      Strip-transect aerial surveys of Ningaloo Reef and Exmouth Gulf were conducted in 2007. These surveys were designed primarily to estimate the abundance and distribution of dugongs, although they also allowed sea turtles and dolphins, and, to a lesser extent, whales, manta rays and whale sharks to be surveyed. This dataset consists of the map of the transects used in this survey.
