Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map for South Australia, A0 PDF

South Australia's maritime boundaries are depicted in this A0-sized map from Geoscience Australia. It is one of 27 maps in the 'Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map Series' and shows the extended continental shelf approved in 2008 and various maritime zones. The background includes bathymetric imagery from 2009 and 1997 sources and land imagery from NASA's Blue Marble.

Use Cases

• Define maritime legal boundaries for South Australia based on the depicted jurisdiction zones.
• Analyze the extent of Australia's continental shelf for geological research based on the 2008 CLCS approval.
• Create base maps for marine spatial planning using the combined bathymetric and topographic background.
• Study coastal and offshore geography using the high-resolution A0 PDF format for detailed inspection.

Strengths

• Part of a standardized series of 27 national maritime jurisdiction maps.
• Based on the formally approved extended continental shelf limits from April 2008.
• Background combines bathymetric data from two specific sources (GA 2009, Smith and Sandwell 1997).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is provided only as a static PDF and HTML, limiting machine-readability and analysis.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative uses.
