Four locations along the Kimberley coast were video and depth surveyed to describe the substratum type, biohabitat type and the bathymetry of the seabed. Video and depth data was collected between 9 - 29 June 2008 from the vicinity of Gourdon Bay, Quondong – Coulomb Point, Perpendicular Head and Packer Island. Five supplementary transect lines, perpendicular to the shoreline, were also identified between the four locations. These were able to be surveyed when the vessels were in transit. This video data was analysed to generate substrate and biohabitat distribution maps to be used by the Northern Development Taskforce as part of a selection process to rank the suitability of a range of locations for a proposed common-user liquefied natural gas hub precinct.
