Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map for the Coral and Tasman Seas

One of 27 maps in the 'Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map Series' (GeoCat 71789). The map depicts Australia's extended continental shelf approved in April 2008, treaties, and various maritime zones, with a background derived from bathymetric and topographic grids from 2009 and 1997. It is an A0-sized PDF published by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Analyze maritime zone boundaries based on depicted treaties and jurisdictions
• Study continental shelf extents based on the 2008 Commission-approved limits
• Incorporate bathymetric background for oceanographic or geological research based on the described grids

Strengths

• Part of a standardized series of 27 constituent maps (GeoCat 71789)
• Depicts legally significant boundaries approved by the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf in April 2008
• Background imagery combines bathymetric data from 2009 and 1997 sources

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data is provided as a static PDF and HTML, limiting direct computational analysis
