Project: Dredging of Burnie Harbour 

The Burnie Port Corporation carries out major dredging programmes in Burnie harbour, on the northwest coast of Tasmania, every five to seven years. To establish the need for this dredging, soundings of the seabed are taken every year. Historically this was done by lining up sounding craft with land-based reference points and recording depths on a very approximate, five-metre grid.
