Aerial survey of giant kelp on the east coast of Tasmania

An aerial survey of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera), was carried out on the east coast of Tasmania from Musselroe Bay to Southeast Cape. This survey represents part of a series of similar surveys, with historic aerial surveys having been conducted in 1986, 1999 and 2009. This survey was conducted via light aircraft in Nov-Dec 2019, and recorded areas of visible surface canopy cover of giant kelp. Canopy areas were scribed in-flight onto 1:50,000 topographic maps (TASMAP 2017), and complimentary photo and video footage was collected. Canopy areas were digitised with reference to photo, video and map data within QGIS 3.4, and boundaries were checked against Seamap Australia seafloor habitats (Lucieer et al. 2017) and bathymetric data (Smith 2016). Each bed was attributed a broad and fine scale location, density and reliability estimate (see attached report for details).
This survey was completed with funding from Pennicott Wilderness Journeys, Tassal and IMAS, and equal in-kind support by Marine Solutions and Seacare Inc.

Fauna Significance

This dataset records the significance of potential fauna habitat within the coastal strip of the Northern and Southern National Resource Management (NRM) Regions of Tasmania.
    It has been developed as a management tool and is a summary layer derived from the PotentialFuanaHabitat layer.  The 'Significance' of the mapped polygons reflects the 'Significance' of the species with the highest threat status for which the polygon represents potential habitat.  Only vegetation community polygons that represent threatened fauna habitat are included therefore the layer is not continuous.  
This dataset is part of the NRM Coastal Values Project.  The Project maps vegetation, fauna habitat and geomorphology from High Water mark to 100 metres inland for part of the coastline of the Southern and Northern NRM Regions of Tasmania.  The purpose of the coastal values mapping is to provide an easily accessible database on vegetation and geomorphology to support better strategic planning, land use planning and management on the coast.

Forestry Field Book Index

The Forestry Field Book Index is a spatial index consisting of polylines indicating boundary surveys covered in field books obtained from Forestry Tasmania. The field books have been scanned as PDF files with the original field books being currently stored at the Archives Office. 
Index and field books are currently only relevant to the â¿Southern Districtâ¿ of Forestry Tasmania. This district extended north to Great Lake/Fingal Valley &amp; West to the South West Conservation Area.
The Field books are generally indexed by 7 number digit (eg 4627-005).
o   First 4 digits reference the 25k topographical map tile relevant to the job locality.
o   Last 3 digits represent a sequential job number.
In the majority of instances the Index polylines have been digitized over the existing Cadastral boundary layers which may not necessarily be representative of the actual boundary determination described in the field book. Attributes of the Forestry Field Book Index include the MapNo (25k map tile), SurveyNo (3 digit sequential job number), date of survey and type of boundary marking (painted, flagged, cleared or none). The notes attribute may also describe the method of survey (GPS, total station, compass and type). The attribute information shown is only as accurate as that detailed on the face of the field book.
The indexed boundaries shown are relevant as at the date of survey. Subsequent land dealings following the surveys shown may have resulted in changes in boundary locations.

Modelled Land Capability of Tasmania - Lake Sorell 100,000 Mapsheet

A predictive model has been established and tested to account for variations in the landscape to reflect changes in agricultural land capability class (on a progressive rating of 1: good - 7: poor). This dataset (and map) provides a prediction of the most likely land capability class to be expected in a particular location based on several layers of readily available information. These layers included geology, rainfall, slope, elevation, forest cover and surface drainage status. These data layers were input into a Geographic Information System modelling framework. Using previous experience and limited visits in the field, the output has been produced as a digital dataset and 1: 100,000 map. It was found to provide a relatively good impression of the landscapes potential for agricultural persuits (ie cropping and grazing). It was found to represent changes in capability class very well where geology, climate or slope control capability. In those areas where subsurface drainage controlled land capability it was found to be less reliable. Overall however as these areas of the State were previously devoid of any broadscale land resource information for this purpose - this map provides a valuable fist step in discerning land capability.

TASMANIAN QUATERNARY COASTAL SEDIMENTS DIGITAL POLYGON MAP VERSION 4.0 (2006)

The Tasmanian Quaternary Coastal Sediments polygon map is a digital map encoding a range of geomorphic and related attributes describing the soft Quaternary-age coastal sediment and landform types on the coastal areas of Tasmania and its major islands including the Bass Strait islands, but not Macquarie Island.  The original version of the map was compiled between during 2004 by Chris Sharples, by combining earlier map coverage's compiled in 1998 for the Tasmanian WNW coasts, and in 2001 for the SE Tasmania coast.  Subsequent field mapping by Frances Mowling and Chris Sharples during 2005 ' 2006 (funded by Natural Resource Management (NRM) projects), and  information extracted from published geological mapping, has been added to the map for eastern Tasmania and Flinders Island, and it is now (2006) in its 4th version.  A data dictionary accompanying the data set and available from the custodian gives a detailed explanation of attributes and other information about the map.
The map comprises polygons mapped at a variety of scales in different parts of the state (1:25,000 to 1:250,000 scale) and geo-referenced to the GDA94 datum.  Each polygon is tagged with a range of attribute codes describing sediment types, landforms and (where relevant) dune mobility.  The geomorphic data is presented in a simple descriptive format which is applicable to a wide range of coastal management and research purposes.
The map provides more complete mapping of coastal Quaternary sediments than do Tasmanian Geological Survey maps (which compromise Quaternary mapping cover by depicting both Quaternary sediments and bedrock in a single layer), however the Tasmanian Quaternary Coastal Sediments polygon map has not yet been compiled for the southern and south-western coastal areas of the Tasmanian mainland, and is complete but at widely varying scales in other parts of the State.

Correlated Reconnaissance Soil Map of Tasmania - Beaconsfield-Georgetown

Digital representation of the revised draft Beaconsfield and Georgetown Soil Association Maps, originally surveyed by CSIRO  in 1961. Original mapping scale was 1 inch to 1 mile (1:63 000), which was then reproduced at a smaller scale of 1:100 000 by CSIRO Division of Soils. The original data was prepared as a draft only. The revised maps were digitally reproduced by DPIWE at the smaller scale. The soil map covers much of the northern and eastern sections of the Tamar 1:100 000 topographic mapsheet area and a proportion of the south-western extent of the St Patricks 1:100 000 mapsheet area.
The data is comprised of lines and polygons. Soil data attributes include soil mapping unit, unit code, unit description, and the Australian Soil Classification, Great Soil Group classification and soil profile class for the dominant soil. Additional soil information is displayed as annotation on both the Arcview version of the digital map and on the paper map.  Attribute data for the soil profile description sample site locations displayed on the digital and non-digital maps are stored in the DPIWE Oracle database. These sites were collected by CSIRO and DPIWE for a range of projects. They are listed as a separate metadata entry.  A written report describing the soil map data is available as 'Revised Beaconsfield-Georgetown Reconnaissance Soil Map of Tasmania. Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment'.

Organic Soils Characteristics Map

This layer was produced by the Organic Soils Mapping (OSM) project, a project undertaken by DPIPWE Natural Values Conservation Branch between 2019 and 2021. This project received grant funding from the Australian Government through the Australian Heritage Grants Program, funding from 2017 Tasmanian Bushfire Mitigation fund and The Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area fund. This project has used existing (legacy) data from previous Tasmanian land resource assessment studies, spatial data sets, expert desktop inputs, and newly captured site data from the AHG grant project activities. This project has collated these data to produce this and a further 6 spatial layers that show (presence /absence sites) and predict the likely distribution and characteristics of Organic Soils in Tasmania.
The project was focused on the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA), with modelling applied state-wide to assist in organic soil identification elsewhere.
The Organic Soil Mapping was undertaken to specifically identify organic soil extent in the TWWHA and to increases the understanding of the organic soil landscapes and characteristics in greater Tasmania. Organic soil areas are recognised globally as ecologically significant. These landscapes support a diverse range of ecosystems. They also provide and control ecosystem services/processes and provide highly valued carbon and water storage functions. These project outputs aim to improve and assist conservation and management of these important soil landscapes. The mapping was performed using a combination of 30m resolution modelling (Digital Soil Mapping (DSM)), expert digitising, with TASVEG, soil mapping and wetlands datasets as masks.  A DSM approach was chosen due to the sparse and limited nature of existing and new field data due to the remote and difficult access.  DSM involves using soil site data, intersected with a range of spatial environmental predictor datasets (covariates) to develop a series of landscape models, showing the variation in various soil properties between calibration points through interpolation and extrapolation (Kidd et al 2015).  A range of OSM characteristics; extent and likelihood, depth, and drainage were combined into a map of classified characetristics.

Tasmanian Geoconservation Database (Natural Values Atlas: Geodiversity)

A database of Tasmanian geological, geomorphological (landform), and pedological (soil) sites, features, areas and systems considered to be of significant conservation, scientific or heritage value.  Site values are classified according to formative process into 81 types, which are further subdivided by geological age.  Multiple values may be attributed to a site.  Values are assigned significance on a five level scale ranging from local to global.  Significance is determined by an expert panel, the Tasmanian Geoconservation Database Reference Group, which assesses site nominations on behalf of DPIPWE.  Site entries contain a text description, statement of significance, an indication of susceptibility to potential threats, management notes and references amongst other details.  Spatial data defining site extent is associated and images are progressively being added. The LIST presents a highly abridged version of the full Natural Values Atlas dataset.  The LIST version is updated weekly.

Proclaimed Landslip Areas  (Mineral Resources Tasmania)

Polygons of proclaimed Landslip Areas in Tasmania, with reference to the Statutory Rules (government orders) under which these areas were declared. The Tasmanian Government has declared A Landslip and B Landslip areas (otherwise known as Proclaimed Landslip Areas) in parts of Tasmania under the authority of the Mineral Resources Development Act 1995 (sections 161A- 161D). These proclaimed areas are designed to prohibit or restrict building and other activities in particular areas of unstable land, as specified under the Building Act 2000 (Part 10 Division 1). In essence A Landslip areas are those where no more development is allowed, while B Landslip areas allow development with strict controls designed to protect the stability of both the underlying B Landslip area and adjacent A Landslip areas. Declaration of these areas is not undertaken regularly and only a relatively small number of areas exist, compared to the much greater area of land that can be considered as potentially unstable. Proclaimed Landslip Areas are proscriptive zones and quite different to advisory zones, such as those shown on the susceptibility maps in the Tasmanian Landslide Map Series.
