Abstract
|
The Victorian seabed habitat map documents the distribution of broad benthic habitat types in Victorian Coastal Waters to
the State’s 3 nautical mile jurisdictional limit. The map was created using a top-down modelling process whereby habitat
descriptors were assigned using seafloor structure and biological information derived from multibeam sonar (Victorian Marine
Habitat Mapping Project), bathymetric LiDAR (Future Coasts program) and observations from underwater video.
Identification of benthic biota, to the lowest discernible taxonomic level, and substrate characteristics were recorded according
to the Victorian Towed Video Classification scheme (Ierodiaconou et al. 2007).
