a) maintaining       adequate      separation
   between the wetland and any adjacent
   development or use6;
b) minimising any modification of the
   natural characteristics of the wetland,
   including the topography, surface and
   groundwater hydrology, water quality
   and flora and fauna species;
c) preventing any new development within
   wetlands;
d) minimising access to the wetland;
e) minimising impacts associated with pest
   insect    control    and    invasion    by
   undesirable plant species; and
f) providing for the rehabilitation and
   replanting of degraded wetlands.

fluctuations, and the nature of potential threats to its integrity and functions.
