WA Coastal Compartments Tertiary

Coastal compartments are structural features relating to geological features and landforms that can be used to provide a framework for planning and management of the coastine. The primary compartment boundaries for WA were determined by identifying major changes in rock type along the coast and changes in shoreline orientation, while incorporating complete landforms of coastal significance. The Primary compartments have been subdivided into secondary compartments based on landform associationsand then further subdivided into tertiary compartments based on individual landforms present. This dataset was commissioned by the Department of Planning and compiled by Damara Pty Ltd and the Geological Society of WA. A full report was also prepared to accompany the dataset, published August 2011. Some superficial changes have been made to the dataset since publication of the report in order to amalgamate the data into a nationwide compartment dataset developed by Geoscience Australia.Attribution for this dataset is incomplete and ongoing. Geological and geomorphological information will be added to the dataset as it acquired.

海岸分区（coastal compartments）是与地质特征及地貌相关的结构特征，可作为海岸线规划与管理的框架。西澳大利亚州（WA）的一级海岸分区边界，通过识别沿岸岩石类型的显著变化与海岸线走向的改变，并结合具有海岸重要性的完整地貌加以确定。一级海岸分区依据地貌组合划分为二级海岸分区，再依据现存的单个地貌进一步划分为三级海岸分区。本数据集由西澳规划署委托编制，由达马拉私人有限公司（Damara Pty Ltd）与西澳地质学会（Geological Society of WA）完成。本数据集配套编制了完整报告，于2011年8月发布。为将本数据集整合至澳大利亚地质调查局（Geoscience Australia）开发的全国性海岸分区数据集，报告发布后对数据集进行了小幅调整。本数据集的来源标注工作尚未完成，且仍在持续推进中。后续将随新获取的地质与地貌学资料补充至本数据集。
