Euclidean distance to the Australian coast line
The ArcInfo grid represents the direct distance from any location to the nearest Australian coast line. The distance unit is decimal degree. This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub and is hosted temporarily by CMAR on behalf of Geoscience Australia.

- Statement
-
The data was created in ArcGIS Desktop using the following procedure. 1.converted the coast250k polygon feature class into a line feature class; 2.selected Australian main coast lines, tasmania, and several offshore major islands; 3. simplified the selected features using a 30 km tolerance; 4. calculated euclidean distance from it to obtain the ArcInfo grid.
