The NRS Rottnest Island Mooring (IMOS platform code: NRSROT) is one of a series of national reference stations designed to monitor particular oceanographic phenomena in Australian coastal ocean waters. The mooring is located at Latitude:-32, Longitude: 115.416.

Physical sampling will be undertaken at each of the reference stations on a monthly basis. The physical samples will be analysed for nutrients, plankton species, both visibly and genetically, and pCO2. Biological sampling will greatly improve Australia's capability to meet its obligations for ecosystem based management and allow many researchers the opportunity to investigate possible long term changes in ecology that are likely to be linked to climate variability and wide scale validation of remotely sensed (satellite) observations of plant biomass.
