The North Eastern Tasmania marine habitat layer1: 25,000 depicts marine habitats from Swan Island [148° 20', -40° 40'] to St Helens Point [148° 20', -41° 20']. The habitat types depicted in the dataset include rocky reef, sand, hard sand and seagrass. The data was collected from November 2003 to October 2004 by marine researchers at the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute. The use of underwater camera equipment, echo sounder data, side scan sonar 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 north western Tasmania marine habitat project 1:25000 depicts marine habitats from Robbins Island [144deg 53min, -40deg 44min] to West Head [146deg 43min, -41deg 44min] from the coastline to 1500m from the coastline. The habitat types depicted in the dataset include Reef, Sand, Seagrass, and Cobble. The data was collected through intensive field sampling from February to September 2006 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 Tasmanian Estuaries (South East) Marine Habitats 1:25,000 layer depicts marine habitats of nine estuaries (Bryans lagoon, Catamaran River, Cloudy Bay Lagoon, D'Entrecasteaux River, Great Swanport, Little Swanport, Pipeclay Lagoon, Pitt Water and Southport Lagoon) in the south east of Tasmania. The habitat types depicted in the dataset include rocky reef, sand, hard sand and seagrass. The data was collected from November 2004 to September 2005 by marine researchers at the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute. The shallow waters of the estuaries enabled the use of aerial photography, including purpose flown aerial surveys, and satellite imagery as the primary data source. The habitats defined in the imagery were ground truthed in the field with underwater camera equipment, echo sounder data, and a Differential GPS unit. The dataset is intended for the use of fulfilling the coastal management objectives according to The Living Marine Resources Act 1995 and to support Natural Resource management priorities in the Southern NRM region of Tasmania.

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 contour map 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 contour intervals are at 2metres, 5metres, 10metres, 20metres, 30metres and 40metres. The dataset is intended to be used to fulfil coastal management objectives according to The Living Marine Resources Act 1995 and is not to be used for navigational purposes.

The Tasmanian Estuaries (Georges Bay) Marine Habitats 1:25,000 layer depicts marine habitats of one estuary (Georges Bay) near St Helens. The habitat types depicted in the dataset include rocky reef, sand, hard sand and seagrass. The data was collected from November 2004 to March 2005 by marine researchers at the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute. The shallow waters of the estuaries enabled the use of aerial photography and satellite imagery as one of the primary data sources, with habitats below the depth range that imagery could detect determined with underwater camera equipment, echo sounder data, and a Differential GPS unit, This equipment was also used to field check the habitats determined from 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 Northern NRM region of Tasmania.

The Tasmanian Estuaries (South East) Marine Habitats 1:25,000 layer depicts marine habitats of nine estuaries (Bryans lagoon, Catamaran River, Cloudy Bay Lagoon, D'Entrecasteaux River, Great Swanport, Little Swanport, Pipeclay Lagoon, Pitt Water and Southport Lagoon) in the south east of Tasmania. The habitat types depicted in the dataset include rocky reef, sand, hard sand and seagrass. The data was collected from November 2004 to September 2005 by marine researchers at the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute. The shallow waters of the estuaries enabled the use of aerial photography, including purpose flown aerial surveys, and satellite imagery as the primary data source. The habitats defined in the imagery were ground truthed in the field with underwater camera equipment, echo sounder data, and a Differential GPS unit. The dataset is intended for the use of fulfilling the coastal management objectives according to The Living Marine Resources Act 1995 and to support Natural Resource management priorities in the Southern NRM region of Tasmania.

The Macquarie Harbour marine habitat project 1:25000 depicts marine habitats from Hells Gate [145d13m, -42d 13m] to the mouth of the Gordon River [145d31m, -42d26m]. The habitat types depicted in the dataset include Reef, Cobble, Silt and Sand. The data was collected through intensive field sampling from January to June 2008 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.

This dataset was compiled for the Tasmania's Marine Atlas from published sources and contains the general location of five restoration projects around Tasmania: Angasi oyster (Ostrea andasi), Giant Kelp (Macrocystis pyrifira), seagrass habitat (using Environmentally Friendly Moorings), saltmarsh fish habitat, and wetland restoration. The locations shown do not present the actual restoration sites.

The Moulting Lagoon marine habitat project 1:25000 depicts marine habitats within Moutling Lagoon [148d 11m, -42d 02m] between Swansea and Bicheno on Tasmania's east coast. The habitat types depicted in the dataset include Ruppia, Aquatic Macrophytes, Silt and Seagrass. The data was collected through intensive field sampling in July 2008 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 area to be surveyed. The dataset is intended to be used to fulfil coastal management objectives according to The Living Marine Resources Act 1995.
