Australian Maritime Boundaries: Geoscience Australia

Australia's Maritime Boundaries (AMB) is now on-line via AMSIS.

As an island continent, Australia has sovereign rights over a vast area of ocean, along with the fishery, mineral, and petroleum resources found in that area - resources worth billions of dollars each year.

The management and protection of the waters that yield these resources is, however, a complex task. Geoscience Australia has a major role in the delineation of Australia's maritime boundaries. The delineation of these boundaries has strategic, economic and environmental implications.
