Fisheries management is increasingly involving a wide range of stakeholders in the decision making process. An implicit assumption in these management structures is that stakeholder representatives present a unified view, and that these views combine to derive optimal management decisions that best satisfy all stakeholders. In this paper, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to determine the objective preference structure of stakeholder representatives involved in Australian Commonwealth fisheries management. The results indicate that there is generally low coherence within stakeholder groups, suggesting that management decision making is a function more of the set of individuals than the stakeholder groups they represent. The stakeholders represented were from policy and management, science, industry, environment, economics, social science and recreation.

This dataset contains geoscientific data logged during TELVE cruise (SS02/03) on RV Southern Surveyor 14.3-3.4.2003 in Tonga and Eastern Lau Basin. These data include logged station coordinates and information for dredges, CTD/hydrocasts, echosounder and camera/video operations and geological samples. The TELVE expedition completed 70 dredges, 31 tow-yos, 14 vertical hydrocasts, 9 echo-sounding traces, 2 camera tows, and 1 drogue test. The major scientific objectives of the cruise were a study of the hydrothermal plume activity of the Tofua Arc and adjacent Valu Fa back arc Ridge coupled with sampling of the sea floor with grabs and dredges. Sampling was conducted along the axis of the Valu Fa Ridge, the Tofua Arc between about 21o 30” and 24o 10’S, and one transverse hydrothermal cast from the backarc to arc region at ~ 22o 30’S was done. More specifically, objectives of the voyage were: 1.Perform a continuous along-axis survey for hydrothermal activity along the three segments of the Valu Fa back arc spreading ridge. 2. To the extent possible, conduct a systematic survey for hydrothermal activity along the S. Tonga arc adjacent to the Valu Fa Ridge. 3. Compare (for the first time) the incidence and chemistry of hydrothermal emissions along the adjacent back arc ridge and volcanic arc sections. 4. Coordinate results of back arc ridge survey with RIDGE 2000 investigators slated to perform similar surveys further north on Lau back arc spreading ridges.

This dataset contains geoscientific data logged during SHAARC cruise (FR04/00) on RV Franklin 5-24.5.2000 in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands. These data include logged station coordinates and information for dredges, sediment grabs and cores, CTD/hydrocasts and echosounder operations. The SHAARC research team conducted a multi-disciplinary investigation (volcanology, petrology, geochemistry and economic geology) of submarine volcanic-hydrothermal systems in island arc regions of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. The team carried out 3 primary scientific activities: (i) Volcanology/Petrology (ii) Hydrothermal Deposits/Geochemistry (iii) Marine Chemistry/Hydrothermal Fluids Although volcanism and associated hydrothermal activity on mid-ocean ridges (MOR) and some back-arc basins have been the focus of many detailed studies over the past decade, only a few submarine arcs and fore-arc regions have received much attention. FR04/00 investigations of the New Ireland-Solomon Islands convergent margin will generate a better understanding of the fundamental geological processes of submarine arc volcanism, including hydrothermal activity and the formation of economic concentrations of ore minerals. These data will be compared to and contrasted with hydrothermal activity occurring at divergent plate boundary volcanism.

This dataset contains the processed Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) data collected on Australia's Marine National Facility (MNF) RV Franklin between 1986 and 2002. XBT data typically comprises temperature and depth readings relayed to the surface at intervals of 0.1 seconds as the probe passes through the top few hundred metres of the ocean. This dataset has been QCed by the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research's (CMAR's) Ocean Observing Networks (OON) group. The data can be retrieved via CMAR Data Trawler, please see link below. The data is also available via the international National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) Global Temperature-Salinity Profile Program (GTSPP) (Franklin platform code: 09FA and call sign: VJJF) and Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN).

The subset extracted for MARVL contains data on the continental shelf as defined by the 200 metre depth contour from the 2012 Bathymetric dataset merged (spatial union) with the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the Australian Maritime Boundary dataset (http://www.ga.gov.au/metadata-gateway/metadata/record/gcat_63565) available from Geosciences Australia (GA). This subset of the data contains 47 XBT station records from 15 voyages and includes temperature, pressure and salinity (derived) and spans from 1995 to the present. The full data set is held in the O&A Information & Datacentre Data Warehouse, which currently holds over 724 XBT station records from more than 72 surveys collected since 1985.
