Preface

The Long-term Monitoring Program at the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) monitors benthic communities, reef fish communities, crown-of-thorns starfish and water quality on the Great Barrier Reef on an annual basis. This document describes the field and analytical techniques used for the collection, analysis and storage of sediments and associated water samples by personnel of the Long-term Monitoring Program. 

The procedures described here detail equipment and techniques that are specific to those held and used at the Australian Institute of Marine Science. However, the techniques described in this document could be modified to suit conditions at other institutions.
