Notes This is a polygon coverage representing the wetlands cited in the "A Directory of Important Wetlands in Australia" Third Edition (EA, 2001), plus various additions for wetlands listed after 2001. This dataset includes attribute information showing the wetlands type and criteria for listing for each wetland. This coverage is a compilation of various data sources and has been collected using a variety of methods. This dataset should therefore be used as an indicative guide only to wetland boundaries and locations. The data has been collated by the Australian Government Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities from various datasets including those supplied by the relevant State agencies.
