Measure description
Areas of each vegetation-type and the surface water area of each estuary were estimated from the 1:25 000 estuarine wetland maps using millimetre graph paper.

Resource lineage

Statement
The distributions of estuarine wetland plant communities were mapped between 1981 and 1984. Base maps for each estuary were traced frOm Central Mapping Authority (C.M.A.) 1:25 000 topographic maps. Draft vegetation-type boundaries, interpreted from recent aerial photos, were drawn on these base maps using a Bausch and Lomb Zoom Transfer Scope. Final estuarine wetland maps were produced after field surveys were carried out to confirm boundaries and identify plant species. Vegetation-types identified on these maps were saltmarshes (all species combined), mangroves (all species combined), and seagrasses. In the case of seagrasses, the following species or families were mapped: Zosteraceae (including Zostera capricorni, Zostera muelleri, and Heterozostera tasmanica), Posidonia australis, Halophila spp. (Halophila ova/is and Halophila decipiens) and Ruppia spp. (Ruppia megacarpa, Ruppia polycarpa and Ruppia maritima).
