ACTGOV Wetlands and Bogs ANAE


  

    

      

        Wetlands are important for many plants and wildlife in the ACT
        , as well as water quality for Canberra's drinking water catchment. This d
        ataset maps location of wetlands
         in the ACT including
         
        our 
        Ramsar wetland
         (Ginini and Cheyenne Wetland Complex)
        , 
        Directory of Important Wetlands Australia (DIWA), 
        and 
        ACT 
        High Country B
        ogs and 
        F
        ens 
        (Nature Conservation Act 2014). The wetlands are classified using the ANAE Australian National Aquatic Ecosystem Framework
         
        by Cowood et al (2017). See 
        Brooks (20
        21
        )
         for the latest ANAE classification framework and method.

        Fit for purpose: This dataset was captured at 1:
        5
        ,000 scale. This dataset is fit for use as a tool for showing presence of wetlands in the ACT. Exact boundaries are likely to expand and contract over time so accuracy should be checked against project requirements.
