Oceanographic instruments were deployed to collect data on the circulation around the Dampier Archipelago between March and May 2001.Instruments were deployed at five locations within the archipelago: Brigadier Island (ADCP): Deployed 13/3/2001; Recovered 24/5/2001.Woodside Channel Marker (ADCP): Deployed 14/3/2001; Recovered 24/5/2001. Between Lady Nora Island and Nelson Rocks (S4): Deployed 14/3/2001; Recovered 21/5/2001.Georgeff Reef (S4): Deployed 14/3/2001; Recovered 21/5/2001.Marney Bay (S4): Deployed 15/3/2001; Recovered 21/5/01.In addition to these deployments CTD transects were conducted in the area on the 16th and 20 March, 2001 and an ADCP transect was carried out on the 17th March, 2001. This research was undertaken to provide data for a model that would predict coral larval fates given appropriate forecast winds and tides. S4 current meters and ADCPs were deployed during a spawning event, concurrent with biological measurements.
