Collated data inventory for Southern Right Whale in relation to the Gippsland Offshore Renewable Energy declaration area (NESP MaC 3.21)
This project undertook a rapid exploration of information on a priority subset of species identified by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) and the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environment Authority (NOPSEMA) that are listed as critically endangered or endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It specifically focused on these species in relation to the Gippsland declaration area, and the adjacent areas to the declaration area in Bass Strait.
This rapid exploration of information was conducted as follows:
1) identify datasets and information sources relevant to priority species identified by DCCEEW and NOPSEMA for the Gippsland declaration area;
2) identify the source of these datasets and information and their level of accessibility;
3) evaluate the utility of datasets and information identified in 2) for assessments/regulatory processes required to be undertaken by DCCEEW and NOPSEMA; and
4) identify what activities would need to be undertaken to improve the accessibility and utility of datasets and information sources identified in 3) that are not currently accessible in useable formats.
Fifteen priorities species (12 birds, 3 cetaceans) were identified for which publicly-available occurrence data could be located. This record and the attached download describes the data inventory for Southern Right Whales (Eubalaena australis).

DATA ACCESS - Southern Right Whale data inventory for Gippsland ORE area
Data supplied as CSV via OGC WFS filtered by species.
Resource lineage
- Statement
- A collation of existing observation data of the identified priority species was undertaken through three primary activities: 1) a multi-stakeholder workshop; 2) a data-holder and user survey; and 3) a literature and repository search to build a resource focused on occurrence data and information relevant to the priority species and Gippsland declaration area. The collated data inventory includes the following attributes: • Species/taxonomic information [species_group], [common_name], [scientific_name] • Data discovery repository [source_data_repo] - note this is the repository search and is not necessarily the dataset point-of-truth • Data subset [data_subset] - a subset/filter applied to the larger dataset, where relevant • Data type (methodology of species observations) [data_type] • Count of species observations [observation_count] • General location of data [location] • Year (range) of observations [years] • Data owner [data_owner] - the owner of the original data, where data has been aggregated into a larger collection • Affiliation of data owner [data_owner_affiliation] • Data access URL [access_url] • Associated publications [publications] • Dataset-level notes [notes]
