The main driver behind the Queensland and Australian governments' work on wetlands is to support projects and programs that will result in long-term benefits to the biodiversity,

management and sustainable use, and conservation of Queensland wetlands.

 

The Queensland Wetlands Programme is funded through two sub programmes and involves cash and in-kind government support. The two Programmes are the Queensland Natural

Heritage Trust Wetlands Programme (NHT Wetland Programme) and the Great Barrier Reef Programme. It commenced in 2003, and is being implemented over 5 years. A number of

projects are being funded under the NHT Queensland Wetlands Programme including: Wetland Mapping and Classification; Wetland Inventory Database (Wetlandlnfo Queensland);

Wetland Management Profiles; Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Strategy; and Information Review and Gap Analysis.

 

This poster will broadly focus on the Wetlands Mapping and Classification and Wetlandinfo Queensland projects.
