  Victorian Marine Biogeographical Settings

dataset: MARINE_BIOUNITS
This layer contains regional biogeographical divisions of Victorian State waters as classified to CBICs Level 6 biogeographical units (biounits). Each biounit is characterised by one or more distinct physiographic settings, ecosystem processes and biotope distributions. These regions form a basis for ecological studies, natural resource management and ecological modelling.

Lineage

Statement
Dataset Source: CBICs or the Combined Biotope Classication Scheme is a novel unifed scheme for marine ecological classification and provides a means for describing, mapping and monitoring biological communities, abiotic structural habitat components and ecosystem types. CBICs has directly adopted the three levels of the Marine Ecoregions of the World (MEOW) for coastal and shelf areas. CBICs introduces a new bioregional division termed biounit that delineate areas within bioregions that have distinctive ecophysical properties. Dataset Originality: Derived
