The Derwent Estuary habitat project 1:25000 depicts marine habitats from Piersons Point [147 02, -43 03] to New Norfolk [147 02 , -42 42 ] from the coastline to the 40metre depth contour. The habitat types depicted in the dataset include reef, sand, seagrass, silt, silty sand and aquatic macrophytes. The data was collected through intensive field sampling from June to December 2000 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.
