This dataset was developed from the database of Ocean Sciences Institute of Sydney University (AUSEABED) and from surveys conducted by MAFRI.

This polygon layer represents shallow marine habitats in the Corangamite catchment coastal region mapped from aerial photography and underwater video ground-truthing. This mapping was funded by the Natural Heritage Trust to increase the capacity of natural resource managers to make informed decisions regarding asset identification, risk assessment and establishment of management action targets for nearshore marine habitats in the region. This layer combines two datasets for east and west Corrangamite into a single layer.

Dataset containing an indication of the geographic extent covered by each current Coastal Action Plan identified in 'Table 2: Coastal Action Plan Status', of the Victorian Coastal Council’s 2010-11 Annual Report. The dataset contains attributes identifying the 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 used to locate and obtain document. To support the capture of a suitable geographic extent covered by Coastal Plans each plan was reviewed and categorised in terms of the area it covered. For plans covering a local government area, Catchment Management Authority, Coastal Management Board area, or township, a nominal buffer was applied around the spatial extent of these administrative units. For reports containing a clear study area, this boundary was captured and used to depict the geographical area covered by the report.

This layer contains coastal and marine related features represented by points and lines. All features are identified and coded according to the Australian Standard Geographic Information Systems - Geographic Data - Interchange of feature-coded digital mapping data AS2482-1989. Data has been derived from Land Victorias State Digital Map Base - Topographic data and converted from Microstation .DGN format to Arcinfo format. NB: This layer is obsolete.

Aerial imagery to identify seagrass, reef and sediment habitat distributions for various marine habitat mapping projects across Victoria between 1997 to 2011 which have been subsumed into the Statewide Marine Habitat Map 2021.

This layer contains line features for depth contours (bathymetry) in Western Port.

SEAGRASS_WESTERN_PORT_1999 is a polygon layer defining the spatial extent, species distribution and density of seagrass and macroalgae in Western Port mapped from aerial photography in 1999.
