Surveys were conducted at 14 inshore reef sites in the West of Wedge region of Storm Bay (encompassing Betsey Island and the western coastline of Tasman Peninsula) from 2019 to 2021. Surveys were undertaken along transects on the 5 m depth contour following the Edgar-Barrett methodology for underwater visual census. This method documents reef biodiversity for all fish, invertebrate and algal communities within a site. COVID interruptions to fieldwork meant that four sites due for completion in 2020 were delayed to 2021.
