Boundaries - Latitudes and Longitudes

How many species can we collectively record during 2008? Can we better the past two years? Can we reach 250?? Same rules as previous years. Good luck!

Boundaries - Latitudes and Longitudes

Post by Mick Atzeni »

The official TBO Survey Area is the rectangular area bounded by:

Latitude: between 27º 25' 00" S & 27º 45' 00" S

Longitude: between 151º 45' 00" E & 152º 10' 00" E

For the club's monthly recording purposes, the survey area is divided into 20 grids, each 5'x5'.
