  • Southern Tasmanian Coastal Saltmarsh Futures a Preliminary Strategic Assessment
    Southern Tasmanian Coastal Saltmarsh Futures A Preliminary Strategic Assessment Vishnu Prahalad and Jill Pearson March 2013 Executive summary Southern Tasmanian coastal saltmarshes form a crucial ‘link’ between terrestrial and marine systems, providing critical ecological functions that support a range of ecosystem services and biodiversity values. Close to a half of these important coastal ecosystems have already been lost or degraded due to land use change and impacts, sporadic and variable management approaches and lack of broad awareness of the important values provided by these habitats. In addition, future climate change and sea level rise projections leave these ecosystems in a precarious position given that they occupy shores within 1 m of high water. This raises the question: is there a future for coastal saltmarshes in southern Tasmania? The Southern Tasmanian Coastal Saltmarsh Futures project has completed an inventory and mapping of the current extent of coastal saltmarshes throughout the southern region of Tasmania, as well as ‘future footprint’ mapping under sea level rise conditions out to 2100, to further assess this question. The inventory database, which sits alongside the mapping of current extent, brings together a range of environmental and management related information that has either been collected in previous projects or is presented here for the first time. This report provides: an introduction to coastal saltmarshes in southern Tasmania an outline of the mapping methods used summary results from the inventory and mapping components a brief discussion on ecosystem based management as a possible way forward for improved management of coastal saltmarshes into the future. Mapping of the future footprint of coastal saltmarshes in southern Tasmanian shows that for the areas where modelling data is available, approximately 75% of coastal saltmarshes have either ‘some’ or ‘sufficient’ room to move.
