Non-riverine Wetlands
Non-riverine wetlands include both lacustrine and palustrine wetlands, however, do not currently incorporate estuarine,
marine or subterranean wetland types. A summary of the conservation significance of non-riverine wetlands within the AOI is
provided in the following table. Refer to Map 6 for further information.
