This dataset maps the geomorphic habitat environments (facies) for 15 Northern Territory coastal waterways. The classification system contains 9 easily identifiable and representative environments: Bedrock, Channel, Flood- and Ebb-tide Delta, Fluvial (bay-head) Delta, Intertidal Flats, Mangrove, Rocky Reef, Saltmarsh/Saltflat, Tidal Sand Banks (and Unassigned). These types represent habitats found across all coastal systems in Australia. Most of the 15 coastal waterways have a "Near Pristine" environmental condition (as opposed to "Modified"), according to the National Land and Water Resources Audit definition. Estuaries in the Northern Territory are predominantly tide-dominated barrier estuaries.
