In July 2002, Geoscience Australia and the National Oceans Office agreed to carry out a jointly-funded project to produce a consistent, high-quality bathymetric data grid from the coastline of Australia out to the 200 nautical mile limit (i.e., covering the coastal waters, the territorial sea, and the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) - by far the largest of the jurisdictions), and to use the grid to identify and map geomorphic features of the seabed. The area selected to be mapped covered the contiguous portion of continental Australia's 200 nautical mile zone, as well as the same zone around Macquarie Island (part of Tasmania), and the Australian Territories of Norfolk Island, Christmas Island, and Cocos-Keeling Islands. Australia's marine jurisdiction off Heard and McDonald Islands and the Australian Antarctic Territory was not included in the present project.
