Ecological risk assessments of key threats to Australia’s tropical rivers
R. A. Van Dam, R. Bartolo and P. Bayliss
ERISS, Land and Water Australia
The aim of this project is to develop a risk assessment framework applicable to the key focus catchments and significant locations that meet stakeholder needs, within the region of the TRIAP. In addition to providing a broad overview of the major pressures on tropical Australia’s aquatic ecosystems, the key component of this study is more detailed risk assessments for the focus catchments, being the Daly River (NT), Flinders River (Qld) and Fitzroy River (WA).

Integrated assessment of wetland services and values as a tool to analyse policy trade-offs and management options
A case study in the Daly and Mary River catchments, northern Australia.
de Groot R, Finlayson M, Verschuuren B, Ypma O & Zylstra M
Supervising Scientist Report 198, Supervising Scientist, Darwin NT. 2008
The aim of this study was to provide a framework for the analysis of the ecosystem services provided by the wetland and riverine ecosystems of northern Australia. A key implication for management is that by explicitly stating the functions and values of wetland ecosystems and identifying where benefits are likely to accrue, it provides justification for specific management actions and proposals. By highlighting potential trade-offs, the decision-making process can become more transparent and encourage consensus and communication between stakeholder representatives and government agencies.
