The  Location of select environmental restoration projects in Tasmania dataset was created for the Tasmania's Marine Atlas from published sources in 2024. The dataset shows the general location of the restoration projects, but not the actual restoration sites.

Two shapefiles were created to download:
-Angasi_Seagrass_Kelp (points)
-Saltmarsh_Wetland (polygons)

The authors do not warrant that the information in this dataset is free from errors or omissions. The authors do not accept any form of liability, be it contractual, tortious, or otherwise, for the contents of this dataset or for any consequences arising from its use or any reliance placed upon it.
