Australian Ocean Data Network provides a map showing 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' (GeoCat 71789). The map depicts the extended continental shelf approved in April 2008 and uses a bathymetric background derived from 2009 and 1997 grids.
Use Cases
- Analyze maritime boundary claims based on the depiction of the extended continental shelf.
- Study bathymetric features of the Tasman Sea region based on the combined grid background.
- Compare jurisdictional zones within the Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map Series.
- Create derivative cartographic products for the Tasmanian maritime region.
- Verify continental shelf limits for legal or educational purposes.
Strengths
- Part of a standardized series of 27 maps providing consistent jurisdictional data.
- Based on an extended continental shelf boundary approved by an international commission in April 2008.
- Background bathymetry combines 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.
