Great Barrier Reef Coral Bleaching Response Program summer 2006-2007 (OUTDATED).

Abstract

This plan has been developed to complement other monitoring programmes and to facilitate data exchange and synthesis. The bleaching survey design uses the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) Long-term Monitoring Programme protocol and field sites. The broadscale synoptic surveys are carried out in collaboration with the remote sensing group at the University of Queensland and CSIRO. In-situ temperature data is accessed through collaboration with the AIMS sea temperature monitoring programme.
