North Western Tasmania Marine Habitat Map - 1:25000 Digital Topographic Series

Created 10/01/2026

Updated 10/01/2026

The north western Tasmania marine habitat project 1:25000 depicts marine habitats from Robbins Island [144deg 53min, -40deg 44min] to West Head [146deg 43min, -41deg 44min] from the coastline to 1500m from the coastline. The habitat types depicted in the dataset include Reef, Sand, Seagrass, and Cobble. The data was collected through intensive field sampling from February to September 2006 by marine researchers at the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute. The use of underwater camera equipment, echo sounder data and a Differential GPS unit allowed for the extensive area to be surveyed. The dataset is intended to be used to fulfil coastal management objectives according to The Living Marine Resources Act 1995.
