Each location of a freshwater-dependent species was assigned to the underlying River Catchment Unit and River Environment Classification (REC) Hydro Unit. The REC hydro unit (watershed) were used as the basis for aggregated mapping as they offered fine-scale detail throughout the region.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>We noted these data presented a gap in frogs records, as it was not one of the targeted taxonomic groups in the 23 data sources. Hence only two observations out of 28,830 were recorded from the above sources. Therefore, other credible sources were sought to fill that gap.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;">The Rare species at risk - REC watersheds </SPAN><SPAN>dataset represents areas of threatened and rare flora and fauna species habitats by REC watershed and indicates that either Threatened, Other conservation species or both are present within the watershed.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>The </SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;">Rare species at risk </SPAN><SPAN>dataset represents these areas as the waterbodies themselves selected from riverlines, river polygons, lakes and wetlands from the Topo 50 river and lakes datasets and from BOPRC's wetland extents, showing habitat of threatened and rare freshwater dependent flora and fauna (excluding fish).</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>For more information on this processes see: </SPAN><A href="https://atlas.boprc.govt.nz/api/v1/edms/document/A4182073/content" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>Mapping threatened and rare freshwater-dependednt flora and fauna within the Bay of Plenty Region - December 2021 - Ahika Consulting</SPAN></A></P><P><SPAN>Original REC data here: W:\GeoView\LandManagement\Heather MacKenzie\Data for Mike T - FW dependent Species\Documents 09122021\Public Information\GIS</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
