The Lord Howe Rise survey (SS0608, GA survey #2461) was conducted on the Southern Surveyor in collaboration with the University of Wollongong between 16 and 29 April 2008. The survey was operated as part of the Surrogates Program of the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub. 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. A video transect was undertaken at a single station (station 9) in 35 m water depth (31.58°S, 159.04°E to 31.59°S, 159.03°E). Video footage was recorded to mini DV tapes and copied to digital format.
