Data Provider: Department for Environment and Water

Description

DescriptionThis dataset identifies the land and waters within the SA Marine Parks Network Zoning which is dedicated to conservation under the Marine Parks Act 2007. The South Australian Marine Parks were established to protect the biological diversity of South Australian coastal waters and provide for ecologically sustainable use of the States natural resources. The Government of South Australia is committed to the development of a South Australian Representative System of Marine Protected Areas (SARSMPA). Internal zoning includes Restricted Access Zones (RAZ), Sanctuary Zones (SZ), Habitat Protection Zones (HPZ), and General Managed Use Zones (GMUZ), which will be proclaimed in late 2012.
UsageDefines the zoning of the South Australian Marine Parks Network.

Data Quality

LineageLine work was digitised on screen at various scales and integrated from the following data sources: South Australian (SA) coastline (median high water), Coastal Waters of the State, Cadastral (DCDB) boundaries, NPWSA reserves boundaries and point coordinates digitised on screen using a Geographic Coordinate system GDA 94. The draft zoning was developed in conjunction with the Scientific Working Group (SWG), Marine Parks Council, Local Advisory Groups (LAG), public consultation and stakeholder advice.
CompletenessData set is complete.
Positional AccuracyThe positional accuracy of the South Australian Marine Parks Network (Internal Zoning) is related to the positional accuracy of the following data sources South Australian (SA) coastline (median high water), Coastal Waters of the State, Cadastral (DCDB) and NPWSA boundaries. The positional accuracy for data captured from the DCDB and NPWSA layers is dependent on the map scale from which the parcels were originally captured. Data captured from the SA coastline positional accuracy is quoted as +/- 25 metres and the positional accuracy for the Coastal Waters of the State is quoted as +/- 150 metres. The South Australian Marine Parks Network (Internal Zoning) was further verified through advice based on public consultation.
