Additional background
The Bioregional Profile summarises information detailed in a number of reports produced for marine bioregional planning in this Region. These reports have been made available to assist in better understanding the South-west Marine Region and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commonwealth or indicate its commitment to a particular course of action.
- The South-west Marine Region: Ecosystems and Key Species Groups
This comprehensive literature review was prepared in 2006 by a consortium of scientists lead by the South Australian Research and Development Institute and the University of Western Australia. - Geomorphology and Sedimentology of the South Western Planning Area of Australia
This report was prepared by Geoscience Australia. A supplementary report was also produced by Geoscience Australia in 2006. - A Socio-economic Analysis and Description of the Marine Industries of Australia's South-west Marine Region
This report presents the results of a review of marine industries information, which was conducted in 2005 by the Institute for Regional Development at the University of Western Australia. - Characterisation of the marine environment of the South-west Marine Region
This Report outlines the discussions and outcomes of a two-day science workshop convened in Perth in Western Australia, on the 27-28 September 2006. The outcomes of the workshop were used as the basis for the description of the ecological characteristics of the Region, contained in Chapter 2 of the Bioregional Profile, as well as for identifying the list of key ecological features identified in Chapter 3.
