Full description
Sediment cells are spatially discrete areas of the coast within which marine and terrestrial landforms are likely to be connected through processes of sediment exchange, often described using sediment budgets. They include areas of sediment supply (sources), sediment loss (sinks), and the sediment transport processes linking them (pathways). Sediment transport pathways include both alongshore and cross-shore processes, and therefore cells are best represented in two-dimensions. They are natural management units with a physical basis and commonly cross jurisdictional boundaries.

Purpose
This polygon feature class represents the Tertiary Sediment Cell boundries for Western Australia. This dataset is held by the Department of Transport, Fremantle. Tertiary - Sediment Cell Type defines spatially discrete areas of the coast within which marine and terrestrial landforms are likely to be connected through processes of sediment exchange, often described using sediment budgets. They are natural management units with a physical basis. This dataset represents cells that have been mapped as a hierarchy of primary, secondary and tertiary coastal sediment cells to incorporate three space and time (spatio-temporal) scales. Cells at the tertiary-scale have not had the boundaries mapped for many of the Regions. Only the Vlamingh Region has been mapped currently.
