Full description

The ArcInfo grid represents the direct distance from any location to the nearest Australian coast line. The distance unit is decimal degree. This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub and is hosted temporarily by CMAR on behalf of Geoscience Australia.

Lineage

Progress Code: completed
Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement: The data was created in ArcGIS Desktop using the following procedure. 1.converted the coast250k polygon feature class into a line feature class; 2.selected Australian main coast lines, tasmania, and several offshore major islands; 3. simplified the selected features using a 30 km tolerance; 4. calculated euclidean distance from it to obtain the ArcInfo grid.
