Aerial surveys of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) from Eddystone Point to Southeast Cape, Tasmania, 2009

An aerial survey was conducted for giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) on the east coast of Tasmania from Eddystone Point to Southeast Cape. This survey represents part of a series of similar surveys, with historic aerial surveys having been conducted in 1986 and 1999. The survey was conducted via light aircraft. Areas of visable Macrocystis pyrifera beds were marked on topographical land tenure maps using landmarks as references, and complimentary photo footage was collected.

Statement
Aerial surveys were conducted in 2009. Surveys were carried out from light aircraft with the doors removed on the one side. Areas of canopy were photographed and scribed onto topographic maps. Canopy areas were digitised with reference to photos and map data. Each bed was attributed a density estimate (sparse, medium dense).
