Benthic Communities of the Gunn Point Peninsula, 2020

This polygon spatial dataset describes the benthic habitats likely to occur in marine environments around Gunn Point Peninsula and informs the desktop assessment of the marine biodiversity values for the region.

The benthic habitats are inferred from existing information but in most cases require further data collection to validate and refine.

Habitat modelling forms the basis of benthic community value assessment for Shoal Bay (Galaiduk et al. 2019).

The accompanying report Marine and Coastal Biodiversity Assessment of the Gunn Point Area (2020) forms part of the Mapping the Future Project - Gunn Point.
This project has identified land capability, water availability and biodiversity values to support land planning and inform development potential over the Gunn Point area. Reports and maps can be viewed from the webpage: denr.nt.gov.au/land-resource-management/development-opportunities

本多边形空间数据集（polygon spatial dataset）描述了冈恩角半岛（Gunn Point Peninsula）周边海域可能存在的底栖生境（benthic habitats），可为该区域海洋生物多样性价值的桌面评估提供支撑。

该底栖生境基于现有信息推断得出，但多数情况下仍需进一步的数据采集以验证和细化其结果。

生境建模（habitat modelling）是浅湾（Shoal Bay）底栖群落价值评估的基础（Galaiduk等，2019）。

随附的《冈恩角区域海洋与海岸生物多样性评估》（2020）报告属于"绘制未来项目——冈恩角（Mapping the Future Project - Gunn Point）"的组成部分。

该项目已明确土地潜力、水资源可利用量与生物多样性价值，旨在为冈恩角区域的土地规划提供支撑，并为该区域的开发潜力研判提供参考。相关报告与地图可通过以下网页查阅：denr.nt.gov.au/land-resource-management/development-opportunities
