</idCitation>
<idAbs>&lt;DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;National Wetland Map 6 is the latest update of the National Wetland Map. This dataset contains an update to the spatial extent of selected catchments and a complete (national) update to the attribute terminology and format. Although plans are under consideration to combine the Artificial Wetlands (dams) into this dataset, currently the National Wetland Map 6 should be used and viewed in conjunction with the NBA2018 Artificial Wetlands dataset.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;National Wetland Map 6 does not include updated condition assessments. This will be undertaken during 2024 and will be published in National Wetland Map 7 for uptake into the National Biodiversity Assessment 2025.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;National Wetland Map 6 includes estuaries extracted from the NBA2018 Estuarine Ecosystems dataset. For further information on the included estuaries, please refer to Van Niekerk et al., 2019.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Appropriate use and a disclaimer are provided under the relevant reports below.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;For queries on National Wetland Map 6 please contact the SANBI representatives of the National Wetland Map team: Adwoa Awuah at a.awuah@sanbi.org.za or Nancy Job at n.job@sanbi.org.za&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</idAbs>
