These data were collected as part of a National Environmental Research Program (NERP) Marine Biodiversity Hub project (Theme 1 National Monitoring Evaluation and Reporting, Project 2 Analysis of approaches for monitoring biodiversity in Commonwealth Waters) undertaken in the Solitary Islands Region in August 2012. The Solitary Islands Key Ecological Feature (KEF) field survey had two broad objectives: 1) deploy and demonstrate various non-destructive field methods and 2) compare sampling patterns. These data comprise those collected using stereo-Baited Remote Underwater Video (stereo-BRUV). Four sixty minute stereo-BRUV drop replicates were deployed at two sites at each of five locations: 40 Acres Reef, Split Bommie, Patch, South and Relic Reef. There were 40 drops in total (4 x 2 x 5). An additional 23 drops were deployed at one of the locations (40 Acres Reef) to examine spatial autocorrelation.
