Dive field surveys of site impacted by dredging, Onslow, Western Australia (2013-2015)

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.
