Great Barrier Reef.

More accurate mapping of seagrasses is imperative for their sustainability but is hindered by the lack of data on reflectance spectra representing the optical signatures of individual species. Objectives of this study are: (1) To determine distinct characteristics of spectral profiles for sand versus three temperate seagrasses (Posidonia, Amphibolis, and Heterozostera); (2) to evaluate the most efficient derivative analysis method of spectral reflectance
