Wetlands are important for many plants and wildlife in the ACT, as well as water quality for Canberra's drinking water catchment. This dataset 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 Bogs and Fens (Nature Conservation Act 2014). The wetlands are classified using the ANAE Australian National Aquatic Ecosystem Framework by Cowood et al (2017). See Brooks (2021) for the latest ANAE classification framework and method.To view the directory of important wetlands visit: https://www.environment.gov.au/water/wetlands/australian-wetlands-database/directory-important-wetlandsMore information on wetland conservation can be found at:https://www.environment.act.gov.au/nature-conservation/conservation-and-ecological-communities/aquatic-species-and-riparian-zone-conservation-strategyFit 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.References:Cowood A., Nicholson A., Wooldridge A., Muller R. and Moore L. 2017.
