Great Barrier Reef catchments (riverine)

Aquatic Conservation Assessment (ACA) using AquaBAMM for riverine wetlands of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) catchments

ACAs are available for the riverine freshwater wetlands in each of 35 GBR catchments¹. An ACA for the freshwater riverine wetlands of the Baffle Creek catchment are part of this assessment and supersede the previous Baffle Creek assessment.

ACAs for the non-riverine freshwater wetlands (i.e. palustrine and lacustrine) of the GBR catchments are also available.

The ACA consists of 10 reports—one summary report and nine expert panel reports.

Download this ACA as a single volume or as separate reports (see below).
