Abstract

This Stygofauna Baseline assessment was focused on stygofauna (aquatic groundwater fauna) as part of the aquatic ecosystem baseline studies that the NT Government is completing for the broader SREBA Beetaloo program. A field survey was completed for two phases of stygofauna in October 2021 and May 2022. A total of 66 groundwater bores were sampled, with the sites selected to obtain spatial coverage across the study area and to stratify sampling by the hydrogeological formations present. The data contains stygofauna survey area, sampling for Phase 1 and 2 and results.
