Sampling Sites of Coastal areas of Tasmania with potential to contain Acid Sulfate Soils

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

A NHT (National Heritage Trust) funded project headed by the NRM Cradle Coast to delineate coastal areas with potential to contain Acid Sulfate Soils (ASS). The dataset forms part of the larger project pertaining to ‘Tasmanian Acid Sulfate Soils Information’ (TASSI) with the aim of providing better awareness to stake holders and planners in regards to the distribution of Acid Sulfate Soils in coastal environments of Tasmania. Coastal environment for the sake of the TASSI project was defined as the zone between 0 and 20m AHD. The dataset comprises GPS-recorded point locations for sites sampled to determine the presence of acid sulfate soils during the project, and previously established sites by CSIRO and MRT. Where available, sites include a classification of three different categories, AASS (actual acid sulfate soil), PASS (potential acid sulfate soil), and NASS (non-acid sulfate soil).
