Changes in turbidity, sedimentation and light over a two year large scale capital dredging program at Onslow, northwestern Australia, were quantified to assess their effects on filter feeder communities, in particular sponges. This dataset is the dive surveys. Data sourced from cited paper and available on the Pawsey Data Portal https://data.pawsey.org.au/ - https://data.pawsey.org.au/download/WA Node Ocean Data Network/WAMSI2/Dredging/Theme6/Project_6.3
