Department of Transport, Western Australia’s Post

The first data from seabed mapping targeting erosion hotspots in the Gascoyne and along the southern coast is now available for use in the State Government's multifaceted $33.5 million five-year plan to better manage and protect WA’s coastline. As part of the Coast Capture WA program, the Department of Transport has contracted Fugro, a Geo-data company, to undertake a project to map from Esperance to Barrow Island. The project will provide some key missing pieces to the existing bank of topographic and bathymetric data currently available for the State's coastline and further build the dataset to ensure the most appropriate response measures to erosion are applied. 📷 3D mapping of Ningaloo and Coral Bay.
