Video Sensing of the Size and Abundance of Target and Non-target Fauna in Australian Fisheries - a National Workshop

 
Marnie Campbell

Statement of Interest

Environment Australia (EA), Marine Protected Areas - National System - section is working on the NRSMPA (National Representative System of Marine Protected Areas). I'm managing two of the NRSMPA actions: rapid assessment; and performance assessment. Within the rapid assessment action, I'm interested in identifying and providing guidelines for suitable rapid assessment techniques that can be used to identify potential MPAs. This is of particular interest in deep water regions and turbid waters. The video and other techniques presented at this workshop may be useful for EA's rapid assessment purposes. Within the performance assessment action I'm developing criteria, indicators and monitoring techniques for the Commonwealth Waters MPAs. Criteria, indicators and monitoring guidelines will also be developed at the bioregional, jurisdictional and national levels. To accurately assess the performance of MPAs accurate baseline information is required and hence I'm interested in the video and other techniques that will be discussed in this workshop because when coupled with quantitative sampling, these methods may provide a cost-effective method of providing baseline information within an area of interest.
