What do we know about the CMRs and KEFs in Australia's N and NW regions?

In 2016, researchers from Project D1 of the Marine Biodiversity Hub of the National Environmental Science Programme used publicly available datasets to identify where physical and biological data exist across the Commonwealth Marine Reserves and Key Ecological Features of Australia's N and NW regions. Learn more by reading chapter 3 in the 2017 FINAL REPORT. Scroll down or use the chart below to see maps that show the results.
