Revegetation of disturbed mangrove habitats in Central Queensland

Tidal wetlands such as mangroves and salt marshes possess many valuable attributes, ranging from forest and fishery products to ecosystem services such as shoreline protection and water filtration. In many parts of the world, past impacts and current pressures threaten the viability of these areas. There is wide interest in mangrove restoration, with increasing focus on the functional aspects of rehabilitated systems. Achieving these goals requires attention to restoring linkages, such as those between mangroves and adjacent salt -tolerant vegetation types, including salt marshes.
