...James Robey; Shelley Burgin; Dennis Hitchen; Geoffrey Ross Introduced species have made a major contribution to the degradation of aquatic wetlands throughout the world and particularly in Australia. One species, Red-Eared Slider Trachemys scripta elegans , classified among the world's top 100 most...

... appeared to occur as a result of wetland degradation, with some declines exacerbated by the 1980 s drought (Ashworth 1998). Declines in the abundance and distribution of L. raniformis in South Australia, Victoria and inland areas of NSW have not been formerly documented through dedicated surveys...

... of New South Wales. Under defined circumstances biodiversity impacts due to urban development may be offset elsewhere, often in rural areas, where equivalent biodiversity values are identified. This legislation was modelled on the United States of America (US) wetland mitigation banking approach. I...

... communities are typically dominated by salt tolerant plants that are intermittently inundated by spring tides and provide important habitats for plant and animal species (Keith 2004, Laegdsgaard 2006). The pressures of urban development and spread of mangroves has reduced and degraded the cover of saltmarsh...

... by the Portland Aluminium Smelter in southwestern Victoria, but the reasons for its disappearance from the area are unclear. Approximately 50 wetlands remain in the buffer zone of the smelter and we investigated the suitability of 20 of these wetlands for the reintroduction of the species. We measured a set...

... wetlands have vanished and many of the remaining ones are threatened or degraded (Sainty and Associates 1996). Very few catchments in NSW are completely free of some form of hydrological manipulation (DWR 1990), and the wetlands of the Clarence River floodplain are particularly affected, with 92% degraded...

Hensen s (2010) review of NPSS found that of the 91 swamps surveyed, ~24% of swamps had no visible impacts (i.e. good condition score). The remaining ~76% of the swamps exhibited varying degrees of degradation with 23% showing minor...
