Appendix 8: Stream habitat scores
Summary of stream habitat and shade scores based on one-off assessments undertaken
in 2008, and substrate index scores based on mean scores from annual assessments
undertaken between 2009 and 2011 (see Appendix 3 for assessment methods). Each site
was allocated a habitat ‘grade’, based on which quartile its total habitat score fell within.
LQ=lower quartile, UQ=upper quartile, Med=median
