Geomorphology map of the Tasman Fracture Australian Marine Park
The Tasman Fracture Commonwealth Reserve complements the Port Davey Marine Reserve (encompassing Port Davey, Bathurst Channel and Bathurst Harbour), which was proclaimed by the Tasmanian Government in 2005. It spans the continental shelf, continental slope and deeper water ecosystems south of Tasmania, and is scored by steep canyons. It also encloses other geological features, including steep escarpments and troughs, saddles, basins, and part of a plateau that is over 400 km long and rises up to 3 km above the sea floor.
The reserve includes a number of undersea peaks rising to less than 1500 m below the sea surface that provide habitat to deepwater hard corals. These corals provide a structure and habitat for a rich diversity of marine invertebrate animals that live attached corals.
This record describes a geomorphology map for the Tasman Fracture CMR that was prepared using bathymetry and backscatter data sourced from CSIRO and Geoscience Australia.

- Statement
- The Tasman Fracture bathymetric data sets have been sourced from CSIRO and Geoscience Australia. The data has been gridded to 50 m resolution. The geomorphology layer is mapped to the Geoscience Australia Marine Geomorphology Classification Version 1: Plain, Depression, Ridge, Seamount The habitat layer is mapped as per the Seamap Australia benthic habitat classification table - Level 1: Hard; Mixed or Soft Substrata
