Brief description

Currently surveying Logan and Albert Rivers. Due: June 2015 Annual collection of geo-tagged video imagery of shoreline habitats.

Full description

Annual collection of geo-tagged video imagery of shoreline habitats using the Shoreline Video Assessment Method (SVAM) employed by trained community members and organisations. Video imagery is collected using a Sony Handycam from a shallow-draft boat travelling parallel to the shoreline at a distance of ~25m, at a speed between 4 and 6 kts. The video camera is positioned to record directly perpendicular to the direction of travel at all times. Shoreline video imagery is collected with a concurrent time-synchronised 2-second interval GPS track to provide spatial reference to the imagery. Voice recording of observations on mangrove species composition, structure, condition and threats are made during recording with local observations and context provided by a local MangroveWatchers. Shoreline mangrove forest features are recorded from the video using visual criteria-based classification. The video is first divided into 1-second jpeg frame images.

Notes

Features assessed; 1. Mangrove biomass (kg/ha); canopy height, forest structure classification 2. Mangrove condition; presence of canopy dieback, dead trees and canopy density 3. Current shoreline change and mangrove forest process; exposed, stable, expanding 4. High value mangroves at risk of loss; score of mangrove functional capacity 5. Habitat fragmentation; gaps (natural or human) in continuous mangrove stands. continuity score, human modification score 6. Complimentary GIS Assessment; historical shoreline change, mangrove habitat change (1958-2011), Social: Community members provide voice commantary - local issues. And overlay with ecological assessment.
