Foundation report update 2020: Species diversity. Flow-MER Program. Commonwealth Environmental Water Office (CEWO): Monitoring, Evaluation and Research Program

This report was prepared for the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office as part of the Flow-MER Program. It is to be read in conjunction with the published Basin Matter Foundation Reports 2019. The Report Updates outline key changes in the adopted Evaluation approach for the Flow-MER Program. Unless otherwise stated, the Evaluation is conducted as reported in the original Foundation Reports 2019.

Changes in approach have only been adopted where there have been significant advances in methodology and available data, or where unmonitored areas were not previously evaluated. In all other cases, the approach is intended to be consistent with the Evaluation conducted under the Long-Term Intervention Monitoring Project (LTIM).
