1 QIMOS Richard Brinkman and Russ Babcock on behalf of the node Feb 2015

2 Current state of QIMOS array Northern GBR _ Lizard Island Sensor net Coral sea gliders 2 missions p.a. Few and Sparse - Very limited continental shelf footprint - Few near real-time data streams - 1 mooring for SEQ - soon to be more - No fixed off-reef observations north of central GBR Central GBR Palm Passage / Myrmidon moorings Orpheus Island Sensor net Yongala NRS ATTAMS Southern GBR Heron Island moorings Capricorn Radar Heron + One tree Sensor net ATTAMS Slocum gliders 4 missions p.a 2 - IMOS 2014 Annual Planning - QIMOS Broadscale CPR SOOP Tropical RV NSI NRS ATTAMS CPR, AUV SEQ

3 Highlights indicators of system state Plankton indicators North Stradbroke Is. NRS Blooms any time SOE Reports?? Richardson

4 Highlights indicators of system state Plankton indicators Yongala NRS Decline? Increase? More jellyfish activity Richardson

5 Highlights Variation in zooplankton communities: Richardson

6 Highlights Variation in zooplankton communities: related to SST and longitude Richardson

7 Highlights Comprehensive range of tagged animals Reef sharks (grey reef, blacktip reef, tiger, silvertip, etc) Coastal sharks (blacktip, hammerhead, bull, etc) Reef fish (coral trout, red emperor, red throat emperor, parrotfish, Spanish mackerel, giant trevally, etc) Coastal fish (barramundi, mangrove jack, golden trevally, etc) Rays (shovelnose rays, stingrays, manta rays) Dugong, sea snakes, marine turtles

8 and a comprehensive receiver array Lizard Island - JCU Low Isles- JCU Orpheus Island AATAMS + JCU Cleveland Bay/AIMS wharf JCU + AIMS + AATAMS Townsville Reefs - AIMS Cap Bunkers AATAMS + AIMS Townsville reefs array Lady Elliot Island - UQ Heupel Moreton Bay- JCU + UQ + AIMS + CSIRO Capricorn Bunker array

9 Highlights Predator Connectivity Bull shark tagging Heupel et al Frontiers in Marine Science

10 Highlights Environmental drivers of shark movements Grey reef shark Blacktip reef shark Tiger shark Heupel and Simpfendorfer Marine Ecology Progress Series

11 Logan River Bull shark Sharks react quickly to abrupt changes in salinity, but acclimate and return upriver relatively quickly, possibly after achieving osmoregulation Babcock Richard Pillans CSIRO TERN Collaboration

12 Highlights Integration of multiple IMOS data streams

13 Highlights ereefs : transition to operation Data and visualisation services Data Products Research components A N N A L M I Regional models Ocean Colour Catchment forecasts Relocatable coastal models

14 Highlights The ereefs Marine Water Quality Dashboard: Uptake of Ocean Colour Science by BoM

15 Highlights Maturation of ereefs models

16 Highlights ereefs model developments optics model/da Simulated true colour Baird et al.

17 Highlights ereefs model developments Data Assimilation Hydro model re-analysis utilises all available IMOS data for reanalysis period Observing System Design Strategies Jones et al Anomaly fields used for Ensemble Optimal Interpolation can be used to assess the footprint and ability of a regional observing system to constrain model variable. Maximum absolute correlation (Chl-a) of the GBR Observing System moorings that have (or had) water quality meters.

18 Highlights Informing targeted catchment management plans to improve coastal water quality an application of numerical models and marine observing systems. Zones of influence for rivers modelled in the Wet Tropics region

19 Highlights ereefs + IMOS data streams provide open boundary forcing for Gladstone harbour model(s) supporting data needs for regional report card. Herzfeld, Andrewartha, Condie

20 Difficulties Cairns Lizard Slope (360m) Lizard Shelf (30m) contraction of shelf array & wireless sensor network following cessation of $1M pa cash co-investment from QLD Govt Myrmidon Reef (200m) Palm Passage (65m) Townsville Yongala NRS (30m) Capricorn Channel (90m) Elusive Reef (300m) Heron North (46m) Heron South (46m) One Tree East (60m)

21 Difficulties Realising operational efficiencies across facilities e.g. Shared servicing trips for AATAMS and FAIMMS Heron and One Tree Island arrays Limited engagement with other Universities Limited but improving use of IMOS data streams for industry (Ports focused Yongala NRS 40nm from Port of Abbot Pt ) Make stakeholders aware of dependence on IMOS important for transition to operation of ereefs models

22 Difficulties Yongala NRS mooring came adrift in September and is looking to be redeployed in March 2015 NSI NRS mooring adrift, but recovered at Lord Howe.

23 Opportunities Reef Integrated Monitoring & Reporting Program (RIMRep) Outcome of strategic assessment Part of Reef 2050 No new funding investigate potential funding models and make the case for funding as the program develops.

24 Reef 2050 Long-Term Sustainability Plan Vision Outcomes Objectives Targets Actions Water Quality Ecosystem Health Biodiversity Heritage Community Benefits Economic Benefits Governance Integrated monitoring and reporting program

25 RIMRep - What is the focus? Integration of marine monitoring in the GBR region and, where appropriate, linking this to catchment monitoring to: Ensure a clear line of sight from monitoring to management targets, objectives and outcomes in the Reef 2050 LTSP Standardisation across different monitoring programs that are monitoring similar attributes/variables combine where appropriate Unify monitoring through a Driver, Pressure, State, Impact Response framework cause and effect

26 Opportunities NESP - Tropical Water Quality Hub coastal water quality and coastal management focused on the Great Barrier Reef and other tropical waters integration in coastal zone and improved coastal observing. strategies for remote locations/ indigenous engagement Geographical focus on Torres Strait and GBR; Gulf of Carpentaria?

27 Opportunities NESP - Tropical Water Quality Hub Strong end-user engagement TS example NERP Sensor Net Data Kiosk Bainbridge

28 Ports and Shipping Gladstone Harbour and approaches covered by CBG radar data Opportunities Yongala NRS Abbott Point coal port and site for potential expansion; previously planned dredge dump site marked by red arrow. Potential coverage with 80km SeaSonde in gray.

29 QLD Government Opportunities desire for regional/local report carding data sparse, value models (but not so much the data requirements) Accelerate QLD Grants - uncertain? improved autonomous monitoring and prediction of GBR water (QLD based glider + augmented logger program incl Nutrients)

30 Glider Envy n = ~15 Glider deployments n = lots n =25 Glider deployments

31 ereefs data needs for improved confidence and ongoing simulation Calibration Validation Forcing NESP Flood plume dynamics + nutrient pathways Shelf scale long-term sediment dynamics Marine Monitoring Program Redesign/augment for improved integration of data into ereefs models Q-IMOS plus Improved autonomous monitoring and prediction of GBR water (QLD based glider + augmented logger program Nutrients + Observing system evaluation experiment) State Govt environmental baselines for Northern GBR State Govt regionally specific WQ data to support automated regional report cards Integration with QLD state Obs, MMP

32 IMOS is a national research infrastructure, supported by Australian Govern It is led by University of Tasmania in partnership with the Australian marine and climate science community. The Operators of the IMOS infrastructure are:
