Healthy fish populations are a fundamental element of thriving coastal ecosystems, and an integral part of Australian life. There is an expectation that these ecosystems will be biodiverse and productive into the future, serving to underpin a huge variety of cultural, social, recreational and economic activities that depend upon them. The NSW Marine Estate Management Strategy aims to deliver NSW Government’s vision for a healthy coast and sea, managed for the greatest wellbeing of the community, now and into the future. The Strategy focuses on the identified priority threats and importantly includes a Marine Integrated Monitoring Program (MIMP) to monitor the condition and trend of key environmental assets, such as fish assemblages. NSW DPIRD Fisheries Research has been monitoring reef fish using stereo baited remote underwater video across the NSW coastline since 2010, and this mature dataset provides an opportunity to assess long-term condition patterns along the NSW coastline. We have proposed a range of potential fish metrics to monitor condition and trends for these fish assemblages, and we here report on the observed temporal and spatial patterns across five NSW marine bioregions between 2010 – 2023.
