Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map for South Australia

One map from the 27-constituent 'Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map Series'. It depicts Australia's extended continental shelf approved in April 2008 and various maritime zones off South Australia. The background combines bathymetric data from a 2009 9 arc second grid and a 1997 grid by Smith and Sandwell, with land imagery from NASA's Blue Marble.

Use Cases

• Visualize maritime boundaries based on the depicted zones and the 2008 continental shelf approval
• Analyze bathymetric features using the combined background grid data mentioned in the description
• Reference jurisdictional limits for marine spatial planning off the coast of South Australia

Strengths

• Part of a defined series of 27 constituent maps
• Based on a specific continental shelf approval from April 2008
• Background combines bathymetric data from two cited sources (2009 GA grid and 1997 Smith and Sandwell grid)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to data_gov_au
