A geospatial map depicting Australia's maritime jurisdiction off Southwestern Western Australia. It is one of 27 maps in the 'Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map Series' and shows the extended continental shelf approved in April 2008 and various maritime zones. The background bathymetric image combines data from a 2009 9 arc second grid and a 1997 grid by Smith and Sandwell.
Use Cases
- Analyze maritime boundaries and jurisdiction zones based on the depicted continental shelf and maritime zones.
- Study bathymetric features in southwestern Western Australia based on the combined background grid.
- Reference legal and geographical maritime claims for the region based on the Commission-approved continental shelf limits.
Strengths
- Part of a standardized series of 27 constituent maps.
- Based on an extended continental shelf approval date (April 2008) and specific bathymetric sources (2009 GA grid, 1997 Smith and Sandwell grid).
Limitations
- Data is provided only as a PDF or HTML map; underlying tabular or vector data is unavailable.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the map visualization.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
