The Carnarvon Shelf Survey (SOL4769, GA survey #0308) was conducted on the R.V. Solander in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Marine Science between 12 August and 15 September 2008. The survey was operated as part of the Surrogates Program of the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub. The survey was completed under a Memorandum of Understanding between GA and the AIMS and represents the first of three surveys planned under this agreement. The objective was to collect high-quality, accurately co-located data to enable the robust testing of a range of physical parameters as surrogates of patterns of benthic biodiversity. Underwater video footage and still images were collected from 122 stations from water depths of 13-125 m, although video quality varies among transects and some still images were not of suitable quality for analysis. Images from the still camera can be found in 'Image Library', and images from towed video screen captures can be found in 'Tow Video Stills'. Image files from screen captures are named according to area (1 = Mandu, 2 = Point Cloates, 3 = Gnarloo) followed by the station number and video identifier (TVA1). For example, 2_032TVA1 would represent a towed video transect from Station 32 at Point Cloates. See GA Record 2009/02 (Geocat #68525) for further details. Video footage was recorded to mini DV tapes, and copied to digital format. The original mini DV tapes are archived at AIMS-WA.
