5. Future Surveys (Phases II and III)This initial Phase I survey was designed as a component of a medium-term study up to threeyears. Each year is designed to contain a single phase: 2011 - Initial survey - Phase I 2012 - 1st year survey - Phase II 2013 - 2nd year survey - Phase III (subject to outcomes of Phase II)The broad objectives for Phase II and Phase III will be to conduct surveys to compare dataagainst the Phase I survey, for the assessment of recovery of seagrass within andsurrounding the Gage Roads Offshore Disposal Area, including potentially associatedsediment physicochemical controls.The Phase II survey is scheduled for November-December 2012 and Phase III survey inNovember-December 2013 (subject to outcomes of the Phase II study).34 Oceanica: Fremantle Ports: FP – Gage Roads Offshore Disposal Area Seagrass Recovery Project, Phase I – Initial Survey
