Darwin Harbour Habitat Mapping Program multibeam bathymetry flythroughs

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

In December 2010, the Northern Territory Government (NTG) announced funding for high priority environmental monitoring and research activities in Darwin Harbour. Following the announcement, the Darwin Harbour Habitat Mapping Program was developed and managed by the Department of Land Resource Management (DLRM). Under the Program, DLRM collaborated with GA, the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), and the Darwin Port Corporation to undertake multibeam and backscatter data acquisition for the Darwin Harbour. This flythough presents seabed bathymetry compilations for the Darwin Harbour in the Northern Territory. These videos are intended for potential public release. The overall objective of the INPEX Environmental Offset program `Mapping Marine and Estuarine Benthic Habitats in Darwin and Bynoe harbours is to improve knowledge of the marine habitats in the Darwin and Bynoe harbours region by producing thematic habitat maps to underpin marine resource management decisions.
