Project Details:
The Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) was an initiative designed to enhance the net conservation benefits of the globally-significant coral reef ecosystems of the Pilbara (Western Australia) by providing an assessment of the condition and trajectory of key ecological values. These assessments were designed to inform and complement existing governance and management arrangements and the PMCP is intended to provide ongoing advice and assessment for conservation efforts in the region, providing lasting benefits.
The PMCP concept is based on three core ecological components, namely:
Coral Reef Health - concentrating mainly on habitat forming primary producers.
Fish and Sharks - their community structure, interactions and impacts on lower trophic levels.
Environmental Pressures - physical and anthropogenic factors that influence the condition of reefs and associated biota.

[common]
All data sets collated as part of the Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) are stored within iVEC using data storage from Research Data Storage Infrastructure (RDSI).
Please refer to the published literature for a detailed description of project methodology.
[dataset specific]
The sounding data where collected as per the reference paper. The values were extrated by Dirk Slawinski and checked against coarse GA bathymetry. Some points were found to be erroneous and the authors have been contacted with the details.
