Abstract: | This project aims to conduct a biological survey from 1988 to 2001 to examine the extent and conservation status of mangrove and saltmarsh communities in coastal South Australia. AIMS: 1. Classification and habitat mapping; 2. Continued vegetation surveys; 3. Conservation assessment. Report: Fotheringham, D.G. 2000. Extent and conservation status of mangrove and saltmarsh communities in South Australia,Environment Australia. |
