 "snippet": "This data product identifies relative conservation values for the riverine and non-riverine wetlands within a specified study area (usually a drainage catchment). This product was developed using the Aquatic Biodiversity Assessment and Mapping Method (AquaBAMM) which is a comprehensive methodology developed by the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation for assessing the conservation values of wetlands in Queensland (Clayton et al 2006). The method uses available data including data resulting from expert opinion to produce an Aquatic Conservation Assessment (ACA) within a study area. \n\nThis data product contains comprehensive information on the:\n  \u2022 Aquatic naturalness of the wetlands\n  \u2022 Catchment naturalness surrounding the wetlands\n  \u2022 Diversity and species richness \n  \u2022 Presence of threatened species and ecosystems\n  \u2022 Presence of priority species and ecosystems\n  \u2022 Special features of the wetlands as identified by expert opinion\n  \u2022 Physical and ecological connectivity between wetlands\n  \u2022 Significance and uniqueness of the wetlands\n\nACAs involve a non-social, non-economic and tenure-blind assessment of aquatic conservation values. The assessment methodology (AquaBAMM) uses Criteria, Indicators and Measures to assess relative wetland conservation values at the individual wetland or subsection scale. ACA results include a comprehensive set of baseline ecological information, and an overall assessment of aquatic conservation values (AquaScore). The results provide a decision support tool that is easily updated and able to be comprehensively interrogated.",
