This survey was designed to assess the broad-scale habitats of Scott Reef in all habitats of North and South Reef to a water depth of 60metres. The habitat maps are derived from the analysis of the LADS survey and using spatial analysis of towed video data for depths greater than 10 metres. Towed video data was collected in 1999, 2004 and a dedicated expedition in February 2006 on the Kimberley Quest II. In addition, all habitat classification data collected on previous AIMS research expeditions, between 1993 and 2005 was included in metadata GIS system which maximised the resolution of the habitat map. Benthos Point intercept data extraction from high resolution still images @ 10m spacing was entered into the AIMS TowedStills system prior to subsequent specialist statistical analyses.
