AUSTEn Clarence Strait Moorings
The AUStralian Tidal Energy (AUSTEn) project was a three year project (2018 - 2020) funded by the Australian Renewable Energy National Agency (agreement number G00902) led by the Australian Maritime College (University of Tasmania), in partnership with CSIRO and University of Queensland. The project had a strong industry support (Atlantis Resources Limited, MAKO Tidal Turbines Ltd, Spiral Energy Corporation Ltd). The aim of the project was to assess the technical and economic feasibility of tidal energy in Australia, based on the best understanding of resource achievable. For further information and output of the project, please visit the AUSTEn project website www.austen.org.au.

- Statement
- Deployment of ADCPs on tripod moorings equiped with acoustic releases and pop up buoys for further retrieval. ADCPs were configured to measure currents and waves. The moorings were deployed using an acoustic release, dropped with care on the seabed during slack tide. Retrieval was also performed during slack tide. Deployment of temperature sensors on a mooring with surface buoy (rope from a weight on the seabed to a surface float). Deployment was done by dropping the surface float in the water, then letting the rope go and finally pushing the weight off the back of the vessel. GPS positions were recorded using a Garmin hand held GPS and confirmed by the vessel's GPS.
