Data Visualisation

You can analyse and investigate the survey data using these interactive data visualisation tools.

Interested in seeing where a species is most abundant? Use this tool to see how many times a species has been found on your local beach, harbour or region. This can be handy for tracking how a population is changing over time and compare it against other regions or other species in the area.

Abundance
Abundance is measured by two metrics depending on the classification of the species. For plants & encrusting animals, this is measure by percentage (%) of the area covered per m². For animal species, abundance is measured by quantity per m².
Change in Abundance over time
Abundance is the average number of animals during each
period of time
Change in Coverage over time
Coverage (%) is the average value of plants & encrusting animals during each
period of time
Change in Diversity over time
Diversity is the Shannon-Wiener Index for each location selected
Average Coverage (%)
  • Algae, Blue-Green
  • Anemone, Burrowing
