Aquatic Conservation Assessment (ACA) using AquaBAMM for riverine wetlands of the Burnett River catchment
The AquaBAMM report, containing full results for an ACA of riverine wetlands in the Burnett River catchment, is available by individual report section below. A complete PDF version of the report “Aquatic biodiversity assessment and mapping method AquaBAMM: a conservation values assessment tool for wetlands with trial application in the Burnett catchment” (1599 KB PDF) can be downloaded here (excluding appendices).
The ACA results in GIS format as well the methodology and expert panel reports are available on CD. To order a copy of the CD please see here.
