Geoscience Australia has the primary role in the delineation of Australia's domestic and international maritime limits and boundaries. An output of this activity is the development of the Australian Maritime Boundaries (AMB) data. AMB is a GIS data product, replacing AMBIS 2006, providing access to the data for Australia's maritime zones. Treaties - Australian Maritime Boundaries Dataset 2014 is a digital representation of Australia's international treaty boundaries. In the event of an inconsistency between AMB data and the limits under any treaty, the latter prevails. The data have been published by Geoscience Australia in consultation with other relevant Commonwealth Government agencies including the Attorney-General's Department, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Australian Hydrographic Office. This version contains a number of technical amendments made on the basis of user feedback. These include: - Harmonisation of maritime boundaries, scheduled area and graticular block datasets in block SC51 The Treaties - Australian Maritime Boundaries Dataset 2014a comprises the maritime boundaries determined by treaties between Australia and neighbouring countries. All data coordinates are supplied in the GDA94 datum. Treaties - Australian Maritime Boundaries Dataset 2014a can also be viewed on-line via AMSIS (http://www.ga.gov.au/marine/jurisdiction/amsis.html).
