Solenosmilia matrix annotations and VME habitat identification in video from voyage IN2018_V06, Australia (2018)

Citation

Description

Benthic video collected during the MNF Investigator voyage IN2018_V06, sampling seamounts off Tasmania, were annotated for the matrix-forming stony coral Solenosmilia variabilis (Metadata description in MarLIN). The present data set is a sub-set of the collection, processed for analyses presented in Williams et al. 2020, Frontiers in Marine Science (doi: 10.3389/fmars.2020.00187), where a method of identifying Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem (VME) habitats was applied and tested, using these data.
