New dataset – DBCA Aquatic Projects

These projects were carried out by the DBCA’s Biodiversity and Conservation Science division and contain aquatic invertebrate, waterbird and diatom data from surveys carried out between 1980s and 2014. These datasets were previously available in NatureMap and are now being added into Dandjoo where they meet the minimum standards.

This dataset has been structured as Systematic Survey Data (SSD). We encourage users to first familiarise themselves to the Dandjoo SSD structure and functionality by referring to our Systematic Survey Data blog post

DBCA Waterbirds, Invertebrates and Diatoms Surveys are categorised into three taxonomic groups (where available):

  • Waterbirds
  • Invertebrates
  • Diatoms

and follows the naming convention ‘Project name + taxonomic group’ (refer to the example below):

The PDF Species List report, based on user feedback, shows species by Conservation status and Kingdom from user-defined searches, with definitions included. Each species entry lists Class, Family, names, Establishment status, and Conservation code.
