The primary objective of the survey was to undertake approximately 24hrs of Multibeam Echo Sounder (MBES) surveying to quantitatively map parts of the seafloor within the West Cape York Marine Park to build knowledge of the values of the park and to provide data that can inform future, targeted bathymetric and biological surveys. In this survey we comprehensively mapped Carpentaria Shoal and ran additional survey lines to the south of Carpentaria Shoal.
