This project involves extensive monitoring of benthic health around finfish farming operations in Macquarie Harbour, on Tasmania's west coast. These surveys include macrofauna assessments, examination of sediment chemistry and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) surveys across farm transects and control sites.
This Sustainable Marine Research Collaboration Agreement (SMRCA) project is part of an extensive and long-running body of work to examine environmental conditions in Macquarie Harbour.
