Maritime Jurisdiction Map of Macquarie Island with Bathymetric Background

Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction around Macquarie Island is a geospatial map depicting Australia's extended continental shelf, treaties, and maritime zones. It is one of 27 constituent maps in the 'Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map Series' (GeoCat 71789). The map uses a Lambert Conformal Conic Projection and its background bathymetry combines data from a 2009 9 arc second grid and a 1997 grid by Smith and Sandwell.

Use Cases

• Analyze maritime boundary definitions based on the depicted extended continental shelf and treaties.
• Study bathymetric features around Macquarie Island based on the combined background grid data.
• Reference cartographic projections for regional mapping based on the use of the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection.
• Integrate jurisdictional data for marine spatial planning based on the map's depiction of various maritime zones.

Strengths

• Part of a standardized series of 27 constituent maps (GeoCat 71789).
• Background bathymetry is derived from a combination of a 2009 9 arc second grid and a 1997 grid.
• Depicts multiple jurisdictional elements: extended continental shelf (approved April 2008), treaties, and maritime zones.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is provided as a static A0-sized PDF, limiting direct computational analysis.
• Freshness should be verified; the last metadata update is 2026-04-10 21:55:50.720473.
