These trials were aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of using an AUV for conducting biodiversity assessment in waters beyond diver depths. The particular focus of these deployments was on documenting sponge habitats in 40m to 80m depths and in exploring canyons in depths of up to 250m. The dive reports from this campaign summarise AUV activity during each dive. Data for this campaign will soon be available. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[113.781, -22.247], [114.304, -22.247], [114.304, -21.575], [113.781, -21.575], [113.781, -22.247]]]} 113.781 114.304 -22.247 -21.575 AUV Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Bathymetry Cameras Chlorophyll Conductivity Data Loggers Field Surveys Fluorescence Fluorometers IMOS Facility Nutrients Ocean Chemistry Ocean Optics Ocean Temperature Oceans Organic Matter Oxygen SONAR Seabed Vehicles Seafloor Topography Still Cameras Turbidity Turbulence Sensors Underwater Surveys Water Depth Water Temperature Western Australia underwater Website of the Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN) documentDigital HTML
