The mangroves of Torres Strait were mapped with classified Landsat TM satellite imagery. There was 15,663 ha of mangrove mapped on the islands and reefs of central Torres Strait. The largest area of mangrove, 4,744, 3,209, 1,484 and 1,142 ha were mapped on the islands of Boigi, Saibai, Moa and Turnagain Island respectively, which accounted for over two-thirds, 68%, of the mangroves of the central Torres Strait study area. Approximately one-third (49) of the 174 islands of central Torres Strait had mangroves. There was a significant correlation between the distribution of mangroves and the underlying geology; most of the mangroves in Torres Strait were located on coastal alluvium landform features. The mangrove basemaps have been entered into the Torres Strait Geographic Information System for future research, monitoring and conservation planning.
