This report describes the updated mangrove communities for the approximately 32,000 ha of mangroves and salt flats that line the foreshores of Darwin Harbour, Shoal Bay and areas south of Charles Point and Gunn Point. Results indicate that there has not been any significant, discernible or substantive changes in mangrove forest composition in Darwin Harbour between 1996 and 2016.

Mangrove Monitoring Project: Sub-project A 10 4.1.2 IMMRP monitoring area The new mapping will form the future base-line for the mangrove environment in the IMMRP monitoring area. The spatial data provided has been attributed with the Community number and Community description as per Table 2. Full community descriptions are provided in Appendix 8.1. Table 2.
