Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map with 2018 Timor-Leste Treaty Update

A wall map depicts the outer limits of Australia's maritime zones, including its extended continental shelf approved by the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf in April 2008. The map uses a seabed background from Etopo2 and land imagery from NASA's Blue Marble. It was updated in March 2020 to reflect the 2018 Australia-Timor-Leste Maritime Boundaries Treaty.

Use Cases

• Visualizing maritime boundaries based on the described continental shelf limits.
• Referencing treaty-defined zones based on the 2018 Australia-Timor-Leste Maritime Boundaries Treaty.
• Creating educational or reference materials based on the described seabed and land imagery.

Strengths

• Includes an update from March 2020 reflecting a 2018 international treaty.
• Uses authoritative base imagery from NASA's Blue Marble and Etopo2 seabed data.

Limitations

• The map is described as 'indicative only' and 'should NOT be used as a definitive source of information'.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
