Location of major boat ramps ( ) and some other launching locations (●) are shown on each map. Fishing locations for the survey of recreational fishing can be identified using place names, GPS coordinates or the 10 x 10 nautical mile blocks identified in this guide. For example 32° 06’ S latitude and 115° 04’ E longitude is situated within the block number 320 150

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).
