Wetland mapping resources

Resources to assist Regional Councils with mapping wetlands to 0.05 hectares as required by the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management. Please cite the individual resources if you are using them; this is just an online collection for those resources.

The resources are three reports (Bartlam and Burge 2024; Burge and Bartlam 2024; Martin et al 2024), and data to accompany Martin et al 2024.
