Created 10/01/2026

Updated 10/01/2026

The Macquarie Harbour marine habitat project 1:25000 depicts marine habitats from Hells Gate [145d13m, -42d 13m] to the mouth of the Gordon River [145d31m, -42d26m]. The habitat types depicted in the dataset include Reef, Cobble, Silt and Sand. The data was collected through intensive field sampling from January to June 2008 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.
