Maritime Jurisdiction Map of Tasmania with Bathymetric Background

A geospatial map depicting Australia's maritime jurisdiction around Tasmania, including the South Tasman Rise and Victoria. It is one of 27 constituent maps in the 'Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map Series' and shows the extended continental shelf approved in April 2008. The map uses a Lambert projection and combines bathymetric data from 2009 and 1997 with NASA land imagery.

Use Cases

• Analyze maritime zone boundaries based on the depicted extended continental shelf and various zones.
• Study bathymetric features around Tasmania based on the combined GA and Smith and Sandwell grid background.
• Reference jurisdictional claims for legal or policy work based on the Commission-approved continental shelf limits.
• Create regional map composites based on this map being part of a 27-map national series.

Strengths

• Part of a standardized national map series comprising 27 constituent maps.
• Based on authoritative data, including the continental shelf limits approved by the Commission in April 2008.
• Background combines multiple data sources, including a 2009 9 arc-second grid and a 1997 grid by Smith and Sandwell.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is presented as a static PDF/A0 map, limiting direct computational analysis.
• The description does not include Macquarie Ridge, indicating a specific geographic scope.
