The ShellMAP Water Quality Sample Sites dataset depicts locations where water sampling is conducted by or on behalf of the Shellfish Market Access Program Regulatory Services. These sites are used to test water quality within or in near proximity to shellfish harvest areas in Tasmania. The dataset includes both actively sampled sites and inactive sites. The LIST ShellMAP Water Quality Sample Sites dataset is provided for convenience of reference only.

The Marine Nature Reserve dataset includes areas of Tasmanian State Waters that have been defined as Marine Nature Reserves by the Tasmanian Fisheries Rules 1999. Where part of the Reserve allows restricted fishing, a separate region is created for that part with a note in the Comment field of "Restricted Take". All other Marine Nature Reserves prohibit fishing. Refer to Fisheries Rules 1999 (SR158 of 1999) for details. The Marine Nature Reserves contained within this dataset are: Governor Island Marine Nature Reserve, Maria Island Marine Nature Reserve, Ninepin Point Marine Nature Reserve, Tinderbox Marine Nature Reserve, Kent Group Marine Nature Reserve, Port Davey/Bathurst Harbour Marine Nature Reserve.

Cartographic representations of Fisheries Management Areas (FMA)s in the Atlantic and Arctic Regions. Currently Published Fisheries Management Areas: Capelin Crab Herring Mackerel Salmon, Atlantic Scallop Shrimp Snow Crab Squid Each polygon feature class delineates the coordinates of a different series of FMAs. Shapes have been drafted based on a combination of sources including: the Atlantic Fisheries Regulations, Integrated Fisheries Management Plans, indigenous treaties, the bounds of the Territorial Sea, and other information made public on Fisheries and Oceans websites. Information from Variation orders and Conditions of License were also incorporated. The specific sources used to construct each feature class is listed in its metadata and direct links to public sources are included. The original documentation uses a diverse combination datums, or include coordinates with no listed datum. This data series has been projected into NAD83. Vertices in this dataset may differ from the original source documents to fix slivers, make areas congruent with coastlines, or align with other administrative boundaries. Changes made to the original areas in order to make drafting possible have been highlighted in the comments field in the attribute tables. Lines were first drafted as geodesics and vertices were added to approximate loxodromes using the Construct Geodesic Tool in ArcGIS Pro 2.9.8. As documentation is drafted, additional FMAs will be added to the dataset. Currently drafted FMAs my change and expand into currently unmapped areas as new information is incorporated. The feature classes produced as a part of this data series are cartographic representations of legal documents and are meant to be used for general reference in support of marine planning. Whenever there is a difference between the original written source documentation and this digital representation, the originals should be considered authoritative. Every effort has been made to ensure that these files are as accurate as possible but these feature classes are not intended to be used for navigation, legal interpretation or enforcement.

This map is produced for the Australian Fisheries Management Authority to assist their enforcement of Australia's Maritime Boundaries. It has lots of icons to explain to Indonesian fishermen where they can and cannot fish in the Timor and Arafura Seas. Originally produced using the Indonesian language. This version is an English translation. It is not for sale or public release by Geoscience Australia. Public release is thru DEH and AFMA. Updated in 2019 to reflect the 2018 Australia/Timor-Leste Maritime Boundaries Treaty

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub study 'Mapping and characterising Australia’s tropical shellfish reefs'. For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata. This project will assess the current status of tropical oyster (also called shellfish) reefs across Northern Australia. A combination of satellite imagery, community consultations facilitated by OzFish and The Nature Conservancy, and Traditional Owner Knowledge will be used to develop a comprehensive map of past and present oyster reefs and underpin DCCEEW assessments of future protection and restoration needs. Full assessments of reef condition at selected sites will be used to develop rapid assessment methods suitable for estimating oyster populations, supported biodiversity, habitat preferences and settlement substrates to inform future management, monitoring, and conservation status of tropical oyster reefs. Planned Outputs • Locations of shellfish reefs [point spatial dataset] • Full characterisation of 7 shellfish reef sites in Queensland, Mackay to Gladstone region Queensland that include 3D photogrammetry, polygon boundaries with site attribution based on Queensland Intertidal and Subtidal Ecosystem Classification Scheme. [polygon spatial dataset, drone scans] • Photogrammetry imagery [raw images] • Historical shellfish reefs identified from Trove records and from Traditional Owner discussions [point spatial datasets] • Final technical report with analysed data and a short summary of recommendations for policy makers of key findings [written]
