Abstract
<div>The Hay Point to Hydrographers Passage Bathymetry survey was acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) onboard the MV Sea Ranger and MV Brynda during the period 13 August- 09 November 2022. This is a contracted survey conducted for the Australian Hydrographic Office by EGS as part of the Hydroscheme Industry Partnership Program (HIPP). </div><div>The survey area encompases Hay Point to Hydrographers Passage in Queensland. Bathymetry data was acquired using a Kongsberg EM2040D and Kongsberg EM 2040C systems and processed using QPS Qimera processing software. The dataset was then exported as a 30m resolution, 32 bit floating point GeoTIFF grid of the survey area.</div><div>This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.</div>
