WA Mangrove Assessment Project (1999-2000)

The data was organised into four major regions (Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne and South West). A database was created that documented key information. The Australian Heritage Commission's criteria for the Register of the National Estate was used to identify, document and assess mangals in Western Australia, so that their natural and cultural values could be documented and afforded the appropriate management and protection. The study identified 363 significant mangal sites on the Western Australian coastline, forty-eight of which are already listed on the RNE with an additional 79 being nominated. Furthermore, this investigation concluded that another 41 sites met the RNE criteria thresholds and have thus been recommended for nomination.

本研究将数据划分为四大区域：金伯利（Kimberley）、皮尔巴拉（Pilbara）、加斯科因（Gascoyne）与西南（South West）。研究团队搭建了一套数据库，用以记录核心相关信息。本次研究采用澳大利亚遗产委员会（Australian Heritage Commission）制定的《国家遗产名录》（Register of the National Estate，以下简称RNE）标准，对西澳大利亚州的红树林群落（mangal）开展识别、记录与评估工作，以期完整记录其自然与文化价值，并施以适宜的管理与保护措施。经统计，本研究在西澳大利亚州海岸线共确认363处重要红树林群落点位，其中48处已列入RNE名录，另有79处已提交提名。此外，本次调查还认定另有41处点位符合RNE的标准阈值，故建议将其纳入提名范畴。
