Pelagic maps - National Marine Bioregionalisation of Australia

About the maps

Pelagic maps show pelagic regions at three spatial scales (Ocean Zones, Water Masses, Seas and Circulation Regimes). Water masses are three-dimensional in nature. We provide two-dimensional maps of slices through Australia’s oceans at different depths. Maps of water masses are available at depths of x,y,z. The maps are available in PDF format (about 100KB each).
