[talk-au] Remote mapping of wetlands without local knowledge base on imagery

[Warin]

Hi,


There has been some remote mapping of the Diamond Beach area based on 
imagery and descriptive texts. Note the descriptive texts are copyright.


My contention is that without going there or a correctly licensed source 
these things cannot be mapped with any certainty, particularly without 
local knowledge.

Imagery alone is not enough.


I refer to;

I am afraid this mapper falls into the same category as a past remove 
mapper who mapped rocks as cliffs in the Snowys.


My inclination is to remove these objects on the basis that they 
questionable on the stated sources and the lack of local knowledge of 
the mapper.


Thoughts?
