Side scan sonar acoustic surveys in Ningaloo Marine Park, Western Australia (WAMSI Node 3 Project 1 Subproject 3.1.1)

Created 24/06/2017

Updated 09/10/2017

The Klein Side Scan Sonar system is used in a wide variety of underwater search, survey, and engineering applications. These systems employ acoustic energy and electronics to create a continuous graphical record of the sea floor surface topography. The graphical record produced by this system approximates an aerial photograph of the sea floor surface. Klein System 3000 side scan sonar surveys were concentrated between the areas of Gnarloo and Red Bluff and were conducted in two parts. The first part of the survey covered a total swath area of 21,871,725.4m2 and a total track line length of 117,861.1m parallel to the coast from Red Bluff to Gnaraloo. The second part of the survey covered a total swath area of 11,979,623.5m2 and a total track line length of 70,108m and ran perpendicular to the coast in two areas in between Red Bluff and Gnaraloo.
