The map was created using a top-down modelling process whereby habitat descriptors were assigned using seafloor structure and biological information derived from multibeam sonar (Victorian Marine Habitat Mapping Project), bathymetric LiDAR (Future Coasts program) and observations from underwater video. Identification of benthic biota, to the lowest discernible taxonomic level, and substrate characteristics were recorded according to the Victorian Towed Video Classification scheme (Ierodiaconou et al. 2007). {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[140.05, -39.29], [150.07, -39.29], [150.07, -37.18], [140.05, -37.18], [140.05, -39.29]]]} 140.05 150.07 -39.29 -37.18 Australia BASS STRAIT Benthic habitat CENTRAL BASS STRAIT FLINDERS OTWAY TWOFOLD SHELF VICTORIA VICTORIA COAST SHAPE-ZIP documentDigital DATA ACCESS - This OGC WFS service returns the data (Open Coast biotopes) in Shapefile format WFS seamap:SeamapAus_VIC_OpenCoast_biotopes documentDigital MAP - Open Coast biotopes WMS Original metadata record [Deakin University catalogue] documentDigital HTML ORCID ID documentDigital HTML ORCID ID documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital License Graphic PNG Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
