Summary

The South Australian Wetlands Baseline Monitoring (SAWBuM) is a sub-consultancy with Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM).  SKM staff collect the macroinvertebrate sweep samples in Autumn and Spring, analyse the data and prepare the final report.  MDFRC staff process the collected samples - sort and identify to family or generic level - in the laboratory and prepare datasheets for analysis.

This project ties in with the RMCWMB project.
