This dataset comprises an amalgamation of State, Territory and Commonwealth priorities in terms of Seabed mapping as of February 2017. Data that were identified as important for: safe navigation, environmental baseline assessment, resource competition and baseline data, and urgently required to support policy and government decisions were given priority. Agencies then ranked their priority areas 1 – very high/high (red), 2 – moderate (blue), and 3 – low (green), based on the need for the data and the impact of the data. These priority sets were compiled by Geoscience Australia and submitted to the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) for consideration as supplementary material for their "Hydroscheme" acquisition plan.
