DATA SET IDENTIFICATION<br />
DATA SET<br />
Name: Occurrence <strong>of</strong> <strong>freshwater</strong> <strong>macrophytes</strong> in the catchments <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Parramatta River, Lane Cove River and Middle Harbour Creek<br />
2007-2008<br />
Author(s): R.J. Williams and I. Thiebaud<br />
Custodian: Sydney Metropolitan Catchment Management Authority<br />
Jurisdiction: Sydney, NSW<br />
Keywords: <strong>freshwater</strong> plants, aquatic vegetation, native species, alien/exotic<br />
species<br />
DESCRIPTION<br />
Abstract: Mapping was undertaken <strong>of</strong> habitat characteristics and <strong>of</strong> the<br />
distribution <strong>of</strong> native and exotic <strong>macrophytes</strong>, including emergent,<br />
floating and submerged species in the catchment <strong>of</strong> the Parramatta<br />
River<br />
Purpose: To establish a baseline description <strong>of</strong> the distribution <strong>of</strong> <strong>freshwater</strong><br />
vegetation. It will be used to prioritise rehabilitation in relation to<br />
removal <strong>of</strong> exotic species and/or general enhancement <strong>of</strong> habitat.<br />
Geographic Extent: <strong>The</strong> <strong>freshwater</strong> portion <strong>of</strong> the catchment <strong>of</strong> the Parramatta River<br />
