Australian marine pest monitoring manual

This manual is a ‘how to guide’ for marine pest monitoring within Australia. It is intended for use by government and jurisdictional representatives, monitoring designers and those carrying out monitoring programs.

The manual describes the agreed processes, procedures and standards for monitoring design, sampling and analysis. These procedures will ensure that approved monitoring programs use nationally consistent methods that meet agreed quality standards.

This manual should be read and used in conjunction with the Australian marine pest monitoring guidelines.
