This report is an edited version of a report entitled Shorebirds Data Audit – Northern New South Wales by Dr David Rohweder (Sandpiper Ecological Surveys), prepared for the former Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water NSW and funded by the former Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (CMA).
Shorebird data for the Northern Rivers CMA region was used to establish a baseline dataset for use in future planning and management.
Data were collected for major and minor estuaries and coastline areas, but the amount and quality of data varied substantially across the study area.Collated data were used to compare shorebird numbers and species diversity between locations, and to identify important habitats for threatened shorebirds.
