Queensland Museum Queensland Museum Zoology Data Search (Queensland Museum 2012) The Queensland Museum catalogues fish and crustacean specimen records obtained throughout Queensland. The latitude and longitude coordinates of the top right and bottom left corners of a bordered area were used to designate anchorage areas to be searched. The area was based on GPS coordinates identified in (table 12). As the search area is considered to be conservative (refer section ) no buffer zone was added. This database catalogues known records of species in a defined area. The age and lack of spatial precision of species records may limit their value for inclusion in current studies in some instances. Ramsar Ramsar List of Wetlands (Ramsar 2012) The Ramsar List of Wetlands identifies wetlands of international importance. A search for wetlands within the vicinity of anchorage areas was conducted. NA - this mapping identifies the location of wetlands that satisfy at least one criterion agreed upon by the Ramsar Convention. DSEWPaC Directory of Important Wetlands (DIWA) (Environment Australia 2001) The DIWA identifies nationally important wetlands. The DSEWPaC PMST (see above) lists nationally important wetlands occurring within or related to prescribed search extents. A search for wetlands within the vicinity of the anchorage areas was conducted. NA - this mapping identifies the location of wetlands that satisfy at least one criterion agreed upon by the Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC) Wetlands Network in 1994.
