Map instructions – depths
Five broad ecological depth based habitats (see below) are recognised in Western Australia. Depth contours are shown on each map to assist in the identification of these habitats:
• Estuarine and Nearshore habitats occur in depths less than 20 m (white)
• Inshore demersal from depths of 20 m to 250 m (light blue)
• Offshore demersal in depths greater than 250 m (dark blue)
• Pelagic habitat is the surface waters across all depths greater than 20 m (light and dark blue).
