Northern Territory Coastal Waterways Geomorphic Habitat Mapping (1:100 000 scale digital data)

This dataset maps the geomorphic habitat environments (facies) for 15 Northern Territory coastal waterways. The classification system contains 9 easily identifiable and representative environments: Bedrock, Channel, Flood- and Ebb-tide Delta, Fluvial (bay-head) Delta, Intertidal Flats, Mangrove, Rocky Reef, Saltmarsh/Saltflat, Tidal Sand Banks (and Unassigned). These types represent habitats found across all coastal systems in Australia. Most of the 15 coastal waterways have a "Near Pristine" environmental condition (as opposed to "Modified"), according to the National Land and Water Resources Audit definition. Estuaries in the Northern Territory are predominantly tide-dominated barrier estuaries.

本数据集针对北领地15条沿海水道，完成了其地貌栖息地环境（facies）的分类制图。该分类体系包含9种易于识别且具有代表性的类型：基岩、水道、涨落潮三角洲、河控（湾顶）三角洲、潮间带滩涂、红树林、岩礁、盐沼/盐滩、潮流沙坝（及未分类项）。上述类型覆盖了澳大利亚所有沿海系统中的各类栖息地。根据澳大利亚国家土地与水资源审计的定义，15条沿海水道中的绝大多数处于"近乎原始"的环境状态（区别于"受改造"状态）。北领地的河口以潮汐主控型障壁河口为主。
