New South Wales Coastal Waterways Geomorphic Habitat Mapping, Version 2 (1:100 000 scale digital data)

ARCHIVED

Created 13/01/2025

Updated 13/01/2025

This dataset maps the geomorphic habitat environments (facies) for 134 New South Wales coastal waterways. The classification system contains 12 easily identifiable and representative environments: Barrier/back-barrier, Bedrock, Central Basin, Channel, Coral, Flood- and Ebb-tide Delta, Fluvial (bay-head) Delta, Intertidal Flats, Mangrove, Rocky Reef, Saltmarsh/Saltflat, Tidal Sand Banks (and Unassigned). These types represent habitats found across all coastal systems in Australia. Most of the estuaries of New South Wales are under intense land use pressure with approximately 80% of the State's population living near an estuary (NSW Dept of Land and Water Conservation) .
