Lineage
Descriptions of Commonwealth Fisheries boundaries, found in the Fisheries Management Regulations 1992 and/or relevant Management Plans, were interpreted and digitised into a Geographic Information System (GIS), and subsequently attributed. Where national maritime limits formed part of these boundaries, current AMBIS 2001 data was directly extracted and appended into the coverages. Where fisheries included coastline or low water information, GEODATA Coast 100K coastline data was used as it provided a nationally consistent dataset; was of the right level of detail for the project (eg closed river mouths); and, resulted in a manageable file size for distribution. Any intersections between boundary lines were rigorously calculated using specialised geodetic software.
