Data Quality Lineage Using estuaries that have been identified as part of the draft 'Estuaries Policy and Action Plan for South Australia' habitat boundaries were delineated using existing benthic habitat mapping and saltmarsh and mangrove habitat mapping and additional line work digitized from aerial photography. Digitization was undertaken in the DEH's SDE edit environment to map vegetation and landform boundaries that were located by a combination of air photo interpretation, heads-up orthophoto digitisation, field capture and integrated line work from the above mentioned existing spatial data sets. Imagery was sourced from the most up to date available in the DEH image library at the time of completion and as such imagery was undertaken using images at a variety of scales (refer to positional accuracy). Completeness This dataset is complete for all of the estuaries identified in the draft 'Estuaries Policy and Action Plan' 2007. Positional Accuracy The majority of mapping is based on 1:2,500, 1:10,000, 1:15,000, 1:40,000 & 1:80,000 digital orthophotograhy. Due to the varying imagery used in capture the positional accuracy may vary but may be accepted to be +/- 15m for all purposes.
