[SUPERSEDED] Victorian Benthic Habitats - Gippsland Lakes (CBICS)
This dataset has been superseded by https://metadata.imas.utas.edu.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/0145df96-3847-474b-8b63-a66f0e03ff54 (Victorian Statewide Marine Habitat Map 2023).
The Victorian Benthic Habitats - Gippsland Lakes (CBICS) is a synthesis of all existing benthic habitat characterisations of the Gippsland Lakes Region which have been reclassified to conform to the Combined Biotope Classification Scheme (CBiCS).
The study area for this layer is defined as Jack Smith Lake in the west to Mallacoota in the east.

- Statement
- The study area for this layer is defined as Jack Smith Lake in the west to Mallacoota in the east. Polygon coverage was available for geomorphic forms of estuaries in the GeoHab 2010 “Victoria Estuaries” spatial data set. Lake Bunga was not mapped in this data set and spatial depiction of this estuary was added from the “Wetlands 1994” mapping product contained within the OSRA 2015 spatial database. The following polygons were directly re-attributed from their native mapping classes to the Combined Biotope Classification Scheme (CBiCS) class within the CBiCS hierarchy: • Boon et al. (2011) saltmarsh and mangrove classes; • Roob and Ball (1997) seagrass classes; • Wetlands 1994 classes; • GeoHab (2010) classes; Existing biotic imagery and information were available in the form of ARI/Monash University’s 2015-2016 ground truthing drop video/still imagery in the Lakes Entrance region. To our knowledge this represents the broadest and most recent coverage of the Lakes Entrance region. The intertidal zone of Gippsland Lakes is a vast area with RAMSAR significance. At the time of production, no formal delineation and mapping of the intertidal zone was available.
