Abstract:

Abiotic data were collected to assess the environmental conditions that coincided with the 2016 mass bleaching event documented at Shell island (Shenton Bluff), Cygnet Bay, Kimberley region, northwestern Australia. Temperature is of particular importance because heat stress is one of the key drivers of coral bleaching. Water temperature was recorded every 15 min by HOBO U22 v2 temperature loggers (±0.2°C) in both intertidal and subtidal environments from September 2015 until October 2016.

Keyword(s):

Event(s):

Shell_Island_intertidal * Latitude: -16.479389 * Longitude: 123.044806 * Location: Australia * Method/Device: Field experiment * Comment: The sampling depth is relative due to the high tidal range (8m) at this location. On average the intertidal has an average depth of ~3m.

Shell_Island_subtidal * Latitude: -16.479667 * Longitude: 123.043500 * Location: Australia * Method/Device: Field experiment * Comment: The sampling depth is relative due to the high tidal range (8m) at this location. On average the subtidal has an average depth of ~4m.
