Modifications

The marine park zones (Queensland) layer used by WetlandSummary is based on the source layers below, with the following modifications:

  • Name has the pattern "zone_type (marinepark)", where marinepark is modified to remove the words "Marine Park"
  • marinepark is the value of the marinepark field if available in the source layer, otherwise it is determined based on the source layer
  • Excluded features where marinepark="void"
  • Consolidated source fields zone and zone_type into a single zone_type field
  • Populated the marinepark field with the name of the marine park where that was missing from the source layer
  • Transformed coordinate system of 15.shp from GDA2020 to GDA94
  • Excluded a total of 1,128 features by filtering
  • Combined features and attributes from 3 source layers
  • Dissolved 1,535 source features into 16 marine park zones (Queensland)
  • Removed sliver holes <= 100.0 m² resulting from imprecise boundaries between dissolved areas
  • Excluded source field management because it has too many different values in its dissolved source features (text length 256 > 254)
  • Excluded source field zone_id because it has too many different values in its dissolved source features (text length 2784 > 254)
  • Excluded source field location because it has too many different values in its dissolved source features (text length 2051 > 254)
  • Excluded source field area_sq_km because it is a non-string attribute that had different values in its dissolved source features
  • Excluded source field zone_name because it has too many different values in its dissolved source features (text length 636 > 254)
  • Excluded source field st_area_sh because it is a non-string attribute that had different values in its dissolved source features
  • Excluded source field st_perimet because it is a non-string attribute that had different values in its dissolved source features
  • Excluded source field zone_area_ because it is a non-string attribute that had different values in its dissolved source features
