Estuary-drained portions of Victorian coastal catchments

dataset: EST_CATCH
Areas of catchments that drain directly to Victorian estuaries - i.e. not via major freshwater tributaries. The layer was derived by Deakin University as part of the project: "Linking catchments to the sea: Understanding how human activities impact on Victorian estuaries" funded by the National Heritage Trust and the Department of Sustainability and Environment.

Description

Title
Estuary-drained portions of Victorian coastal catchments 
Alternate title
EST_CATCH 
Purpose
Areas of catchments that drain to directly to Victorian estuaries (rather than via main tributaries), excluding the Gippsland Lakes basin. It complements the Fluv_catchments layer that comprises areas of catchments draining to estuaries via fresh water tributaries. The ESTUARIES layer is an updated version of one that included estuaries and their upstream limits for catchment delineation. In this layer, attributes relating to population, outcropping geology, land use, geomorphology and rainfall are associated with each catchment polygon. In order to assess the relationships between catchment-based activities and estuary condition attributes from this layer were analysed as part of the Deakin University project "Linking catchments to the sea: Understanding how human activities impact on Victorian estuaries". Methods and results from this project are reported in Barton, J.L., Pope, A.J., Quinn, G.P. and Sherwood, J.E. (2008) Identifying threats to the ecological condition of Victorian estuaries (Department of Sustainability and Environment Technical Report, ISBN 978-1-74208-745-0 (online)).
