| Survey/Project Name: | Coastal Vegetation Transect Surveys |
| Abstract: | Since the 1980's a number of coastal vegetation transects (across the whole of South Australia's coast) have been surveyed mainly in saltmarshes and offshore islands. The transects have been surveyed with high accuracy so they can be repeated in the future to measure change. |

| Survey Type: | Vegetation Only |
| Study Area Description: | Whole of SA coast |
| Objectives | |||
| Vegetation: | Refer to Abstract. | ||
| Fauna: | *** No fauna survey objectives recorded | ||
| Methodology | |||
| Vegetation: | The coastal plant communities are mapped along transects using RTKGPS technology to record the position of vegetation boundaries and also record the natural surface. The surveys conform with Biological Survey of SA methodology. Quadrats are established in plant communities. Additional plants found along transects outside of quadrats are collected and vouchered. Quadrat data is entered into the Biol Survey of SA database. Transect data is stored with the coastal survey database which also contains beach profiling data. | ||
| Fauna: | *** No vertebrate methodology recorded | ||
| Data Distribution Rules: | Public Dataset |
