Brief description

An environmental classification developed in conjunction with the NSW Marine Parks Authority Research Committee. For more information see: Breen D.A. and R.P. Avery. (2002). Broad-scale biodiversity assessment of the Manning Shelf marine bioregion. Draft final report for the NSW Marine Parks Authority. Copies of the report may be borrowed from the library: Environment Australia, GPO Box 787, Canberra ACT 2601 Australia. This coverage is intended for used in regional level marine conservation assessment. It was prepared using very low cost techniques (ie. unrectified API) and should not be relied upon for navigation purposes. ----------------------------------- This record describes the environmental classification of the four ocean ocean ecosystems classified by depth. The full study also describes classes for each of the five major estuary ecosystems, and nine habitat surrogates.

Statement: The continental shelf was partitioned into four depth zones 0-20 m, 20-60 m and 60-200 m with a fourth zone (>200 m) extending beyond the outer edge of the continental shelf (Table 7a and 9). Zones were mapped directly from the Waterway Authority's GIS layer of depth contours (derived from Australian Hydrographic Office data). The number and location of zones is not based on any defined ecological boundary, but rather reflects general patterns in the cross shelf variation in oceanography, sediments and biological diversity. Limitations: Using depth alone to predict ocean biodiversity is an oversimplification of a complex environment.
