The datasets contain summaries of Queensland aquaculture locations in state marine and estuarine waters. The data has been recorded and submitted to Queensland DPI.

The datasets contain summaries of Victorian aquaculture locations in state marine and estuarine waters. The data has been recorded and submitted to Victoria DPI.

This record is derived from DEC Marine Policy Branch Endnote library and spatially referenced SIER Database.

As part of an ongoing initiative to ensure the sustainability of the State's marine resources, the South Australian Government instigated new management arrangements for charter boat operators. From the 30th of July 2005 all charter boat operators were required to be licensed, and on the 1st August 2005 the Fisheries Management (Charter Boat Fishery) Regulations 2005 were formally introduced.

The datasets contain summaries of Tasmania Natural Resources and Environment logbook data on catch and effort distribution for Tasmanian commercial fisheries in state marine and estuarine waters. The logbook data has been recorded and submitted to NRE by commercial fishers. The data are aggregated to produce summaries of total catch and effort by fishery at a 5 degree resolution where 5 boats or more operate. For areas where less than 5 boats operate the data is shown as confidential. The data was mapped using 5 year - financial year periods; 2003/04 to 2007/08, 2008/09 to 2012/13, 2018/19 to 2022/23, and 1 year; 2022/23.

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.
