Description

Abstract:

This polygon spatial dataset describes the mangrove communities for Bynoe Harbour and its environs. The original field survey was undertaken in 1998 at a mapping scale of 1:25,000.
The associated report notes an area of approximately 24,000 hectares of mangroves in Bynoe Harbour and describes ten main mangrove associations or communities.
The data provides a basis for identifying the extent and distribution of mangrove communities for Bynoe Harbour and its environs.

Mangrove mapping was updated over this area in a 2016 survey. See metadata record for Mangrove Community Mapping - Charles Point to Gunn Point.

Data Quality

Lineage:Original linework derived visually and captured direct into GIS system from scaned aerial photography as vector information, resultant compilation then built as polygon coverage using ArcInfo giving preliminary map used to delinate community boundaries and site selection. Resultant linework extensively ground truthed with topographic basemap/GPS coordinated field survey/site data collection. Recompiled and updated to GDA94 as part of ongoing GIS Progarm 2004.
Source data
Aerial photography - 1:18,000 Col 1995/97 - Bynoe Harbour
Base map - Australian Topographic Survey Series 1:50,000 AGD66, Northern Territory Cadastre AGD66
GIS - ArcInfo vector as AGD66/GDA94

Positional Accuracy:Derived from topographic basemap, NT cadastre and GPS. The summation of errors from all sources results in data with a standard deviation defined by scale used as +/-50m for well-defined points.

Attribute Accuracy:The accuracy of the attribute information is considered high and conforms to the 'Australian Soil and Land Survey Field Handbook' at time of capture.

Logical Consistency:Dataset topological consistency has been system checked and all classified polygons are closed, nodes are formed at the intersection of lines and there is only one label within each polygon. Polygons have been classified for community ID in the lookup table.

Completeness:Complete
