The map provides a visual representation of the carbonate content of seabed sediments expressed as a weight percentage. The data are represented from 0 to 100%. The data on which this map is based were compiled from marine sediment database (MARS - http://www.ga.gov.au/oracle/mars/) of Geoscience Australia. This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub and is hosted temporarily by CMAR on behalf of Geoscience Australia.
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.
