Lineage
The Cawthron data provided spans over a 20 year period. To ensure the quality and integrity of the data we have validated the species list and site names (i.e. checked, corrected, updated then cross- checked where necessary). We have also validated the locations of sites where co-ordinates were given, and updated to the NZ260 map series where necessary.
