Wide Bay-Burnett

Aquatic Conservation Assessment using AquaBAMM for riverine and non-riverine wetlands of the Wide Bay-Burnett catchment

The Wide Bay-Burnett Aquatic Conservation Assessment (ACA) is made up of six individual catchments - the Burnett, Mary, Kolan, Burrum, Cooloola Coast and Fraser Island catchments. The AquaBAMM methodology has been applied separately to the non-riverine (i.e. palustrine and lacustrine) and riverine wetlands within each of the six catchments. In effect, there are 12 ACAs for the riverine and non-riverine wetlands in the study area.

The original AquaBAMM methodology developed for the Burnett River catchment riverine ACA is available. Updates to the methodology as applied in the Wide Bay-Burnett ACA are detailed in the ACA report.

The ACA results in GIS format as well the methodology and expert panel reports are available on CD and will soon be available through Queensland Government Information Service (QGIS).
