Freshwater Systematic Conservation Plan 2007. This is the freshwater planning unit surface for the 2007 Freshwater Systematic Conservation Plan (FSCP) run by Dr Nick Riversmore in 2007 using MARXAN. Within the attribute table, the field {status} highlights the status of the planning units relative to their conservation importance.

Priority corridors along major rivers in the Central Karoo District Municipality.

The layer codes for River Freshwater Ecosystem Priority Areas (FEPAs) and associated sub-quaternary catchments, Fish Support Areas and associated subquaternary catchments and Upstream Management Areas. Note: This GIS layer codes: • River Freshwater Ecosystem Priority Areas (FEPAs) and associated sub-quaternary catchments • Fish Support Areas and associated sub-quaternary catchments • Upstream Management Areas FEPAs for wetlands and wetland clusters are provided in the wetland GIS layers (NFEPA_Wetlands_30Jul11.shp and Wetcluster_30Jul11.shp).

Priority areas for freshwater biodiversity in Mpumalanga. This spatial product is called the MBSP Freshwater Assessment. The resulting features are predominantly derived from the National Freshwater Ecosystem Priority Areas (FEPA) products, with some alterations and data cleaning. Layers include CBA Rivers (based on FEPA and free-flowing rivers), CBA Wetlands (based on FEPA wetlands), CBA Aquatic species (odonata & crab taxa of conservation concern only), ESA Wetland Clusters (FEPA wetland clusters), and ESA Wetlands (all other non-FEPA wetlands). The MTPA created an updated land-cover using SPOT 2010 imagery. This data, together with high-resolution aerial imagery, was used to update and clean some of the features.
