Spatial extent: Australian Region of Interest
The region of interest defined for the AusSeabed initiative is relevant mainly to the Data Hub program theme; the other themes have application beyond the region of interest defined here. To account for Australia’s jurisdictional and international obligations, the Data Hub will handle seafloor data that meet one or more of the following criteria:
·        collected or commissioned by Australian entities
·        within the legal boundaries of the Australian Continental Shelf and the Australian Charting Zone
·        is considered of value to the Australian marine community.
Following these criteria will also limit duplication of work undertaken by other international repositories, such as the International Hydrographic Organisation Data Centre for Digital Bathymetry (IHO DCDB) hosted by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
