Victorian Biodiversity Atlas fauna - 5 minute grid summary

dataset: VBA_FAUNA_GRID_5M
This layer summarises VBA fauna records against a standard grid of 5 degrees longitude/latitude (GDA94). Any VBA taxa record with its centre in a cell is counted as a record for that cell. The number of times a taxon has been recorded in a cell is collated in the RECORDS column. The first date and last date that a taxon has been recorded in a cell are also summarised. VBA data summarised against 10 and 1 minute grids are also available in related datasets. VBA records with a spatial accuracy worse than +/- 4.5 km are excluded from this layer.

Comments
Records are available from throughout Victoria, although some area have extremely good coverage, e.g. Central Highlands, East Gippsland. The layer covers an area of south-east Australia extending from 139 degrees to 151.5 degrees EAST and 33 degrees to 42 degrees SOUTH. It thus incorporates substantial areas of South Australia and New South Wales plus all of Bass Strait and the north coast of Tasmania.
