Mapping to underpin management of tropical littoral rainforest

This project has produced fine-resolution mapping of the location of the critically endangered Littoral Rainforest & Coastal Vine Thickets of Eastern Australia community between Townsville and Cooktown (Wet Tropics bioregion) and examined the current and projected future threats to its persistence and condition from the impacts of sea-level rise, storm surge and extreme weather events.
