NSW coastal nearshore reef extent 2017

Nearshore reef extent was classified for the NSW coast using best-available high resolution aerial imagery. Statewide mapping of nearshore reef extent was performed from 2010 to 2017 along the entire NSW coastline using aerial imagery from governmental and commercial bodies. An understanding of the spatial extent and distribution of coastal habitats contributes critical baseline information to inform decision-making and strategic planning processes.

本研究利用当前可获取的最优高分辨率航空影像，对新南威尔士州（New South Wales, NSW）沿岸的近岸礁分布范围进行了分类划定。2010年至2017年，研究团队依托政府及商业机构提供的航空影像，沿新南威尔士州全域海岸线完成了全州近岸礁分布范围的制图工作。明晰海岸生境的空间范围与分布格局，可为决策制定与战略规划流程提供关键的基准性基础信息。
