Description: Datasets and model outputs to support two modelling approaches to predict how best to manage ocean spaces in Aotearoa New Zealand, within the Sustainable Seas Phase 1 case study area, Tasman and Golden Bays. The first model used Zonation software to develop optimal spatial planning to incorporate conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services with resource use and historical impacts to the marine ecosystem from both seafloor disturbances from trawling and dredging, and from land-based sediment inputs. Maps include modelled layers of demersal fish biodiversity distributions created using species distribution modelling techniques, and additional gradient forest models of beta diversity of demersal fish. The second model uses a MATLAB programme (lead developer C. Lundquist, NIWA) that has been further adapted to the case study area, including variation in both sediment disturbance and fishing effort to the seafloor. (Sustainable Seas project number 5.1.2)
