The intertidal wetlands of Port Curtis

In order to manage marine vegetation communities that are protected under the Queensland Fisheries Act 1994, the Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (DPI&F) has undertaken two mapping programs. The Queensland Coastal Wetlands Resource Mapping Project has mapped all of Queensland's mangrove and saltmarsh communities at 1:100 000. Appendix 11ists the reports of this mapping program. The techniques devised in that project were expanded to map the mangrove and saltmarsh communities of Port Curtis in more detail at 1 :25 000. This scale will allow for more accurate monitoring and change detection at the local scale in the future.
