Draft vegetation-type boundaries, interpreted from recent aerial photos, were drawn on these base maps using a Bausch and Lomb Zoom Transfer Scope.

Vegetation-types identified on these maps were saltmarshes (all species combined), mangroves (all species combined), and seagrasses. In the case of seagrasses, the following species or families were mapped: Zosteraceae (including Zostera capricorni, Zostera muelleri, and Heterozostera tasmanica), Posidonia australis, Halophila spp. (Halophila ova/is and Halophila decipiens) and Ruppia spp. (Ruppia megacarpa, Ruppia polycarpa and Ruppia maritima).&rft.creator=Division of Fisheries &rft.date=1984&rft.coverage=westlimit=149.84944; southlimit=-37.470791; eastlimit=153.58234; northlimit=-28.16853; projection=GDA94 / Geoscience Australia Lambert (EPSG:3112)&rft.coverage=westlimit=149.84944; southlimit=-37.470791; eastlimit=153.58234; northlimit=-28.16853; projection=GDA94 / Geoscience Australia Lambert (EPSG:3112)&rft_rights= http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/&rft_rights=http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-sa/4.0/88x31.png&rft_rights=WWW:LINK-1.0-http--related&rft_rights=License Graphic&rft_rights=Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License&rft_rights=http://creativecommons.org/international/&rft_rights=WWW:LINK-1.0-http--related&rft_rights=WWW:LINK-1.0-http--related&rft_rights=License Text&rft_rights=Cite data as: State Government of NSW and Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (2010).
