Continental Shelf Definition in the Kerguelen Plateau Region

Kerguelen Plateau region data concerns a marine survey and legal proposal for defining the continental shelf under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The dataset is a legacy product from Geoscience Australia, presented as a proposal document. Its cross-platform presence indicates it is an official government record related to marine jurisdiction.
