Report on Cockburn Sound Field Survey March 2004: Coastal Water Habitat Mapping Project - Coastal Geomorphology and Classification Subproject Milestone Report CG3-02

This report describes the field survey carried out in Cockburn Sound, Western Australia by Geoscience Australia (GA) staff for the Coastal Geomorphology and Classification Subproject (CG) of the Coastal Water Habitat Mapping Project (CWHM). It documents the various sampling techniques and procedures used to collect surface and subsurface samples from the Sound; details of the vibracores and grab samples recovered and the proposed analyses to be performed on these samples.


The results of the analysis of the grab samples will be used to classify the various surface sediment types encountered as well as map their distribution within Cockburn Sound. The analysis and interpretation of the vibracores will allow the reconstruction of the stratigraphic framework of Cockburn Sound. This information will be used in conjunction with the findings of the other subprojects in the CWHM Project. For example, it will assist in ground-truthing the results of the both the single and multi-beam sonar surveys that have and are to be carried out within Cockburn Sound by Curtin University. It will also provide key substrate information for incorporation into a more comprehensive benthic habitat classification for the sound.
