Baited Remote Underwater Videos (BRUVs) were captured in the Cobourg Marine Park from 1-12 December, 2016. Deployments were spaced more than 400m apart, two within the multiple use management zone at Airport Beach and one outside the park at Orontes Reef. A total of 77 videos were captured at 60min periods. One video was excluded from analysis due to severely obstructed view. Benthic habitat was analysed via a screen shot of the video, processed by online software BenthoBox to provide percentage cover based on the Catami classification system. Relative abundance of Elasmobranch species were identified using EventMeasure. MaxN was defined as the maximum number of one species seen in the field of vie at one time per deployment.
