Notes:
1. Abundance of avifauna species of conservation importance
amongst wetland habitats within the assessment area: VL = Very Low (~<50
individuals); L = Low (~100 individuals); M = Moderate (~300 individuals); H =
High (~500 individuals), VH = Very High (>700 individuals)
2. Species richness (total number of species) amongst
wetland habitats within the assessment area: VL = Very Low (≤5 species); L = Low (~10 species); M = Moderate (~15
species); H = High (~20 species), VH = Very High (>25 species)
