Note: this dataset description is metadata (data about data) which describes the actual dataset in accordance with the ANZLIC (Australia New Zealand Land Information Council) Core Metadata Guidelines Version 2 (February 2001)
ANZLIC unique identifier: ANZNS0364000086
Title: NSW Fisheries Management Area
Custodian: NSW Fisheries
Jurisdiction: New South Wales
This dataset is created by Fisheries Service Unit of NSW Fisheries. It is a polygon coverage that shows the management area for each district office. The boundaries is created with 1/25000 scale Roads and River datalayers from LIP and the additional line by screen digitising.
- FISHERIES Management
- Geographic extent name:
- NEW SOUTH WALES - State or Territory - New South Wales
- Geographic extent polygon:
- 141 -37.5, 154 -37.5, 154 -28, 141 -28, 141 -37.5
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)
- South bounding latitude: 37 30 00.0 S (-37.5)
- East bounding longitude: 154 00 00.0 E (154)
- West bounding longitude: 141 00 00.0 E (141)
Lineage:
This dataset is created by Fisheries Service Section of NSW Fisheries, in consultation with management and Fisheries field officers. Some of the boundaries lines were extracted from the 1/25,000 scale River and Roads data layers from LPI with addintional line by screen digitising in ArcInfo.
