The Bathurst Channel marine habitat layer - 1: 25,000 depicts marine habitats for the entire channel from the inside of the Breaksea Islands to Nixson Point [145d 55m, -43d 18m] to [146d 08m, -43d 21m]. The habitat types depicted in the dataset include silt, silty sand, hard sand and low profile reef. The data was collected in October and November 2002 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
