Abstract
The Western Margin survey (GA survey #2476) was conducted on the R.V. Sonne between 25 October 2008 and 19 January 2009 in collaboration with staff from the Western Australia Geological Survey and the University of the Sea. The voyage was operated through the Offshore Energy Security Program, with the principal aims of acquiring geological, geophysical, oceanographic, and biological data over poorly known areas of Australia's western continental margin. A total of 44 video transects were surveyed, with an associated 6,229 still photographs acquired from water depth of 831-4,827 m. Video was recorded to mini DV tapes, and copied to digital format. Video snippets were also created of representative habitats for some stations. Video and image files or associated parent folders are named according to station number, followed by gear code (CAM = OFOS camera which collected still images and video, GR = BODO grab which collected black and white video) and then the deployment number. For example 36GR19 represents a video transect from Station 36 that was the 19th video transect from the BODO grab on the survey. For further information on this survey please refer to the post-survey report (GA Record 2009/38 - Geocat #69606) and GA Record 2009/26 (Geocat #69358).
