AquaBAMM

AquaBAMM is a decision support tool that assesses the ecological or conservation values associated with a catchment for planning and decision-making purposes. It is applicable in freshwater riverine, freshwater non-riverine and estuarine wetlands.

Decision Support System

The Decision Support System (DSS) uses biophysical, socio-economic, community capacity and threat data and expert consultation to identify higher priority wetlands for strategic investment.
