Browse Shelf Reef Polygons

Browse Shelf reef polygons were manually digitized from multibeam echosounder datasets collected on marine survey GA0345/GA0346/TAN1411 in October/November 2014. Reef areas were defined as exposed, hard substrate that are often raised above the surrounding seafloor. The continental shelf was defined using the 200 m depth contour. They were mapped using bathymetry and backscatter data along with bathymetric derivatives including; slope, hillshaded bathymetry and contours. Features were mapped at a scale of 1:10 000. This dataset is published with the permission of the CEO, Geoscience Australia.
