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. This data product contains comprehensive information on the: • Aquatic naturalness of the wetlands • Catchment naturalness surrounding the wetlands • Diversity and species richness • Presence of threatened species and ecosystems • Presence of priority species and ecosystems • Special features of the wetlands as identified by expert opinion • Physical and ecological connectivity between wetlands • Significance and uniqueness of the wetlands ACAs 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. <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV>This data is a compilation of ACA bounding areas from all published Aquatic Conservation Assessments (ACA) within Queensland that utilize the Aquatic Biodiversity Assessment and Mapping Methodology (AquaBAMM). Each bounding area defines a collection of study areas that are assessed for an Aquatic Conservation Assessment. All ACA results are relative within a given study area and not between study areas.Studies compiled include:Inglis, S.N. and Howell, S. (2009).
