NSW coastal nearshore reef extent 2017

Nearshore reef extent was classified for the NSW coast using best-available high resolution aerial imagery. Statewide mapping of nearshore reef extent was performed from 2010 to 2017 along the entire NSW coastline using aerial imagery from governmental and commercial bodies. An understanding of the spatial extent and distribution of coastal habitats contributes critical baseline information to inform decision-making and strategic planning processes.
