- All data was mapped at a scale of 1:1500 derived from orthorectified aerial photographs with a positional accuracy of less than 10 metres.
Report
- Name of measure
- Attribute accuracy
- Measure description
- Vegetation boundaries were identified on orthorectified aerial photographs. Boundary location and species identification were verified in the field. Families or in some case species of vegetation were mapped in the following categories:Posidonia australis Zosteraceae (including Zostera capricorni, Zostera muelleri and Heterozostera tasmanica), Halophila spp. Ruppia megacarpa, mangrove (Avicennia marina, Aegiceras corniculatum, and saltmarsh (all species combined). Area calculations were determined in ArcGIS.

Resource lineage
- Statement
- Data Collection Method: Aerial photography interpretation. Data Set Source: The data has been prepared from Land and Property Information photo runs. Source Material Input Scale: 1:25 000 Additional Processing Steps: The aerial photographs were scanned into TIFF format files and imported into ERDAS IMAGINE as image files for orthorectification. The digital images were orthorectified using a Digital Elevation Model and Digital Topographic Database provided by Land and Property Information. Seagrass, mangrove and saltmarsh boundaries were digitised and edited in ArcGIS. Attributes were field validated.
