McNeil et al. (2023) published this geospatial dataset describing seabed morphology and geomorphology for Cairns Seamount within the Coral Sea Marine Park. The Australian Ocean Data Network provides this data via an OGC Web Feature Service (WFS) for stakeholders. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06 04.
Use Cases
- Marine habitat mapping based on seabed morphology and geomorphology features.
- Conservation planning for the Coral Sea Marine Park based on seabed structure.
- Geospatial analysis of seamount environments using the OGC Web Feature Service.
Strengths
- Data is derived from a published scientific product (McNeil et al., 2023; eCat Record 147998).
- Serves a specific geographic area: Cairns Seamount within the Coral Sea Marine Park.
- Provided via a standardized OGC Web Feature Service (WFS) for interoperability.
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 bias inherent to the single study area.
