Australia's Near-Pristine Estuaries: Collated Knowledge and Management Summaries

A 2026 collation of previously disparate information on Australia's near-pristine estuaries, summarized on a state-by-state and national basis. The information was compiled by Geoscience Australia from scientific articles, reports, government data, and expert advice. The dataset emphasizes current knowledge and management practices.

Use Cases

• Inform conservation policy based on collated state and national management summaries.
• Support environmental research based on synthesized scientific literature and expert advice.
• Guide public education and outreach using summarized information from government and grey literature sources.

Strengths

• Information is summarized on both a state-by-state and national level, providing multi-scale context.
• Sources include scientific articles, government data, and expert advice, suggesting a multi-faceted perspective.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is delivered as PDF/HTML documents, which may require extraction for structured analysis.
