DATA SET IDENTIFICATION DATA SET Name: Occurrence of freshwater macrophytes in the catchments of the Parramatta River, Lane Cove River and Middle Harbour Creek 2007-2008 Author(s): R.J. Williams and I. Thiebaud Custodian: Metropolitan Catchment Management Authority Jurisdiction: Sydney, NSW Keywords: freshwater plants, aquatic vegetation, native species, alien/exotic species DESCRIPTION Abstract: Mapping was undertaken of habitat characteristics and of the distribution of native and exotic macrophytes, including emergent, floating and submerged species in the catchment of the Parramatta River Purpose: To establish a baseline description of the distribution of freshwater vegetation. It will be used to prioritise rehabilitation in relation to removal of exotic species and/or general enhancement of habitat. Geographic Extent: The freshwater portion of the catchment of the Parramatta River Projected Coordinate System: Datum: GDA94 Projection: MGA56 North bounding latitude -33.640888 South bounding latitude -33.966247 East bounding longitude 151.299764 West bounding longitude 150.966247 DATA CURRENCY Beginning Date: Ending Date: DATASET STATUS Progress: Complete Maintenance and update frequency: Not planned by DPI and contingent on SMCMA Catchment Action Plan ACCESS Stored Data Format: Digital Arcview shapefile Available format types: Digital Arcview shapefile and non digital maps and tables Access constraints DATA QUALITY Lineage: Positional Accuracy: All data were acquired in the field and mapped using a GPS with a positional accuracy of less than 10 metres Attribute Accuracy: Site visits and visual observation; taxonomic texts Logical Consistency: Completeness: Completed in June 2009
