Load Layer: Australian Marine Parks

[m-hope]

Parks Australia are currently developing a Marine Park Database web application and would like to access ALA APIs to get a list of species found in each marine park. In order to do this, PA have requested that we upload the latest Marine Park spatial layer (this hasn't been released yet - due for release by ERIN in July).

In addition, as the layer will be publicly visible without context, they have asked that we modify the polygon labels within the layer as follows:

"The ResName attribute is the one you’ll want to use for labels however it lacks the phrase “Marine Park” on the end of each. So for example Cod Grounds should read Cod Grounds Marine Park. Can you add that? And just to confuse things, that applies to all except Heard Island and McDonald Islands which should end with “Marine Reserve” instead of “Marine Park”. Let me know if that’s not clear or you have any issues with the shapefile."

I'll upload the shape files to nectar-spatial-staging.ala.org.au, when I get access.

Have uploaded the AMP_Outer_ALA.zip file to /data/spatial-data/uploads/australian_marine_parks on the staging server.

An example of the metadata that will be attached to the layer is available at:

https://nectar-spatial-staging.ala.org.au/ws/layers/view/more/capad_2014_marine

The most important elements are a short name such as "CAPAD 2014 Marine" that will be shown in the ALA interfaces, a description, the license, a source URL if possible, and a URL for more information from the organisation who published the layer.

Thanks, I’ll chase it down.

Hi @ansell ,

Metadata as follows:

Description: Consistent with the Australian Government's commitment to develop a National Representative System of Marine Protected Areas, networks of Marine Parks have been proclaimed for Commonwealth waters across the North, North-west, South-west, Temperate East and Coral Sea Marine Regions. These networks build on previous Marine Protected Area proclamations, including the South-east Network declared in 2007. This data includes all marine parks managed by DOEE with the addition of the Heard Island and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve, which is managed by the Australian Antarctic Division http://www.heardisland.aq/protection-and-management/marine-reserve This dataset is released under Creative Commons by Attribution 3.0 Australia (CC BY 3.0). IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MARINE USERS Transitional arrangements apply to the North, North-west, South-west and Temperate East Marine Parks Networks and the Coral Sea Marine Park, until management plans come into effecton the 1st July 2018. These arrangements involve NO CHANGES ON THE WATER for marine users. Note, there are no changes to management arrangements in the marine parks that existed prior to the establishment of the new marine parks, that is, the same restrictions on activities will continue to apply even where those reserves have been incorporated into new marine parks. More information is available at www.environment.gov.au/marinereserves. This data contains spatial and contextual information about Australian Marine Parks under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth governments Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, which are managed by the Australian Government Department of the Environment and Energy. It does not include data on MPA's in other Australian jurisdictions (e.g. the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, State/Territory parks), or Terrestrial Protected Areas with marine components (eg Pulu Keeling National Park).

I've taken most of this from the XML metadata file in the layer.ZIP, and chased down a few other things. As this layer has not officially been published yet there isn't a direct link to the source, but we should have this in July when it is released (I assume we can update this info then?)

[m-hope]

Note: once this new Marine Parks layer is loaded... previous layers referring to Marine Parks (eg: https://regions.ala.org.au/Other%20regions/Areas%20for%20Further%20Assessment%20within%20the%20East%20Marine%20Region) should be removed/depreciated.

[Tasilee]

Precious layers shouldn't be deprecated in this case @m-hope. Reason: It is good to have a documented history of reserve changes. We need to make sure that the layers are dated as like CAPAD 2014 etc.

[m-hope]

No problem @Tasilee , just passing on a request from the owners of the layers... So long as it is clear which is the newer and older layers, I don't think there'll be a problem.

This has been loaded onto nectar-spatial-staging, but there is a delay with the cross tabulation tasks that is preventing it being completely pushed through.

The layer is currently at:

https://nectar-spatial-staging.ala.org.au/ws/manageLayers/field/cl10912

[ansell]

The cross-tabulation tasks were abandoned until they are fixed. The field was copied to aws-spatial-prod and a resample was performed. This resulted in the field being available in cassandra, but not yet in solr. Working through the issues with getting new fields in solr.

[ansell]

The field, cl10912 is now available in biocache, with 400,544 records inside of the marine boundaries:

[Tasilee]

This is a similar issue to IPAs in that CAPAD 2018 (and previous) also include all the marine parks. So this issue isn't an issue. We do however need to keep the CAPAD layers (terrestrial and marine) up to date - #114
