Acknowledgments

Many contributors have assisted me most helpfully with data, map products, and comments in producing this report. I acknowledge their contribution with grateful thanks.

In addition, a large number of other people provided information, often at very short notice. These include individuals in State and Territory government departments, private industries and voluntary organisations. Their assistance is also gratefully acknowledged. Commonwealth government departments and members of the Commonwealth/State ANZECC State of the Environment Reporting Taskforce also helped identify errors of fact or omission. The efforts of the data-coordinators in State and Territory ANZECC agencies, who had to respond to requests in a short time period, was also appreciated.
