Name, Brief Description and owner: Baited Remote Underwater stereo-Video (BRUV) systems (6 in total) were used. All equipment (BRUVs, weights, cameras, lights, ropes, etc.) belonged to UWA Relevant component details: make, model, serial number, firmware version, settings: Stereo‐BRUV systems consisted of a frame, protecting 2 convergent video cameras inside waterproof housings (plus one rear-facing video camera) and 2 lights (one forward-facing and one rear-facing), attached to a base bar, with a baited container fixed in front of the cameras. Systems were tethered by rope to surface buoys to facilitate relocation and retrieval. Weights were added to frames due to the current and depth in the area. Cameras used: 2 x Canon HG 25 (forward facing) with the follow settings: • Focus: Manual (3.0m) • Rec Program: P) • Image stabilizer: OFF • Facial recognition: OFF • Recording mode: MXP • Frame rate: PF25 1 x GoPro Hero 3+ (backwards facing), taking photos every 60 seconds. Cameras were calibrated at UWA prior to and at the conclusion of the field trip, using SeaGIS software Cal. Contains files: 8.01.*.avi to 12.11.*.avi

Dugongs (Dugong dugon) are listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened species and as other specially protected fauna in WA under Schedule 7 of the Wildlife Conservation (Specially Protected Fauna) Notice 2015). Gaps in our knowledge in Western Australia include having a good understanding of the species’ distribution, abundance and high use areas across the northwest. This 3-year project (2014-2017) integrated Indigenous knowledge and scientific observations from field surveys to better understand the distribution, abundance and movements of dugong in the Kimberley region. The data collected also provides a baseline for future monitoring and management. This medata record relates to raw and processed aerial survey data of marine fauna collected between 21st September 2015 and 8th October 2015 in Kimberley coastal waters to the 20m bathymetry line, comprising dugongs (Dugong dugon), Australian snubfin dolphins (Orcaella heinsohni), other dolphins (bottlenose, spinners, false killer whales), humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) and large, mostly green turtles (Chelonia mydas). The WA Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions (DBCA, ex-DPaW) and CSIRO provided additional resources to extend the North Kimberley dugong aerial survey boundary westwards (Broome to just past Port Hedland) to cover the South Kimberley-Pilbara coastal regions, to close the last remaining knowledge gap of the dugong distribution and abundance in Australia. This additional survey was completed in May 2017. Data from a trial movement study undertaken between 1-18th August 2016 also forms part of this metadata record. Five dugongs were tagged with Telonics manatee/dugong tags. GPS and ARGOS satellite detection locations and dive data were downloaded weekly from the ARGOS web site.
