<div>The Kimberley Region and WA Reefs Bathymetry was derived by EOMAP form multispectral satellite data from the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2 satellite sensor. EOMAP was contracted by Geoscience Australia (GA) to provide high-resolution (10m) Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) for the Priority Australian Seabed Mapping Sites. The survey area encompasses an area within Kimberley Region in Western Australia which includes Ashmore Reef, Browse Island, Cartier Island, Clerke Reef, Cunningham Island, Mermaid Reef, Scott Reef and Seringapatam Reef. These critical geospatial data layers provide the essential environmental baseline information for the long-term monitoring and management of these Marine Parks. Mapping the shallow water zone is of importance both from an environmental and socioeconomic perspective. Having access to digital, georeferenced, high-resolution maps of bathymetry and benthic habitats of shallow water areas, is of fundamental use in the areas of navigation, ecological research, environmental modelling, management and conservation, and monitoring the impacts from climate change. Bathymetry data was processed using the physics-based inversion method to derive quantitative information of the shallow water bathymetry using the reflected sunlight energy in different wavelengths of the visible and near infrared region.

<div>The Otway, Gippsland Basins and Bass Strait 3D seismic derived bathymetry compilation (20220007C) was produced by the University of Western Australia, Norwegian Geotechnical Institute and UniLasalle in collaboration with Geoscience Australia through the AusSeabed initiative. The compilation integrates 87 bathymetry grids derived from available and workable 3D seismic datasets into a 30 m resolution 32-bit GeoTIFF, including both reflection and navigation derived data. A detailed workflow is described in: Lebrec, U., Paumard, V., O'Leary, M. J., and Lang, S. C., 2021, Towards a regional high-resolution bathymetry of the North West Shelf of Australia based on Sentinel-2 satellite images, 3D seismic surveys, and historical datasets: Earth System Science Data, v. 13, no. 11, p. 5191-5212 https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-13-5191-2021, 2021.</div><div><br></div><div>This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.</div><div><br></div>

Detailed seabed bathymetric data are needed to better understand our marine environment because models of seabed morphology derived from these data provide useful insights into physical processes that act on the seabed and the location of different types of seabed habitats. Lord Howe Island lies approximately 450km off the northern coast of New South Wales. It is a volcanic island with a fringing coral reef on its western shore, and a shallow (20 - 120 m) shelf surrounds the island. Bathymetry data are required in this area to help identify major seabed processes and habitats, especially relict reef structures, and to measure how well physical seabed properties act as surrogates of patterns of biodiversity on this mid-ocean carbonate shelf. The data are also required to enable modelling of tsunami as they interact with the shelf around the island and the coast. This report describes the methodology employed in creating detailed bathymetry data grids of the Lord Howe Island region. It covers data collection, quality control and gridding. Descriptions are provided of each dataset employed, the methods used to integrate the different datasets and the attributes of the new bathymetry models. Four new bathymetry grids are presented, including grids that integrate bathymetry with the island's topography.

<div>The Ashmore Reef and Cartier Island Marine Parks&nbsp;Bathymetry was derived by EOMAP form multispectral satellite data from WorldView-3 satellite sensor. This was acquired by the Australian Government as part of the Marine Parks Grant - Round 3, in 2022-2023 and undertaken by EOMAP Australia Pty Ltd and EOMAP GmbH & Co.KG. The survey area encompasses the Ashmore Reef and Cartier Island Marine Parks in Western Australia. These critical geospatial data layers provide the essential environmental baseline information for the long-term monitoring and management of these Marine Parks. Mapping the shallow water zone is of importance both from an environmental and socioeconomic perspective.

<div>The Shark Bay Bathymetry was derived form a time series of multispectral satellite data from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite sensor, acquired between January 2017 and December 2020. This dataset was produced by the University of Western Australia to support student research projects. The dataset encompasses the Shark Bay in Western Australia. These critical geospatial data layers provide the essential environmental baseline information for the long-term monitoring and management. Mapping the shallow water zone is of importance both from an environmental and socioeconomic perspective. Bathymetry data was processed following the workflow of Lebrec et al. (2021) [https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-13-5191-2021]. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes. This dataset is published with the permission of the CEO, Geoscience Australia.</div>
