Victorian Biodiversity Atlas fauna - 5 minute grid summary

This layer summarises VBA fauna records against a standard grid of 5 degrees longitude/latitude (GDA94). Any VBA taxa record with its centre in a cell is counted as a record for that cell. The number of times a taxon has been recorded in a cell is collated in the RECORDS column. The first date and last date that a taxon has been recorded in a cell are also summarised. VBA data summarised against 10 and 1 minute grids are also available in related datasets. VBA records with a spatial accuracy worse than +/- 4.5 km are excluded from this layer.
