The database file containing the data for these figures can be found here (5 Mb). This appears to be an Office 97 Access database and it is not very user friendly. More up to date data (which appears to include the data above) can be accessed via the the EIM Query System at the Department of Ecology website. The data can be exported in a format that can be easily imported into a spreadsheet or database.
