Supplementary report to the final report of the coral reef expert group: S8. Monitoring site planner - choosing where to monitor coral reefs on the Great Barrier Reef

Abstract

[Extract] In this project we develop a multi-criteria analysis and optimisation tool, called the Monitoring Site Planner, to assist in the evaluation of the existing and new proposed coral reef monitoring programs for the Great Barrier Reef (the Reef). This tool allows the performance of a given monitoring survey design (a set of reefs that will be monitored) to be evaluated against a set of performance criteria. This tool can be run as an interactive web application that is available for use from https://tools.eatlas.org.au/msp.An accessible copy of this report is not yet available from this repository, please contact elibrary@gbrmpa.gov.au for more information.
