An initial baseline habitat survey was completed. Monitoring at this reserve targets subtidal estuarine demersal fish species and intertidal soft sediment benthic communities associated with soft substrates (unconsolidated) – mud, sand, gravels, cobbles in coastal or estuarine environments; and intertidal soft sediment benthic communities. Sampling frequency = irregular. Depths sampled: 0-20m. Methods used to collect data:BUV/DUV, transect, photograph.
