Missing Data

Layer is complete for major bird habitats. 

Attribute Quality

Attributes have been verified by MAFRI. 

Positional Accuracy

The horizontal and vertical accuracy of the site locations have not been verified in the field. These polygons represents the primary habitat areas, but bird species may also move into adjacent or surrounding areas depending on daily weather conditions, winds, variations in beach environments etc 

Lineage

Description

Shorebird habitats have either been digitised from maps found in the relevant information sources, interpretation of aerial photography or by utilising the digital 1:25,000 coastline and hydrographic layers as base layers. Attributes for each polygon were developed by the Arthur Rylah Institute (see Arthur Rylah Institute, 1999). 

Statement

Dataset Source: Information was mainly derived from databases maintained by the Arthur Rylah Institute. Other information has been derived from published reports and also personal observations of bird observers, coastal rangers and other relevant coastal management personnel. Sources of data on species and habitats are identified in the BIRD_EXPERTS.DBF. In 2015 some additional locations were added with data from Birdlife Australia Shorebird 2020 Data. Dataset Originality: Primary & Derived
