<div>The AusSeabed Bathymetry Compilations Coverage Database contains polygon extents of bathymetry data acquisitions along with identifying attributes and contact details where the data is not held by Geoscience Australia. It is an important scientific resource that identifies data spanning coastal, continental shelf and deep sea locations. </div><div><br></div><div>This dataset is live and will continue to be augmented as coverage details are supplied from AusSeabed collaborators who wish to share their knowledge of data availability to the broader marine community. The database is updated regularly and is made available via the AusSeabed Marine Data Portal using OGC compliant web services. Compilations have been generated from one or more Survey/Data Acquisitions by a wide range of organisations and countries, both inside and outside Australia's marine jurisdiction, using multiple systems and for various applications. Compilation coverages are published where the polygon extents intersects with Australia's marine jurisdiction, including the Australian Antarctic Territory. Each polygon in the layer contains metadata describing compilation details. </div><div>Note that polygons may not be representative of the true survey extent due to the data gridding process. </div><div><br></div><div>Please contact us at ausseabed@ga.gov.au if you wish to contribute coverage information to the database.</div>
