Saltmarsh Matters app for iPhone and iPad

The three state regional NRM’s (NRM North, NRM South, NRM Cradle Coast) have worked with the University of Tasmania and Birdlife Tasmania to develop information and resources for coastal saltmarshes, including community based monitoring projects, identification resources and detailed maps for all saltmarsh clusters across southern Tasmania. Saltmarsh was declared an Ecologically Endangered Community under the EPBC Act in August 2013 and community monitoring is important for saltmarsh conservation efforts as there is a lack of detailed data on the diversity, condition or values of saltmarsh in Tasmania. School groups, professionals and coastal groups are encouraged to conduct monitoring around October-April.
