摘要: Abstract Understanding of the processes regulating sediment transport, accumulation and erosion requires an appropriate mapping coastal geomorphology, seabed sediments benthic habitat distribution to allow management issues be identified, understood addressed. In this study multibeam echo-sounder data were used map shallow water geomorphological features spatial habitats, with support underwater imagery for ground truthing acoustic data. At Geraldton, analyses have revealed a dominant biogenic nature, modern carbonate sedimentation linked seagrass macroalgal factories colonising these (
