Baffle Creek catchment

Aquatic Conservation Assessment (ACA) using AquaBAMM for riverine and non riverine wetlands of the Baffle Creek catchment

The results of conducting ACAs (using AquaBAMM) for freshwater wetlands of the Baffle Creek catchment are reported. Two assessments have been completed within this study area and are presented here; the first for riverine wetlands and the second for non-riverine wetlands (i.e. palustrine and lacustrine wetlands). Estuarine wetlands are excluded from these assessments but may be the subject of a separate ACA in the future.
