Abstract

This, Volume 2, documents the major findings of community meetings, ranger training sessions, publication outcomes and field studies – all concerning the mass dieback of mangroves that occurred in the Gulf of Carpentaria in late 2015. As with the studies listed in Volume 1, these in Volume 2 were also led by Dr Norm Duke with Jock Mackenzie from James Cook University (JCU) TropWATER Centre MangroveWatch Hub.

Field studies provided crucial validation of observations made from aerial surveys plus these on-ground studies added further significant insights of the impacts and subsequent changes that occurred across the Gulf coastline up to late 2019 – being four years after the severely damaging event in late 2015.
