The relative vessel strike risk for various species (humpback whale, green turtle, dugong, seagrass locations and generic species) and selected vessel categories over the 3 year period 2013-2015. Risk is calculated from available animal distribution information ([1][2][3][4][5][6]) and vessel Automatic Information System (AIS) data (supplied by AMSA [7]). From this, two risk metrics are derived: 1) relative risk of a collision, and 2) for large whales (humpback, sperm, southern right whale): vessel speed vs mortality curves are used to obtain relative risk of a fatal collision. A more detailed description of the underlying data and the risk metrics used is given in [8]. Note that this dataset was collected as part of the following project: NESP MB PROJECT C5 – QUANTIFICATION OF RISK FROM SHIPPING TO LARGE MARINE FAUNA ACROSS AUSTRALIA https://catalogue.aodn.org.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/metadata.show?uuid=5fb8766b-b3cb-4fd0-aad7-7dfcda6582a9
