Title

Marine Seabed Habitat Mapping (HABMAP) Extent, New South Wales

Alternative title(s)

Seabed habitat maps, NSW

Abstract

The spatial extent of seabed habitat data collected & collated for New South Wales Coastal waters. The HABMAP program has provided fine scale benthic habitat information for NSW State Waters. Targeted areas use surveyed bathymetric and backscatter layers for Habitat classification. Data is collected using a pole mounted Geoswath 125KHZ Interferometric sidescan sonar system. Data are tide, sound velocity and motion corrected and are accurate to the sub-metre level (DGPS). The shape file presented here is a collation of the spatial extent of the area of mapped sea floor habitat data from a variety of sources including; the OEH HABMAP program, digitised from aerial photographs and plotted external high resolution bathymetric data as well as historical habitat data.

Lineage

The dataset is updated with regular frequency to include newly surveyed areas or newly acquired data. It has been updating since 2005 when initial HABMAP surveys were undertaken. For the HABMAP data, shape files of survey coverage are derived from the rasters of bathymetry/ backscatter of surveys. Habitat data, source data for habitats and other spatial products can be obtained from the data custodians, upon request.

DQ Completeness Commission

Effective date

2015-05-01

Explanation

The coverage of the dataset is complete at time of revision

DQ Completeness Omission

Effective date

2015-05-01

Explanation

At the time of revision the dataset includes all processed areas of mapped seabed habitat, collected using the Geoswath to date. Data acquisition and processing is likely to continue beyond 2015 at this time. The dataset is a true reflection of the data holdings of OEH at the time of revision. It is not a definitive coverage of all seabed habitat data in NSW Coastal Waters.

DQ Conceptual Consistency

Effective date

2015-05-01

Explanation

As the dataset reflects geographical Areas that are either inside or outside the data layer, conceptual consistency is complete.

DQ Topological Consistency

Effective date

2015-05-01

Explanation

Topological consistency and correct feature geometry have been positively assessed using the ArcGIS for Desktop - Repair Geometry functionality to ensure adequacy.

DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy

Effective date

2222-02-22

Explanation

Positional accuracy is varied, depending upon method of survey acquisition. Additional information for each survey area is available within the source datasets available upon request.

DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness

Effective date

2015-05-01

Explanation

As the possession of survey data presence is detailed the attribute accuracy is assessed at 100%
