The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) coordinates mapping of wetlands in Western Australia. Mapping the extent of wetlands and their values assists decision makers and land managers to make informed decisions about the management, protection, and conservation of wetlands. As a minimum, mapping identifies the presence of wetlands, but can also identify the wetland’s boundary, classification, and assigned wetland management category.
Datasets managed by DBCA are described on the DBCA website's wetland mapping page. For more information about wetlands and wetland mapping visit DBCA's wetlands page or email wetlands@dbca.wa.gov.au.
