Data Collection. 10.4225/08/551484A8DE81A CAMRIS incorporates the Australian estuarine database, which includes the National Estuaries Study (Bucher and Saenger 1989). Attributes include location, name, climatic variables, run-off coefficients, land use, flood frequency, water quality, habitat types including seagrass/mangrove/saltmarsh, fisheries/conservation/amenity values, administration, literature and threats. CAMRIS, standing for the Coastal and Marine Resources Information System, is a small-scale spatial analysis system developed in collaboration by several divisions of Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), as part of the CSIRO Coastal Zone Program. CSIRO Division of Wildlife and Ecology is the custodian of the 'coastal' subset of the Australian Resources Information System (ARIS). Coastal ARIS became the core dataset of the CAMRIS project. The Coastal ARIS database was developed from a coastal inventory developed by Galloway et al. This inventory contained relatively large scale data including landform, geology, vegetation, soil, land use, climate and population information for each of 3027 3x10km sections around the coastline of mainland Australia and Tasmania, but excluding offshore islands.

Estuaries are numbered clockwise around the continent. NAME : Name of major input stream used to identify an estuary unless the estuary itself is named. GEO_ZONE : Set of 12 coastal geographical zones (ACIUCN 1986) CLIM_ZONE : Set of 3 named climatic zones CATCH_AREA : Catchment Area (sq km) AVE_ANN_RF : Mean annual rainfall (mm), recorded at station nearest estuary RUNOFF_COEF : Runoff figure, best approximation to a catchment average rainfall, usually the average value for the respective drainage basin MAX_TIDAL_RANGE : Maximum tidal range (m) WATER_AREA : Water area (sq km) SAND-MUD_AREA : Sand and Mud Area (sq km) MANGROVE_AREA : Area of Mangroves (sq km) SEAGRASS_AREA : Area of Seagrass (sq km) SALTMARSH_AREA : Area of Saltmarsh (sq km) ESTUARINE_AREA : Est area of estuary (sq km) GALLOWAY_SECTION : Galloway section number - each 3x10km strip is numbered, clockwise around the coast. LONGITUDE : Longitude of estuary site (dd) LATITUDE : Latitude of estuary site (dd) LANDUSE_CODE : % catchment clearance FLOOD_REGIME : Frequency of flooding WATER-QUAL : Subjective assessment of water quality only MANGROVE_COVER : Degree Mangrove cover SEAGRASS_COVER : Degree Seagrass cover SALTMARSH_COVER : Degree Saltmarsh cover FISH_VALUE : Importance of an estuary as a commercial or amateur fishing ground FISH_THREAT : Threats to fisheries CONS_VALUE : Qualitative conservation values CONS_THREAT : Threats to conservation AMENITY_VALUE : Amenities value ECO_STATUS : Effects of human activity RESEARCH : Depth of information used to assess estuary ADMIN : Statutory classifications that restricts use. true Conceptual Consistency Check 2015-04-09 Coverage is topologically correct. No particuler tests conducted by ERIN. true Completeness Omission Check 2015-04-09 Complete for the Australian continent. true ERIN: Projected the estuaries point coverage to geographics with the WGS84 spheroid. The coverage has been attributed with information taken from the Bucher and Saenger (1989) National estuaries inventory. CSIRO: Data were stored in VAX files, MS-DOS R-base files and as a microcomputer dataset accessible under the LUPIS (Land Use Planning Information System) land allocation package. CAMRIS was established using SPANS Geographic Information System (GIS) software running under a UNIX operating system on an IBM RS 6000 platform. A summary of data processing follows: 1. r-BASE: Information imported into r-BASE from a number of different sources (ie Digitised, scanned, CD-ROM, NOAA World Ocean Atlas, Atlas of Australian Soils, NOAA GEODAS archive and Complete book of Australian Weather). 2. From the information held in r-BASE a BASE Table was generated incorporating specific fields. 3. SPANS environment: Works on creating a UNIVERSE with a geographic projection - Equidistant Conic (Simple Conic) and Lambert Conformal Conic, Spheroid: International Astronomical Union 1965 (Australia/Sth America); the Lower left corner and the longitude and latitude of the centre point. 4. BASE Table imported into SPANS and a BASE Map generated. 5. Categorise Maps - created from the BASE map and table by selecting out specified fields, a desired window size (ie continental or continent and oceans) and resolution level (ie the quad tree level). 6. Rasterise maps specifying key parameters such as: number of bits, resolution (quad tree level 8 lowest - 16 highest) and the window size (usually 00 or cn). 7. Gifs produced using categorised maps with a title, legend, scale and long/lat grid. 8. Supplied to ERIN with .bil; .hdr; .gif; Arc export files .e00; and text files .asc and .txt formats. 9. The reference coastline for CAMRIS was the mean high water mark (AUSLIG 1:100 000 topographic map series).
