Australian Marine Spatial Information System (AMSIS)

The Australian Marine Spatial Information System (AMSIS) is a web based interactive mapping and decision support system that improves access to integrated government and non-government information in the Australian Marine Jurisdiction.

AMSIS is a decision support tool maintained by Geoscience Australia that brings together information required by Government, industry and private individuals with an interest in the regulation, geography and uses of Australia’s Marine Jurisdiction. AMSIS provides a mechanism to visualise competing interests in the marine space; using curated data from across Government, State, and academia to expose competing use, and enable discussion with the multi-sectoral users to better plan and manage the Jurisdiction.

AMSIS contains many layers of information displayed in themes of Australia’s Maritime Boundaries, Petroleum, Fisheries, Environment, Native Title and general Regulation.

Geoscience Australia is working with other Australian Government agencies, Industry and Academia to add additional information that will improve the functionality of AMSIS.

All information provided in AMSIS is the best available at the time of publication. Although the best efforts have been made to ensure the information is current and accurate, the information is not warranted to be correct. Users should investigate the metadata records to understand the limitations on any information layer, and consult with the regulating agency before making any decision.
