Australian Wetland Inventory

The Australian Wetland Inventory is a comprehensive database that maps and describes wetlands across Australia. It aims to document the diversity, distribution, and ecological significance of these vital ecosystems. Wetlands, which include swamps, marshes, and floodplains, provide essential habitats for wildlife, support water quality, and help manage floods. This inventory assists researchers, policymakers, and conservationists in understanding and protecting wetlands, enhancing biodiversity, and ensuring sustainable use of water resources. By preserving these areas, Australia can maintain its natural heritage and support environmental health.
