This data set spatially depicts the recreational fishing restricted areas. Information is stored in selectable area polygons showing restricted area names, area descriptions and restriction type. The base data is currently held in GDA 94 geographic datum (i.e. Latitude Longitude). The data is periodically updated to reflect legislative changes.

This dataset identifies the land and waters within the SA Marine Parks Network Zoning which is dedicated to conservation under the Marine Parks Act 2007. The South Australian Marine Parks were established to protect the biological diversity of South Australian coastal waters and provide for ecologically sustainable use of the State’s natural resources. The Government of South Australia is committed to the development of a South Australian Representative System of Marine Protected Areas (SARSMPA). Internal zoning includes Restricted Access Zones (RAZ), Sanctuary Zones (SZ), Habitat Protection Zones (HPZ), and General Managed Use Zones (GMUZ).

The catchment boundaries of 111 Tasmanian estuaries, coastal lakes and lagoons were derived from 1:100,000 map sheets for an Ocean Rescue 2000 funded study , Regional Classification of Tasmanian Coastal Waters - Stage 2, EstuariesThe report for this study is titled " A Classification of Tasmanian Estuaries and Assessment of their Conservation Significance: an Analysis using Ecological and Physical Attributes, Population and Land Use" by G.J.Edgar, N.S.Barrett and D.J.Graddon, 1999.

The Tasmanian Estuaries (North West) Marine Habitats 1:25,000 layer depicts marine habitats of four estuaries (Montagu River, Duck Bay, Black River and Detention River). The habitat types depicted in the dataset include rocky reef, sand, hard sand and seagrass. The data was collected in April 2005 by marine researchers at the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute. The shallow waters of the estuaries enabled the use of aerial photography imagery as the primary data source. The habitats defined in the imagery required thorough checking in the field via underwater camera equipment, echo sounder data, and a Differential GPS unit to enable field checking of the image interpretation. The dataset is intended to be used to fulfil coastal management objectives according to The Living Marine Resources Act 1995 and to support Natural Resource management priorities in the Cradle Coast NRM region of Tasmania.

The southeastern Tasmania marine habitat project 1:25000 depicts marine habitats from Marion Bay [147 57, -42 44] to Second Lookout Point [146 52, -43 40] from the coastline to the 40metre depth contour. The habitat types depicted in the dataset include High profile reef, Medium profile reef, Low profile Reef, Patchy Reef, Sand, Hard Sand, Silty Sand, Silt, Seagrass, Patchy Seagrass, Sparse Seagrass and Caulerpa. The data was collected through intensive field sampling from June to December 2000 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.

The Marine Farm Leases dataset holds the spatial areas of land registered as a Marine Farm Lease from the Crown within the State of Tasmania. Marine Farm Leases are issued under the Marine Farming Planning Act 1995 for a period of 30 years. The lease describes the area in which marine farming activities are permitted to take place in accordance with the Act. The lease boundary is described on a survey plan registered in the Central Plan Register, as determined by the the Minister and added as an attachment to the lease document (PLAN_REF). The LIST Marine Farm Leases data set is maintained by Land Tasmania upon advice received by the Marine Farming Branch, DPIPWE. The Marine Farming Branch maintain Marine Farm Lease details which are recorded against the Marine Farm Lease Number (M_LEASE_NO).

This dataset identifies the longitude and latitude of the South Australian Marine Park outer boundaries at different locations within the state.

The catchment boundaries of 205 Tasmanian rivers were derived from 1:100,000 map sheets for an Ocean Rescue 2000 funded study , Regional Classification of Tasmanian Coastal Waters - Stage 2, EstuariesThe report for this study is titled " A Classification of Tasmanian Estuaries and Assessment of their Conservation Significance: an Analysis using Ecological and Physical Attributes, Population and Land Use" by G.J.Edgar, N.S.Barrett and D.J.Graddon, 1999.

This dataset was developed from the written description of the boundaries contained in the Marine and Safety (Pilotage and Navigation) Regulations 2017. There are several commercial working ports within Tasmania. The limits of these ports often cover large areas, which include a full spectrum of on-water activities, including, recreational boating, charter operators, sailing races, as well as commercial shipping. Port waters are those defined by the Marine and Safety (Pilotage and Navigation) Regulations 2017. Rules are in place specific to all vessels operating within these defined port areas.

This spatial boundary supports the marine bioregional boundaries as described in the State of the Fisheries Reports, that follows those of the Interim Marine and Coastal Regionalisation for Australia report (IMCRA Technical Group) except for the inclusion of the Gascoyne coast as a separate region.
