Acquiring information about the size, distribution and location of wetlands is the first step towards evaluating their habitat value in a landscape perspective. An explicit review about the strengths and limitations of any landcover database is critical prior to input into the decision making process. Techniques were developed for charactizing wetland habitat components in a landscape context utilizing remote sensing and geographic information system technologies. A hierarchy of remotely sensed data ranging from 1:5000 colour infrared aerial photography to LANDSAT Thematic Mapper satellite data was employed to compare detail of information available at each scale of data. These techniques included evaluation of ground-based wetland classification systems, air photo interpretation , investigation of approaches to image classif
