The line forming the boundary between the land and sea, defined by mean high water. Data Dictionary for coastline: http://apps.linz.govt.nz/topo-data-dictionary/index.aspx?page=class-coastline This layer is a component of the Topo50 map series. The Topo50 map series provides topographic mapping for the New Zealand mainland, Chatham and New Zealand's offshore islands, at 1:50,000 scale.

Bathymetry vector contour dataset. Compilation of data digitised from published coastal charts, digital soundings archive, navy collector sheets and digital multibeam data. Contour interval 50m in depths greater than 200m and 10m in depths less than 200m (where available). In areas without high resolution data the regional bathymetry data was used to fill gaps.Most detailed digital vector contour bathymetry for NZ. Compilation of the coastal bathymetry (high resolution) padded with lower resolution regional data.Projection: Mercator 41 / EPSG:3994

New Zealand’s four million km2 marine environment is diverse, with a range of coastal habitats and offshore seabed environments. There are also many marine species unique to New Zealand. Marine protected areas conserve or manage some of these unique habitats and species, while a range of other tools also provide marine protection. We report on the area covered by these tools as an indirect measure to understand the state of the marine environment. Seamount (underwater mountain area) closures are one of the marine protection tools used. They are designated areas in the exclusive economic zone, which extends to the 200 nautical mile limit. Seamount closures protect underwater mountain areas through the prohibition of all trawling activity. There are some areas where seamount closures overlap with benthic protection areas. In these cases the seamount closure restrictions apply.Sourced from MfE from a collection of layers for the "Our Marine Environment 2016" report (see https://data.mfe.govt.nz/layers/tag/our-marine-environment-2016/).
