Resource lineage

Statement
Data was obtained for reefs within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park from The Great Barrier Reef Base Map. For reefs outside of the marine park, data was obtained from Geoscience Australia's 250000 Attributes: FEATURE - Unique feature type that identifies the topographic feature e.g. Reef TYPE - For use in ESRI Geodatabase only (display purposes) NAME - The name of the feature (if available) INDIGENOUSNAME - An indigenous name of the feature (if available) ALTERNATENAME - An alternate name of the feature (if available) FEATURERELIABILITY - Reliability date of the source information FEATURESOURCE - The imagery, map or data that the spatial location of the feature was obtained from. ATTRIBUTERELIABILTY - Reliability date of the document or authority that the name of the feature was acquired from. ATTRIBUTESOURCE - The source (imagery, map or data) used for attributing (naming) of the feature. If no name is present then the attribute source will be the imagery, map or data used to define the feature type PLANIMETRICACCURACY - The standard deviation of the horizontal positional accuracy TEXTNOTE - A comment field GBRMPA_REEF_ID - Unique ID allocated by the marine park authority
