Preface
The Australian Institute of Marine Science’s Long-term Monitoring Program annually monitors the cover of benthic organisms, reef fish abundance and crown-of-thorns starfish populations on a sample of reefs of the Great Barrier Reef. Both reef fish and assemblages of benthic organisms are monitored using permanently marked transects.
This Standard Operational Procedure is Number 7 in an ongoing series, produced by the Long-term Monitoring Program at the Australian Institute of Marine Science.
This volume details the procedures for use of video to sample reef benthos along permanent transects and for analysis of video transects in the laboratory using AVTAS, a software system developed at the Institute. Further details of the Long-term Monitoring Program are described in Sweatman et al. (2000)
