Boat moorings along the Victorian Coast 

Alternate title

VIC_BOAT_MOORING_POINTS 

Purpose

The dataset was created for the Victorian Oil Spill Response Atlas to provide the location of fixed birth moorings, jetty moorings and swing moorings along the Victorian coastline and estuaries. 

Supplemental Information

History: This dataset is based on moorings data created for the OSRA which covered Port Phillip Bay and Western Port. Current Design Issues: The dataset was created to assist contingency planning and response to marine pollution by providing information on locations of boat moorings. This dataset does not identify minor moorings. Some moorings cover a larger area and are represented by a single point approximatley in the middle. Future Design Issues: New moorings will need to be added to the database. Related Documents: None
