This map shows the area of the Kuuku Ya'u Native Title Claim, which extends approximately between Olive River and Nyllichi Point in Cape York Peninsula, Queensland. The map was produced for the Attorney-General's Department. Not for public distribution.

This map was produced as part of a 2006 series depicting Australian commonwealth fisheries and shows the area of the Southern Tuna and Billfish Fishery. The series of pdf's are available for public download from AFMA's website and the shapefiles for public download from GA's website.

A new research vessel will replace the Southern Surveyor as Australia's marine national facility in 2013. CSIRO is leading the commissioning of the new vessel. An increased level of Federal Government funding means that a very high quality vessel, with excellent equipment and adequate support staff, will be at sea for about 300 days per year from 2013. The new vessel will be about 85 m long, ice strengthened, with a large open rear deck, have a range of 12,000 nautical miles, an endurance of 60 days, and be able to carry a scientific contingent of up to 50, which is a significant improvement over the current situation. It will be a very thoroughly equipped vessel (see www. marine.csiro.au/nationalfacillity/management/RCAP_PII_Report_Exposure_Draft.pdf). As far as marine geoscience requirements are concerned, the vessel will be fitted with full-ocean depth (5-8,000 m) multibeam sonars and a sub-bottom profiler so that for the first time it can map our entire marine jurisdiction. Other essential geoscience equipment includes: deep-sea winches and heavy wire for dredging, long (up to 30 m) piston-corer, deep-water grabs with camera, and 2D capable seismic system. Detailed specifications, including equipment type and capabilities, were drawn up in 2009 and formed the basis of the Statement of Requirements based on consultation with the marine geoscience community (see http://www.iodp.org.au/index.php?p=news). There is no doubt that the new vessel will be a huge step forward for Australian marine science. There will be a focus on multi-disciplinary voyages and an active program for student participation. This vessel is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to develop the capability required for Australia to better understand and manage our huge marine jurisdiction. This will underpin and enhance Australia's international reputation as a leading marine science nation.

This map has been created to support the Taruman illegal fishing court case, and is part of a map series. It shows recorded suspected long line locations and aerial photograph locations within Australia's AFZ around Macquarie Island for Exhibit 11/09/05-4.1, Exhibit 11/09/05-4.3, and Exhibit 14/09/05-1.1. It also shows the "MaxSea" ship locations for the Taruman with the additional longline coordinates added to the ship locations but does not show the ship route.

This map was produced as part of a 2006 series depicting Australian commonwealth fisheries and shows the area of the Trochus Fishery within the Torres Strait Fishery. The series of pdf's are available for public download from AFMA's website and the shapefiles for public download from GA's website.

This map shows the maritime boundaries north of Australia with the General Bathymetric Chart of the Ocean (GEBCO) bathymetry as a background. It was produced by MSIBA Project of the Marine and Coastal Enivornment Group, PMD for internal use by the Australian Fisheries Management Authority for the tracking of illegal Foreign Fishing Vessels in the waters of Australia.

This abstract describes the results of integrated potential firld modelling and deep-seismic interpretation from the Enderby Land and Wilkes Land margins of East Antarctica. The interpretation is based on data acquired under the Australian Antarctic and Southern Ocean Profiling Project.

The Australian National Marine Data Group was formed by the Heads of Marine Agencies (HOMA) to promote improved interchange of marine data in Australia. The ANMDG held a workshop of practitioners in May 2002 with the intention of identifying major areas of interest and tasks for working groups to address in order to make progress with development of marine data interchange in Australia. This Proceedings CD contains the presentations by speakers in the form of PowerPoint slides and a few Acrobat documents. It was distributed to participants in the workshop.
