APRIL 2014 AUS-ROV FILM TRANSECTS TO CONDUCT SPECIES IDENTIFICATION SURVEY OF THE AUSTRALIAN COASTLINE FROM MIAMI TO SOUTHPORT ON QUEENSLAND'S GOLD COAST

AUS-ROV recently won a contract to provide ROV services for a local benthic habitat survey. The project involved mobilising a survey vessel and ROV to the inshore waters of Gold Coast from Miami up to Southport. Areas of interest included Mermaid Reef, Narrowneck Artificial Reef and the Wreck of the Scottish Prince located just out front of Marina Mirage in Southport. The survey included 24 x 100m transects and a 'fly over' narrowneck reef and the Scottish Prince. We can assure you that the inshore waters of the Gold Coast are alive and flourishing with an immense diversity of flora and fauna.
