Northern Shelf Province
The Northern Shelf Province, also known as Arnhem Coast to Gulf of Carpentaria, is a biogeographic region of Australia's continental shelf. It includes the coastal waters of Arnhem Land and the Gulf of Carpentaria in Northern Australia. Geography
The Northwest Shelf Transition includes the coastal waters and continental shelf of Northern Australia, extending from the Northern Territory's Tiwi Islands eastwards along the coast of Arnhem Land and the Gulf of Carpentaria to Cape York. The Northwest Shelf Transition lies to the west, and the Northeast Shelf Transition to the northeast. To the north the shallow continental shelf extends outside Australian waters to New Guinea.
