Brief description

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.

Statement: The site assessment is based only on documented information and it is acknowledged that the large gaps in information encountered in the study has probably led to many sites having anomalous assessments. The information comes from a variety of sources, references from a variety of dates (no original data was collected for this study). Each individual site lists the references used to compile the information in the database. This database could be updated in the future depending on resources.
