Title: Aquaculture Leases in NSW Estuaries
Custodian: NSW Fisheries
Jurisdiction: New South Wales
The Aquaculture Leases in NSW Estuaries dataset contains spatial data of NSW Fisheries Recognised Aquaculture Sites (RAS) where an aquaculture lease is or has been in place over the site. The original survey of RAS was completed under a collaborative project between the Surveyor-General's Department and NSW Fisheries from 1996 to 2000 using Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) technology and captured in WGS84 (GDA) datum. The data has been converted to AGD66 datum for use by CANRI.
- MARINE Estuaries
- FISHERIES Aquaculture Surveys
- Geographic extent name:
- NEW SOUTH WALES - State or Territory - New South Wales
Note: The format for each Geographic extent name is: Name - Identifier - Category - Jurisdiction (as appropriate)
Geographic bounding box:
The bounding box encloses the maximum extents of the dataset. There may be voids or gaps within the bounding box, depending on the defined coverage of the dataset. Outer bounding rectangle as Latitude/Longitude coordinates based on the WGS84 datum (expressed as both Degrees Minutes Seconds and as decimal Degrees):
- North bounding latitude: 28 00 00.0 S (-28.0)
- South bounding latitude: 37 30 00.0 S (-37.5)
- East bounding longitude: 154 00 00.0 E (154.0)
- West bounding longitude: 141 00 00.0 E (141.0)

Lineage:
Coordinate geometry of recognised aquaculture sites was captured by DGPS survey. This raw data is maintained by NSW Fisheries in ASCII format. The raw data has been formatted, verified to the surveyor's field sketches, and built as a GIS vector coverage through a staged process of documented data transfer. All documents and dates of processing are archived with NSW Fisheries.
Positional accuracy:
The dataset is survey accurate to the NSW Fisheries and Surveyor-General's Department's positional accuracy standard of a standard deviation of one metre or less.
Attribute accuracy:
The aspatial attributes attached to this dataset are the aquaculture lease numbers and estuary names which were correct as at the last date of database maintenance.
Logical consistency:
The dataset is maintained as a topologically correct (cleaned) dataset free of unclosed polygons, unlabelled polygons, undershooting and overshooting lines etc.
Completeness:
The dataset is complete in coverage and classification. Verification is not applicable to this dataset.
