• 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
