Positional Accuracy:
Spatial accuracy is based on the adminstrative units or source boundaries usd to depict boundaries, which includes a nominal buffer.
Attribute Accuracy:
All captured features have been populated for report title, year of the report, Coastal Board region, unique identifier assigned to report, link that allows the report to be directly referenced, and link to source website page.
Logical Consistency:
Validation for consistency and completeness for all items.
Data Source:
Dataset Source: This layer was produced using towed video biotope survey locations across Victoria. Marine biotopes describe a community of species in a defined abiotic habitat. Biotopes embody the concept that biological communities are controlled by the physicochemical components of their habitat. As such, a biotope class has a fundamentally different descriptive structure to classes historically used. Biotopes comprise and shape biounits, the broader level of categorisation for the marine environment.
