Physical, chemical and biological properties of waters over coral reefs at Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef (LIMER II Expedition, September 1977)

Waters associated with the main reef complex at Lizard Island, North Queensland were studied during September 1977 as a component of the second "Lizard Island Metabolic Exchange on Reefs" (LIMER II) expedition.

Two approaches were taken: a) Nutrient Transects; water sampling for biological and nutrient analyses was carried out along fixed transects (one leeward reef, one windward reef) on which radar-reflecting buoys were set up marking boundaries between major benthic zones and b) Hydrology Transects; temperature, salinity and oxygen data was determined to describe water structure.
