Barossa Environmental Baseline Study: Shoals and Shelf Survey 2015

This report presents final results from seabed biodiversity surveys of benthos and associated fish, but the Australian Institute of Marine Science in collaboration with ConocoPhillips that were undertaken as part of the Barossa marine studies program. The surveys, conducted in October 2015, sampled five principle locations of regional interest, consisting of Evans, Tassie and Blackwood Shoals, the closest shoals to the Barossa field, as well as two mid-shelf seabed locations adjacent to Goodrich Bank and Cape Helvetius, relevant to a potential gas export pipeline route.
