Coastal Floodplain EECs

On the coastal floodplain of NSW, all the remaining native vegetation has been identified to be threatened and each distinct ecological community has been listed as endangered under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995.

To help with your understanding of where to find these Coastal Floodplain Endangered Ecological Communities (EEC), DECC has produced Identification Guidelines and an Indicative Coastal Floodplain Map Series, showing the indicative location of the Coastal Floodplain. These maps and guidelines are available on the EEC profile pages, click below to go directly to these pages:

Other EEC Guidelines

DECC has also produced Identification Guidelines for a number of other EECs listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995, and they are also available on the EEC Profile page. Click below to go directly to these pages:
