This dataset contains species distribution, abundance and identity data of benthic invertebrates from Botany Bay, NSW. Epifauna samples were obtained every 3 months from mangroves and saltmarshes between June 1990 and March 1991. Taxa identified consisted of 9 species of molluscs, all of which were gastropods. The data were taken as a control site for similiar sampling in Jervis Bay. The data are part of the Jervis Bay Marine Ecological Study. NB - As the database has been lost, the only data still available are those published in the JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report.

This dataset contains species distribution, abundance and identity data of benthic invertebrates from Jervis Bay, NSW. Epifauna samples from the inter-tidal and subtidal rocky coasts around the bay were sampled at 3 monthly intervals between November 1988 and August 1991. Taxa identified 51 species appearing consistently at most temporal and/or spatial scales on intertidal and subtidal reefs in Jervis Bay. The data are part of the Jervis Bay Marine Ecological Study. NB - As the database has been lost, the only data still available are those published in the JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report.

This dataset contains data on species distributions, productivity, reproduction and growth of mangroves and saltmarshes from Jervis Bay, NSW. The data were obtained from a variety of surveys and measurement techniques between October 1988 and July 1991. Taxa identified comprised of about 130 vascular flora species, 15 of which are exotic. Species numbers range from 2 species in the mangroves to more than 80 in the fringe forest. Population structures of the 5 dominant species - Avicennia marina, Aegiceras corniculatum, Casuarina glauca, Sclerostegia arbuscula and Gahnia filum vary spatially. Temporal change in populations of Avicennia has occurred over time intervals of 20 years, the other species appear to have remained stable over the past 50 years. 13 maps on the mangrove and saltmarsh complexes have been prepared at a scale of 1:4000. The Jervis Bay mangroves and saltmarshes were compared with other locations around Batemans Bay and Port Hacking. NB - As the database has been lost, the only data still available are those published in the JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report.

This dataset contains seagrass productivity and distribution data from Jervis Bay, NSW. The data were obtained between October 1988 and July 1991. Aerial photographs and ground truthing data were used to map the boundaries and distribution of the seagrass meadows. Digitised seagrass maps have been merged with the mangrove and saltmarsh maps (Chapter 2) to create 13 maps of the marine and estuarine habitats of Jervis bay. Taxa identified two species that form large meadows and two other species that occur in Jervis Bay. Experiments on seagrass restoration were conducted and also at the CSIRO Marine Laboratories in Marmion, Western Australia. The data are part of the Jervis Bay Marine Ecological Study. NB - As the database has been lost, the only data still available are those published in the JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report.

This dataset contains species distribution, abundance and identity data of benthic invertebrates from Jervis Bay, NSW. Infauna samples from Posidonia australis seagrass beds were sampled at 4 sites and unvegetated subtidal sediments were obtained from 6 sites between October 1988 and July 1991. Taxa identified consisted of 248 species of arthropods, 197 species of molluscs, 171 species of polychaetes, 15 species of echinoderms and a few other animals. Results of the study has shown that the infauna of both the seagrass beds and unvegetated sediments in Jervis Bay is rich and diverse. The data are part of the Jervis Bay Marine Ecological Study. NB - As the database has been lost, the only data still available are those published in the JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report.

This dataset contains data on species distributions, productivity, reproduction and growth of mangroves and saltmarshes from Batemans Bay, NSW. The data were obtained from a variety of surveys and measurement techniques from two creeks between 1989 and 1991. The data were taken as a control site for similiar sampling in Jervis Bay. The data are part of the Jervis Bay Marine Ecological Study. NB - As the database has been lost, the only data still available are those published in the JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report.

This dataset contains species distribution, abundance and identity data of benthic invertebrates from Batemans Bay, NSW. Epifauna samples from the inter-tidal and subtidal rocky coasts around the bay were sampled twice, in November 1990 and August 1991. The data were taken as a control site for similiar sampling in Jervis Bay. The data are part of the Jervis Bay Marine Ecological Study. NB - As the database has been lost, the only data still available are those published in the JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report.

This series of 13 maps detail the marine and estuarine and habitats of Jervis Bay. The Marine Environment Research Program (CSIRO Division of Fisheries) produced this series with funding from the Department of Defence. They are based on aerial photographs and on ground-truth data collected between 1985 and 1991. Unmapped habitats and inaccurate boundaries are described briefly on each map. The maps were originally published in the Final Report, May 1994, Jervis Bay Baseline Studies, volume 3. The map titles are: Map 1 - Bowen Island to Scottish Rocks Map 2 - Bristol Point to HMAS Creswell Map 3 - Seamans Beach to Hyams Beach Map 4 - Plantation Point Map 5 - look of the - Moona Moona Creek Map 6 - Currambene Creek to Callala Beach Map 7 - Currambene Creek - Upper Map 8 - Callala Beach to Callala Point Map 9 - Callala Bay to Red Point Map 10 - Cararma Creek Map 11 - Red Point to Cararma Inlet Map 12 - Green Island to Long Beach Map 13 - Bindijine Beach to Dart Point The final original digital files have been lost. The PDF files available for download here were created from a set of Encapsulated Post Script files recovered from old Jervis Bay Baseline Studies working group data backups. These were then edited to include text detailing the unmapped habitats and inaccurate boundary information taken from the printed maps in the Final Report. Apart from some minor layout variations, these files are an accurate representation of the final published maps.
