Title |
NSW estuary health risk dataset |
Abstract |
The NSW Estuary Health Risk Dataset was created to support Stage 1 of preparing Coastal Management Programs under the NSW Coastal Management Manual (2018). The dataset identifies land-use pressures and consequent risks of impacts on the ecological health of estuaries. Risks associated with other pressures, such as acid sulfate soils, erosion and contaminants, are not captured. The dataset can be used to spatially prioritise where further studies and/or management actions in the catchment would contribute to achieving outcomes, specific to the management objectives for Coastal Environment Areas, and Coastal Wetlands and Littoral Rainforests Areas which are specified in the Coastal Management Act 2016. The dataset includes two shapefiles and one raster file for each estuary and its associated catchment in NSW. It is recommended that all files be reviewed to help set the context for the estuary health risk. A data report describing how the dataset was created and how it should be used is available here: https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/research-and-publications/publications-search/nsw-estuary-health-risk-dataset. To access the dataset, you may contact the Data Broker and request the Estuary Health Risk dataset for your estuary. Appendix B of the data report provides a list of data available. Alternatively, you may download the dataset for all estuaries located in the ‘Dataset Packages’ drop down below. |

Lineage |
The subcatchment boundaries were created using ArcHydro tools using a 25m digital elevation model. Flow directions were constrained by known Hydrolines (stream network) and the upper tidal limit boundaries, which were created as part of the NSW Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Strategy 2010-2015. Modelled flow values and nitrogen, phosphorus and suspended solid loads were derived from unsaturated zone models PERFECT and HYDRUS2D, using specified climate, soil (Australian Great Soil Group) and land use (NSW Land Use 2003) categories. The flow values were multiplied by an event mean concentration for unique combinations of climate, soil and land use categories to determine load values. Risk scores were based on a risk analysis (likelihood x consequence), as per the NSW Treasury Risk Management Toolkit. Likelihood data represent the land use pressures arising from the each subcatchment (nitrogen, phosphorus and suspended solid loads). Consequence data represent the ecological response as determined estuary models, and proximity to environmental assets. A report providing detail on the methods is supplied with this dataset and should be referred to when interpreting the dataset. |
