Our steering committee keeps Seamap pointing to the future.

The Seamap Australia Steering Committee is tasked with providing oversight for changes to the requirements for inclusion of data in new versions of the Seamap Australia National Benthic Habitat Layer (NBHL); updates to the Seamap Australia National Benthic Habitat Classification Scheme and major development projects for the Seamap Australia web portal. In doing so, the Committee will ensure:

the data portal remains relevant to its end users and its broader role with the Australian marine data landscape.

the Seamap Australia NBHL and Classification Schema retains its scope and relevance as a nationally consistent benthic habitat classification

data supported by the Seamap Australia data portal meets FAIR data standards.
