Abstract
This dataset contains the Level 1 Marine Bioregionalisation as defined by the National Bioregionalisation Working Group. Province boundaries have been defined from the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone to the edge of the shelf as defined in the Geomorphic Units dataset. The boundaries in this dataset define areas of core province and transitional areas of the benthic bioregions of Australia.

Lineage
The province boundaries surrounding mainland Australia and its island terrirories were taken from the shelf break from the Geomorphic Features dataset out to the AEEZ. The other boundaires were obtained by refining the CSIRO Marine Demersal fish provinces. The refining process took into account various datasets, such as geomorphic units, crustal age, bathymetry, sedimentary data and sedimentary basin data. All province boundaries run from the shelf break to the AEEZ.
