Corals of the Dampier Harbour - Their Survival and Reproduction During the Dredging Programs of 2004

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

MScience undertook a variety of studies for Dampier Port Authority and Pilbara Iron in response to proposals involving dredging of new berths and channels that occurred: Dampier Port Authority (DPA): 8 January - 20 May 2004; and Hamersley Iron Pty Limited (HI): 8 May - 23 October 2004 .
Data collected involved surveying distribution of coral species and their community structure, high-precision monitoring of coral, patterns of mortality from natural and anthropogenic influences (cyclone and dredging), water quality and investigating the reproductive status of corals in the turbid inshore marine environments of Dampier Harbour.
