Additional human language abstract/description

This dataset contains the approximate location of aquatic fauna passage (biopassage) structures in QLD.

Resource purpose/summary
This data layer’s purpose is to represent biopassage structures (i.e. fishways) in Queensland as a spatial data source. The points and associated information were collected through the Aquatic Ecosystems/Wetlands Rehabilitation and Research (AEWRR) Working Group and may not be comprehensive at the time of viewing.
