Estuarine, coastal and marine issues and indicators workshop report

Product Information

The workshop builds on work that has been taking place in each State & NT over the past six to twelve months. Documentation of this work is available on the Audit website.
The scope of the workshop was limited to the key objectives of the NM&EF which are to help assess:

• the health of the nation’s land, water, vegetation and biological resources; and
• the performance of Government programs, strategies and policies

Specifically, the scope of the workshop was to explore, within the ECM “Matter for Target”, the indicators and information products that should be used to meet the NM&EF objectives at a range of scales from regional through to national, ie Audit / NCC activities 1 and 2 above. Although aspects of Activity 3 (data and information management systems) were raised, this was not the primary focus of this workshop. These issues may be addressed in subsequent fora.
