Executive Summary

This baseline report outlines the initial findings of the Intertidal Benthos Monitoring Program undertaken

between June 2012 and August 2012 as per the methodology outlined in the Ichthys Project Nearshore

Environmental Monitoring Plan (NEMP) (Cardno 2012). As part of the NEMP, sampling was undertaken to

characterise the baseline (pre-dredging) conditions of the infaunal assemblages and physical parameters

associated with the intertidal mudflats within Darwin Harbour Inner.

The key objectives of the broader informative intertidal benthos monitoring program are to:

> Investigate the potential effects of dredging and dredge spoil disposal on the abundance and diversity of

soft bottom infauna and epifauna communities;

> Determine how intertidal assemblages relate to physical sediment characteristics (Particle Size

Distribution (PSD), pH and Oxidation Redox Potential (ORP)) before dredging/spoil disposal compared to

during and after and how this effects abundance and diversity of soft bottom communities; and

> Follow the subsequent recovery of any infauna and epifauna that may be impacted and relate this to

depth of sedimentation, nature of sediment and ORP.

Specific objectives of the Baseline Phase monitoring were to:

> Determine the amount of spatial and temporal variability at the scale of locations and sites and between

Treatments (i.e. Impact and Control sites);

> Determine how intertidal assemblages relate to physical sediment characteristics (e.g. PSD, pH and

ORP); and

> Assess the power of the sampling design in terms of detection limits for investigating before, during and

after dredging impacts.

Two baseline surveys were carried out in June 2012 (Baseline survey 1 - B1) and July/August 2012

(Baseline survey 2 - B2), during the Darwin dry season and prior to any dredging and spoil disposal

activities. Sediment core samples were collected from 18 sites extending across the intertidal mudflats in

Darwin Harbour Inner, with two locations (A and B) within each site. Cores were collected from a barge

during neap tides using a hand held stainless steel corer mounted on a pole. Biological samples were rinsed

over a 0.5 mm mesh sieve on board the vessel and preserved for later analyses. Biological specimens were

then transported to a laboratory, sorted from the sediments, counted and identified. Core samples were also

collected and analysed for PSD by a National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accredited

laboratory and readings taken in situ for pH and ORP using hand held probes.

A total of 5,050 individual animals comprised of 105 taxa were recorded from B1 and 4,346 individuals

comprised of 93 taxa were recorded from B2. In both surveys, a diverse range of taxa were collected

including (in order of abundance) polychaete worms (from a variety of families), crustaceans (including

isopods, amphipods, cumaceans, crabs and burrowing shrimp), molluscs (gastropods, bivalves and

opisthobranchs), echinoderms (ophiuroids and holothuroids) and other worm taxa such as nematodes,

nemerteans, oligochaetes, phoronids, platyhelminthes and sipunculids. Other groups recorded included

anemones, hydrozoans, sponges and pycnogonids (sea spiders). Infaunal assemblages sampled from

Impact and Control sites did not vary significantly from each other within or between surveys, although

variation at the scale of sites (i.e. kilometres) and locations (i.e. tens of metres) was significant, suggesting

some smaller scale variation.

Sediments generally consisted of a high proportion of clay and silt (ranging from 4.5% to 58%) with varying

amounts of fine sand and small proportions of gravel at some sites. Sediment pH ranged between 6.99 and

7.83, which might be expected for relatively undisturbed marine sediments. Mean ORP ranged between -

193 mV and 234 mV, although sediments at the majority of sites were strongly reducing during both B1 and

B2, likely due to the high proportion of clay, fines and organic material. No clear relationship between any of

the physical parameters and the infaunal assemblages was evident. Due to the lack of correlation of OPR

values, faunal assemblages and small scale variability, it is unlikely that changes in ORP values would be

indicative of dredging related impacts.

Results of the Baseline Phase surveys indicate that the spatial and temporal replication of the sampling

design is robust enough to detect a 20% to 30% change in the infaunal assemblage that may occur as a

result of dredging related activity and therefore reinforces the confidence that the objectives of the

informative sampling program can be met. These confidence limits are also likely to be improved once

further data has been collected throughout the course of the monitoring program.

1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

INPEX is the operator of the Ichthys Gas Field Development Project (the Project). The Project comprises the

development of offshore production facilities at the Ichthys Field in the Browse Basin, some 820 km west-

south-west of Darwin, an 889 km long subsea gas export pipeline (GEP) and an onshore processing facility

and product loading jetty at Blaydin Point on Middle Arm Peninsula in Darwin Harbour. To support the

nearshore infrastructure at Blaydin Point, dredging works will be carried out to extend safe shipping access

from near East Arm Wharf to the new product loading facilities at Blaydin Point, which will be supported by

piles driven into the sediment. A trench will also be dredged to seat and protect the GEP for the Darwin

Harbour portion of its total length. Dredged material will be disposed at the spoil ground located

approximately 12 km north-west of Lee Point.

1.2 Background

The dredging works comprise the removal and disposal of approximately 14.6 Mm3 of material. The dredged

material will be disposed at a spoil disposal site located approximately 12 km north-west of Lee Point. The

dredging works will be undertaken in stages beginning with dredging using backhoe dredging at the MOF at

Blaydin Point.

A detailed description of the dredging and spoil disposal methodology is provided in Section 2 of the

Dredging and Spoil Disposal Management Plan (DSDMP) for East Arm (INPEX 2012). This methodology,

along with the model predictions for the Zones of Moderate Impact (ZoMI) and Zones of Influence (ZoI)

(Section 6.5.1 of the DSDMP) have been considered and guided the development of the Intertidal Benthos

Monitoring Program.

This report outlines the findings of the Intertidal Benthos Monitoring Program undertaken during the Baseline

Phase (pre-dredging) as per the methodology outlined in the NEMP (Cardno 2012). It includes results and

analyses of sampling that has been carried out to date, an outline of the methods and Quality Assurance

procedures that were adopted and a discussion of the outcomes of the baseline monitoring phase. Baseline

surveys were carried out during the Darwin dry season between 12 and 17 June 2012 (Baseline survey 1 -

B1) and 28 July 2012 to 1 August 2012 (Baseline survey 2 - B2).

The monitoring program focused on the benthic infauna (aquatic animals that live within the soft sediments of

the seabed) associated with intertidal mudflat habitat, which is estimated to cover an area of approximately

56,000 ha of Darwin Harbour (Mckinnon et al. 2006). In tropical macrotidal estuaries such as Darwin

Harbour, infaunal assemblages generally contain burrowing organisms such as polychaete worms,

amphipod crustaceans, bivalve and gastropod molluscs and other worm-like phyla such as nemerteans and

nematodes (which are often abundant). These animals are an important source of food for wading birds and

fish that live in the harbour and also help in nutrient cycling through reworking of the sediments. The

composition of infaunal assemblages is expected to vary both annually and seasonally, in relation to the

intensity of the wet season and recruitment success (Metcalfe and Glasby 2008). Infaunal assemblages also

vary largely on the type of sediment they are associated with (Brown and McLachlan 2006). Changes to

sediment PSD or physico-chemical properties of the sediments are therefore likely to affect the composition

of assemblages that are found there. Physical parameters measured as part of this program included

sediment PSD, pH and ORP, which are useful indicators of change, potentially related to dredging/spoil

disposal activity.

Dredging activity within the main harbour is not expected to result in the direct removal of intertidal habitat

(and associated infauna) outside of the dredging footprint (Figure 2-1). Re-suspension and accretion of fine

sediments mobilised during dredging works may, however, alter the physical characteristics of intertidal

mudflats within the harbour potentially affecting the composition and functioning of infaunal assemblages

(Birklund and Wijsman 2005).



1.3 Aims and Objectives

The aim of the Intertidal Benthos Monitoring Program is to assess the effects of sedimentation from dredging

activities within the harbour on benthic infauna associated with intertidal soft sediment habitat. Key

objectives include:

> Investigate the potential effects of dredging and dredge spoil disposal on the abundance and diversity of

soft bottom infauna and epifauna communities;

> Determine how intertidal assemblages relate to physical sediment characteristics (Particle Size

Distribution (PSD), pH and Oxidation Redox Potential (ORP)) before dredging/spoil disposal compared to

during and after and how this effects abundance and diversity of soft bottom communities; and

> Follow the subsequent recovery of any infauna and epifauna that may be impacted and relate this to

depth of sedimentation, nature of sediment and ORP.

Specific objectives of the Baseline Phase are to:

> Determine the amount of spatial and temporal variability at the scale of locations and sites and between

treatments (i.e. Impact and Control sites);

> Determine how intertidal assemblages relate to physical sediment characteristics (e.g. PSD, pH and

ORP); and

> Assess the power of the sampling design in terms of detection limits for investigating before, during and

after dredging impacts.



2 Methodology

2.1 Sampling Locations

Intertidal benthos sampling sites are shown in Figure 2-1. A total of 18 sampling sites (12 Impact and six

Control sites) were selected in relation to maximum levels of anticipated sediment accretion from dredging

operations (as indicated in Section 6.5.1 of the DSDMP). Two locations (A and B) were established at each

of the 18 sites approximately 100 m apart and parallel with the coastline. Locations were selected within a

similar depth range of 0.5 m to 1.0 m above LAT for consistency and to control for any depth related

differences in assemblage structure. Sites were selected to allow detection of broad scale variation across

Darwin Harbour Inner as well as small scale (location level) variation.

2.2 Sampling Design

The sampling design is consistent with the ‘beyond BACI’ (Before, After, Control, Impact) sampling approach,

which makes use of multiple Control locations in space and time (Underwood 1991, 1992; Long et al. 1996).

This allows changes of the potential Impact locations to be evaluated against variation measured at multiple

Control locations. The design requires that sampling be carried out in at least two external Control locations

in addition to the potential Impact locations. Baseline Phase sampling was carried out twice prior to dredging

to capture natural temporal variation. As Baseline Phase surveys were carried out during the dry season,

further surveys during and after dredging will be carried out at the same time of year to allow comparison.

The monitoring program would be conducted in four Phases:

> Phase 1: Baseline sampling;

> Phase 2: During dredging (the most intensive phase);

> Phase 3: Post dredging (at the end of dredging); and

> Phase 4: Post dredging (one year post dredging).

Monitoring was undertaken at predicted Impact and Control locations in Darwin Harbour Inner. The sampling

design is outlined below (Table 2-1).

2.3 Field Methodology

2.3.1 Infauna

Sampling was carried out on a shallow drafted barge (HM Bouger) using a stainless steel sediment core

sampler with an extendable handle (Figure 2-2). The core sampler was 10 cm in diameter and collected a

maximum core length of up to 40 cm (approximately 3.1 L of sediment). The core sampler was pushed down

approximately 40 cm into the sediment and a ball and socket valve was then closed via a rope to create a

partial vacuum. As the tube was pulled up, the valve on the head assembly tightly sealed the upper end of

the sampler to prevent wash out. The corer was then lifted onto the back deck and emptied into a plastic

bucket upon release of the valve. The sample was then transferred to a 0.5 mm mesh sieve and rinsed on

board the vessel with seawater. The retained sediment and biota was then transferred to a labelled bag.

The sieve was examined after removal of retained sediment and any animals trapped in the mesh added to

the sample; it was then rinsed with water to avoid any cross-contamination. The sample was then preserved

on board the vessel in a solution of 40% formalin and seawater with Rose Bengal dye. Sample bags were

labelled internally and externally with project details, time, date, site, location and replicate number and

placed in a sealed labelled poly-drum. Five replicate samples were collected per location. Global

Positioning System (GPS) coordinates and times were recorded at the start and finish of sampling at each

location.



2.3.2 Particle Size Distribution (PSD)

Sediment samples collected for PSD analysis were sealed into labelled bags and placed in a cooler to be

stored below 4°C until transfer to a freezer on land. They were later dispatched to an NATA accredited

laboratory (ALS Laboratories Darwin), accompanied by a Chain of Custody (CoC) document for external

laboratory analyses.

2.3.3 pH

Immediately after sample collection and prior to sieving, pH measurements were recorded using an Oakton

Instruments waterproof pH tester pen (Figure 2-2). The probe was inserted 4 cm to 5 cm into the sediment

sample and left until the value on the instrument remained stable. Values were recorded on the field data

sheet. Tester pens were calibrated prior to each field trip and rinsed in a bucket of fresh water between

measurements.

2.3.4 Oxidation Redox Potential

Immediately after sample collection and prior to sieving, ORP measurements were recorded using an Oakton

Instruments waterproof ORP tester pen (Figure 2-2). The probe was inserted 4 cm to 5 cm into the

sediment sample and left until the value on the instrument remained stable or after 30 seconds (whichever

was sooner). Measurements were then recorded on the field data sheet. Tester pens were calibrated prior

to each field trip and rinsed in a bucket of fresh water between measurements.

2.4 Laboratory Methodology

2.4.1 Infauna

All benthic samples for analyses of infaunal assemblages were sent via road freight to Cardno’s Sydney

laboratory for sorting, identification and enumeration. Excess formalin in samples was initially drained from

each sample over a 0.5 mm mesh sieve and disposed of appropriately. Samples were then rinsed under tap

water and transferred to an alcohol solution for preservation and further processing. Animals were removed

from the sediment and elutriate under a binocular microscope using forceps and stored according to their

a) b)



taxonomic group with the project details and sample information. Animals were then identified to Family

level with each taxon separated into an individually labelled vial. For groups where further identification

would require a large expenditure of time (e.g. oligochaetes and nematodes) or where taxonomic status in

Australia was insufficient to achieve a finer level of identification (e.g. anemones), identification was to a

lower resolution such as Class or Sub Order.

2.4.2 Particle Size Distribution (PSD)

Samples collected for analysis of PSD were dispatched to ALS Laboratories, Darwin, a NATA accredited

laboratory, accompanied with CoC document. The distribution of particles sizes greater than 0.001 mm and

median grain size were determined using the dry sieve (AS 1289.3.6.1) and hydrometer (AS1289.3.6.3)

methods.

2.5 Statistical and Analytical Methodology

2.5.1 General Findings

General findings for infaunal assemblages are presented as total numbers of individuals and total number of

taxa (species richness) occurring among sampling locations for B1 and B2. General findings for physical

parameters (PSD, pH and ORP) are presented as averages and standard errors (SE) of the mean for B1 and

B2 for all sampling locations.

2.5.2 Multivariate Analyses

Statistical analysis of infauna data was carried out using PERMANOVA+ (based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity

matrices) in PRIMER v6. This is a permutational approach to analysis of variance (ANOVA) that is superior

to traditional methods (Anderson et al. 2008) in that there is no assumption of normality in the data and

designs can be unbalanced (e.g. different numbers of replicate samples at different places or times) if

necessary. The approach yields exact tests for each level of an experimental design and is robust to

differences among variances. Post-hoc permutational t-tests or ‘pair-wise’ tests using PERMANOVA+ were

performed to examine significant interactions or main effects.

As transformation of data to achieve normality was unnecessary, abundance data were not transformed. In

order to help discriminate between groups of interest (in this case sites, locations and times), multivariate

data were represented graphically using Principle Coordinates Analysis (PCoA), a generalised form of

Principal Components Analysis (PCA), which complements the permutational ANOVA procedure (Anderson

et al. 2008). Samples were projected onto linear axes based on their dissimilarities in a way that best

describes the patterns among them using as few dimensions as possible (Clarke and Gorley 2006).

Similarity Percentage Analysis (SIMPER) was used to identify those taxa, or groups of taxa, contributing

most to dissimilarities between assemblages where appropriate.

Differences in the dispersion of data between surveys were examined using the PERMDISP routine in

PERMANOVA+. This routine was used to separate the effects of differences in dispersion of points within

clusters from differences in the relative positions of the clusters (Anderson et al. 2008).

The design for the statistical analyses was:

> Survey (2 levels (B1 and B2), random);

> Treatment (2 levels (Control and Impact), fixed);

> Sites (random, nested in Treatment); and

> Locations (random, nested in site).

2.5.3 Univariate Analyses

Where appropriate, univariate analyses were carried out to investigate differences in taxon richness, taxon

abundance and individual taxa contributing the most to the spatial and temporal variability among samples.

PERMANOVA+ (based on Euclidian distance) was used to perform permutational analyses of variance as

this approach does not require that the data come from a normal distribution or that variances are

homogeneous, as is the case with traditional ANOVA. After calculating a Euclidean distance matrix of all

possible pairs of samples of the variable of interest, the underlying distribution of the data was determined by



repeated randomisation of the samples in the matrix, enabling exact tests for all levels of the experimental

design (Anderson et al. 2008).

2.5.4 Relating Physical and Biological Variables

To examine the relationship between the physical variables of PSD, pH and ORP with the biotic data, a sub-

program within the PRIMER package called Distance Based Linear Models (DIST-LM) was used. DIST-LM

analyses and models the relationship between a multivariate data cloud (as described by a resemblance

matrix) and one or more predictor variables that were measured from the same set of samples. P-values for

testing the null hypothesis of no relationship are obtained using permutation methods rather than traditional

tables.

2.5.5 Power Analyses

Data from B1 and B2 were used to simulate a third set of data representing the first of two surveys to be

carried out during Phase 2 (during dredging). Sets of random numbers were generated in Excel and a

correction factor (or multiplier) applied to simulate a specified percentage decrease in abundance and taxa

richness (assuming a dredging related impact) relative to the known survey means for B1 and B2.

The results of B1, B2 and the simulated data set were then analysed in PRIMER using the PERMANOVA+

statistical routine. The statistical design was the same as indicated in Section 2.5.2 except with the added

factor of ‘Phase’ above the factor ‘Survey’:

> Phase (2 levels (Before and During), fixed;

> Survey (2 levels (Survey 1 and Survey 2), random, nested within Phase;

> Treatment (2 levels (Control and Impact), fixed);

> Sites (random, nested in Treatment); and

> Locations (random, nested in site).

This analysis was repeated ten consecutive times to allow the percentage change in abundance and taxa

richness that was detectable with an 80% to 100% confidence limit to be determined.

2.6 Quality Control Procedures

2.6.1 Field

As per the requirements of INPEX’s Waste Discharge Licence (WDL) and EPA 8 permit conditions on

reporting, a unique sample code, a record of the GPS position, time, date, depth, name of the sampler,

sediment type and weather conditions were recorded on waterproof field sheets for all replicate samples

collected. All data were then transcribed into the master project database linked to each unique sample

code. GPS positions were downloaded into Excel format then imported into the master database. A

photographic record was also archived for each PSD grab sample collected. Hard copies of all original

datasheets were scanned and stored electronically within the master database.

CoC documentation accompanied all consignments of samples being transported from one party to another.

Field Quality Control included the collection and analysis of a duplicate sample at a randomly selected

location. External laboratory quality assurance included the use of replicate environmental samples.

2.6.2 Laboratory

All samples were logged upon receipt from the field on a laboratory management sheet. In the laboratory, a

sample sign-in/sign out system was used to track sample status and time required to process each sample.

For each sample, the sediment remaining after removal of all biota was checked by a second experienced

scientist to recover any missed organisms. Verification of identifications and counts were completed by a

second experienced scientist on all samples. A voucher collection was retained for future comparison and

identification. External laboratory quality assurance included the use of blind replicate environmental

samples.



2.6.3 Data Processing

Prior to use in statistical analyses, data files were locked to avoid corruption or accidental overwrite. Field

data was error checked before undertaking further analysis or presentation using a two-scientist, digital and

hard copy procedure. This involved one person entering the data and two scientists then checking the digital

and hardcopies against each other.



3 Results

3.1 Infauna

3.1.1 General Findings

Surveys for intertidal mudflat infauna were carried out during the Darwin dry season between 12 and 17 June

2012 (B1) and between 28 July 2012 and 1 August 2012 (B2). Field notes, including sample volumes,

sediment descriptions and GPS positions of sampling locations (WGS 84), are presented in Appendix A and

Appendix B.

A total of 5,050 individual animals comprised of 105 taxa were recorded from B1 and 4,346 individuals

comprised of 93 taxa were recorded from B2. In both surveys, a diverse range of taxa were collected,

including polychaete worms (from a variety of families), crustaceans (including isopods, amphipods,

cumaceans, crabs and burrowing shrimp), molluscs (gastropods, bivalves and opisthobranchs), echinoderms

(ophiuroids and holothuroids) and other worm taxa such as nematodes, nemerteans, oligochaetes,

phoronids, platyhelminthes and sipunculids. Other groups recorded included anemones, hydrozoans,

sponges and pycnogonids (sea spiders).

Polychaete worms were the most numerically abundant of the major taxonomic groups in B1 and B2 (Table

3-1, Figure 3-1). This was followed by Crustacea, other worm phyla (e.g. nemerteans, nematodes,

phoronids and sipunculids), Mollusca, Echinodermata and other phyla (e.g. anemones, hydroids, sponges

and sea spiders) for both B1 and B2 (Table 3-1, Figure 3-1). In B2, polychaete worms were also the most

diverse in terms of taxa richness, followed by Crustacea, Mollusca, other phyla, other worms and

Echinodermata, although in B2, Crustaceans were the most diverse group followed by Polychaeta, Mollusca,

Other worms/phyla and Echinodermata (Table 3-1, Figure 3-1).

The most numerically abundant taxa throughout the Baseline Phase were similar, with polychaete worms

from the family Magelonidae being the most numerically abundant in both B1 and B2 (contributing 27% and

18.7% total abundance for B1 and B2 respectively). In B1, this was followed by isopod crustaceans from the

family Apseudidae (10.4%), polychaetes from the families Spionidae (8.0%), Capitellidae (5.0%) and

Nereididae (3.8%), nemerteans (3.6%), nematodes (3.0%) and polychaetes from the families Maldanidae

(3.0%), Glyceridae (2.7%) and Lumbrineridae (2.1%).

In B2, following the Magelonidae, the most numerically abundant taxa were polychaete worms from the

family Maldanidae (12.1%), Apseudid isopods (11.3%), Capitellids (9.3%), Spionids (4.9%), nemerteans

(4%), Nereids (2.5%), Glycerids (2.5%), amphipod crustaceans from the family Melitidae (2.4%) and

Lumbrinerids (2.2%). Photomicrographs of the most abundant taxa recorded are presented in Figure 3-2. A

complete list of all taxa and raw abundance data is presented in Appendix C.

Mean abundance and taxon richness for all locations sampled during B1 and B2 are presented in Figure 3-

3. In both surveys the greatest number of individuals were collected from site 6 (locations A and B), located

several kilometres upstream from Blaydin Point within the Elizabeth River. Site 3 (locations A and B),

located within East Arm, was the most depauperate of all sites in both surveys. Mean abundance of Impact

sites was not significantly different from that of the Control sites, although mean taxon richness was

significantly greater at Control sites (P=<0.01), with the greatest diversity in taxa found at sites 13 (location

A) and 14 (location B) in B1, and sites 16 (location B) and 18 (location A) in B2.

3.1.2 Analyses of Assemblages

Infaunal assemblages sampled from Impact and Control sites did not vary significantly from each other within

or between B1 and B2 (Appendix E). This is illustrated in the PCoA plot (Figure 3-4) which shows that only

19% of the total variation can be explained by differences among samples. PERMDISP indicated that the

variability among assemblages for B1 and B2 was also similar (Appendix F).

While larger scale variation was not evident, variation at the scale of sites (i.e. kilometres) and locations

(i.e. tens of metres) was significant, although these patterns were not consistent between B1 and B2.

3.1.3 Power Analyses

Power analyses indicated that for the current sampling design, a 30% change in species abundance and a

20% change in taxon richness in the Dredging Phase can be detected with a 100% confidence. The

statistical results for each simulation run as part of the analyses are shown in Table 3-2.

3.2 Particle Size Distribution (PSD)

Sediments sampled during B1 generally consisted of a high proportion of clay and silt (<60 µm) with varying

amounts of fine sand and small proportions of gravel at some sites (Figure 3-5, Table 3-3). Sites 8 and 13

had notably higher proportions of sand than other sites, and site 10 (location A) and site 11 (location A)

contained higher proportions of gravel (shell grit). PSDs recorded for B2 were generally similar to B1

(Figure 3-6, Table 3-3) and no significant differences in median grain size were evident between Impact and

Control sites. A large amount of fine organic matter was noted within the sediment samples collected in the

field, particularly within the creeks. Raw PSD data is presented in Appendix D.

3.5 Relationship of Physical and Biological Variables

Examination of the distance based linear model indicated that very little of the variation of the infaunal

assemblage could be attributed to the physical variables measured (median grain size, pH and ORP).

Cumulatively these variables explained less than 5% of the total variation (R2 for each individual variable

against the infaunal data cloud = <0.04). This is illustrated in the distance based redundancy analyses

ordination (dbRDA) (Figure 3-9). Statistical results are presented in Appendix G.

4 Discussion

The intertidal mudflats of Darwin Harbour Inner appear to provide habitat for a relatively diverse assemblage

of infauna, dominated by benthic polychaetes from the families Magelonidae, Maldanidae, Capitellidae,

Spionidae, Nereididae and Lumbrineridae among others. Three of these families (Nereididae, Capitellidae

and Spionidae) were also found to be numerically abundant within mangrove habitats of Darwin Harbour in

an earlier study of polychaetes and other worm taxa (Metcalfe and Glasby 2008) where they comprised over

80% of all worms sampled. These families are commonly associated with intertidal and inshore subtidal

habitats throughout Australia and are predominantly deposit feeders, obtaining their nutrition from organic

material found in the fine sand and mud which they ingest. Of the other numerically abundant taxa recorded

in this program, Nematodes and Nemerteans have also been sampled previously from Darwin Harbour in

relatively high abundance. These carnivores are commonly found in intertidal soft sediments and prey upon

crustaceans and polychaetes. Crustaceans, including tanaids (from the family Apseudidae), amphipods

(from the families Aoridae, Photidae, Isaidae and Melitidae) and decapods, including grapsid crabs and

calliannassid shrimp (ghost shrimp), were also among those taxa recorded in relatively high abundance.

Deposit feeding crabs and shrimp and amphipods such as these are commonly found in association with

intertidal sand and mudflats.

Infaunal invertebrates found in intertidal sediments of the northwest and southern shelf of Australia are

generally higher than elsewhere in comparable habitats (Connell and Gillanders 2007). Over 500 taxa have

been found in temperate and tropical bays (Coleman et al. 1997; Ward et al. 2006; Long et al. 1995).

Comparably, a total of 116 taxa were sampled across B1 and B2.

Infaunal assemblages varied at the scale of sites and locations (within sites), but not at the larger scale and

these patterns were not consistent between B1 and B2. Variation at these scales and over a period of five to

six weeks (the time between B1 and B2) would be expected, due to the dynamic nature of the estuary and

variation in how different parts of the estuary are affected by tides and hydrology. No significant differences

were evident between the Impact and Control sites within or between surveys, which suggests they may be

suitable for investigating the impacts of dredging and/or sedimentation on infaunal assemblages in a multiple

lines of evidence approach.

Mean sediment pH and ORP were within the ranges that would be considered normal for similar estuarine

systems. The very low ORP values are likely to be a result of the high proportion of fine clay and silt in the

samples, which limit water circulation and hence oxygenation potential (although this would also depend on

the amount of oxygen available in the water column). PSD may therefore explain the oxidising sediment

characteristics of site 8 which had a higher proportion of coarser sand fractions than at other sites.

Furthermore, decomposition of organic material observed within the sediments by bacteria would lead to

rapid oxygen consumption and depletion, which may explain the generally low ORP values and strongly

reducing conditions. Due to lack of correlation between ORP values and faunal assemblages, and the high

level of variation (at a small scale), it is unlikely that changes in ORP values would be indicative of dredging

related impacts.

Multiple biotic and abiotic factors are reported to affect the distributional patterns of shallow water benthic

infauna (Currie and Small 2006), with one of the major physical influences being PSD (Brown and

McLachlan 2006; Butman and Grassle 1992; Sundberg and Kennedy 1993). However, results of the

distance based linear model do not indicate any clear relationship between median grain size and the

infaunal assemblage data. This is not due to inadequacies of the model (which captures around 90% of the

fitted variation), but means that the infaunal assemblage observed was ubiquitous across the relatively fine

range of fractions which was too small to resolve any pattern.

Results of the power analyses indicate that the spatial and temporal replication of the sampling design is

robust enough to detect a 20% to 30% change in the infaunal assemblage that may occur as a result of

dredging related activity and therefore reinforces the confidence that the objectives of the informative

sampling program will be met. These confidence limits are also likely to be improved once further data has

been collected throughout the course of the monitoring program.

APPENDIX E PERMANOVA RESULTS


Monitoring Program


Prepared for INPEX

Appendix E. Permutational Analysis of Variance of infaunal assemblages sampled in Darwin Harbour between June and August 2012. P-values highlighted in bold are significant. RED = Redundant term. A term becomes redundant if a lower order interaction including that term is significant. Res = Residual. This term is a measure of the variation in the data not explained by the variation attributed to the main factors in the experimental model (i.e. Time, Orientation etc. and their associated interactions).
