  • Characterizing the Hydrodynamics of Jurien Bay, Western Australia
    Characterizing the Hydrodynamics of Jurien Bay, Western Australia Kellie Holloway June 2006 Professor Charitha Pattiaratchi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This dissertation is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering (Applied Ocean Science) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract Abstract Jurien Bay is a small town on the Central West Coast of Western Australia. With an expanding economy based on fishing, aquaculture and tourism and proximity to Perth, Jurien Bay is expected to grow rapidly over the coming years. Increasing anthropogenic pressure has the potential to compromise the currently pristine natural environment. The livelihood of the town and the economy relies on the quality of the marine environment in particular; hence it is important to understand the dynamics of the system. This study investigates the characteristics of circulation in Essex Lagoon, a deep basin to the south of the main Jurien Bay settlement. This area is a particularly important for investigation due to the future impact of the adjacent Ardross Estates development and the aquaculture zone located within Essex Lagoon. An Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) was deployed in summer 2006 to obtain profiles of current velocity and magnitude over three weeks in Essex Lagoon. This data complemented similar data collected during winter 2002 in Essex Lagoon and was used to carry out a seasonal comparison of currents, to characterize circulation patterns and to examine the potential for outside forcing such as atmospheric pressure systems and the Leeuwin Current to influence circulation. A distinct seasonality was found in the circulation characteristics between summer and winter and this was primarily influenced by seasonality in the wind field.

  • VIII-17 West-Central Australian Shelf: LME #44
    VIII East Asian Seas 321 VIII-17 West-Central Australian Shelf: LME #44 T. Irvine, J. Keesing, N. D’Adamo, M.C. Aquarone and S. Adams The West-Central Australian Shelf LME extends off Western Australia (WA) from Cape Leeuwin (~34.5°S) to Northwest Cape (~22°S). This LME owes much of its biogeographic unity to the respective connecting influences of the West Australian Current, a northward flow coming from the circulation pattern of the counterclockwise Indian Ocean gyre, and the Leeuwin Current (LC), the only west coast poleward-flowing eastern boundary current in the southern hemisphere. The LC is a major southward flow of warm, low nutrient, buoyant tropical water along this LME’s relatively narrow continental shelf, and is responsible for tropical reefs and associated marine flora and fauna flourishing further south than anywhere else in the world (CALM, 1994). In addition to these regional scale currents, there are wind-driven coastal counter currents dominating the circulation close to shore mainly during the austral spring/summer period (Pattiaratchi, 2006). Relatively high energy from sea and swell is a major feature of this LME, but there are embayments and lagoons where waves are restricted or effectively blocked, with sheltered highly biodiverse protected habitats occurring behind offshore limestone reefs in many localities (CALM, 1994). The LME has an extremely narrow shelf, in some areas being merely 40 km wide, and covers an area of nearly 550,000 km2, about 2% of which is gazetted as a marine protected area (MPA) that contains 0.37% of the world’s coral reefs (CALM, 2005a; Sea Around Us, 2007; www.dec.wa.gov.au).
