Benthic Marine Bioregionalisation of Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone: A Report to the National Oceans Office on the Development of a National Benthic Marine Bioregionalisation in support of Regional Marine Planning

The benthic (sea floor) component of the National Marine Bioregionalisation covers the 80% of Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone that lies beyond the continental shelf break. It provides a description of patterns of biological distributions and physical habitats on the seafloor.

The Benthic Bioregionalisation Report is a technical document describing how the benthic bioregions were created. It includes descriptions of all the datasets used, details of each bioregion, and examples of how the physical data may be used to sub-divide the marine bioregions for management. An evaluation of the benthic bioregionalisation including strengths, weaknesses and future work is also contained in the report.

国家海洋生物区划的底栖（海床）组分涵盖了澳大利亚专属经济区（Exclusive Economic Zone）中位于大陆架坡折带以外的80%海域。该组分描述了海床之上的生物分布格局与物理生境类型。

《底栖生物区划报告》是一份阐述底栖生物区划单元构建流程的技术文档。报告涵盖了所使用的全部数据集说明、各生物区划单元的详细信息，以及利用物理数据进一步划分海洋生物区划以服务于管理工作的实例。此外，报告中还包含了对底栖生物区划的评估内容，涵盖其优势、不足及未来研究方向。
