Benthic Invertebrate Community Distribution (Impacted & Unimpacted) 2004 - 2008

This data is primarily benthic invertebrate community information including species abundance & distribution collected by diver coring/grab. Spatial information is available for D'Entrecasteaux Channel, Huon River, North West Bay and Port Esperance sites.

Associated physical chemical parameters (sediment grain size, redox, sulphide, depth) were also collected and, in most cases, includes spatial GPS references.
