• The Need for Information Sharing
• Current Information Flow
• Our Vision
• Where are we now?
• Where next?
The Need for Information
“Data and evidence are needed to inform strategic catchment management planning”
The Need for Information
“Cooperation and data-sharing are a powerful way to achieve ‘win-win’ situations”
The Need for Information
“Robust monitoring will help to assess which actions are most successful”
The Need for Information
• Need to move from catchment data & information to knowledge & wisdom
• All stakeholders need access
• CaBA= engagement = opportunity to develop information sharing
