(2009), and advice from the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub, to give a complete depth by bioregion coverage for Australian waters. The data was generated as part of the marine bioregional planning process to assist with decision making in relation to meeting Goal 2 of the NRSMPA Goals and Principles.Departmental Deed Data is available under licence.
