Technical reports
In addition to the study's final report, results from the
North West Shelf Joint Environmental Study (NWSJEMS) have been
documented in a series of 18 technical Reports.
These technical reports cover reviews of pre-existing information,
accessing information, modelling physical and biological processes,
characterising human activities and impacts, and evaluation of
management strategies.
