Description: 
The CSIRO stereo towed video unit ready for deployment in Flinders Marine Park in the shelf and upper slope. Depth ranges surveyed were from shallow inshore (40 m ) to upper slope (400 m) and surveys were over previously mapped areas (shelf areas by the NERP Hub) and slope areas by the National Facility. The video unit collected high definition stereo video for size estimation and habitat description, while a higher resolution single still camera was used for optimal identification of benthic species.
