This initiative comprised of collating aerial photography (from archives), acoustic mapping, and conducting underwater video surveys and field-based visual observations. From this, 1:25,0000 scale habitat maps were created for shallow coastal water to within 1.5 km of the coastline (or 40m depth, which ever was arrived at first). Depth information was collected via acoustic methods and used to discriminate seafloor habitat type, in combination with scanned aerial photographs and towed video transects providing ground-truthing information. See 'Lineage' section of this record for full methodology and data dictionary. This data is also available via the Seamap Australia National Benthic Habitat Layer - a nationally consolidated benthic habitat map. https://metadata.imas.utas.edu.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/4739e4b0-4dba-4ec5-b658-02c09f27ab9a Benthic habitat Seafloor habitat classification Temperate Reef SHAPE-ZIP documentDigital DATA ACCESS - This OGC WFS service returns the data (Seamap Tasmania benthic habitats) in Shapefile format WFS PUBLICATION - Mapping the gaps [PDF] documentDigital HTML seamap:SeamapAus_TAS_SeamapTas documentDigital MAP - SeaMap Tasmania benthic habitats WMS View data in the interactive Seamap Australia data portal. documentDigital HTML ORCID documentDigital HTML ORCID documentDigital HTML ORCID documentDigital HTML ORCID documentDigital HTML ORCID documentDigital HTML ORCID documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital License Graphic PNG Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
