Photomapping captured high-order specification (detailed) orthophotos of the Murray Darling River System for habitat mapping and threatened species monitoring for the New South Wales Government. Photography was flown at 3,000ft, with film scanned at 12microns which resulted in a high-detail, high-quality final product of 0.06m pixel ground resolution. The precise scans, geo-referenced orthophotos and mosaics were produced by Photomapping Services for detailed habitat mapping and monitoring of the protected Murray River Cod's ecosystem. Rapid capture was important as the water level for a section of river below Weir gates had to be at its lowest point to identify vegetation snags, a vital component the Murray Cod habitat.
