A review of the proceedings

Abstract

With an increase in public awareness of the values of wetlands and a desire to see the destruction of wetlands cease, those that are degraded rehabilitated, and new ones constructed for natural and water quality improvement purposes, the initiative of CAWS and EIA (NSW) in bringing together government officials, scientists and other members of the community to share their views and aspirations, was rewarded by the extremely good attendance at this working afternoon seminar. The following is a brief summary of the proceedings and of points raised in discussion.
