In 2013, Subtropical and Temperate Coastal Saltmarsh was recognized as a nationally threatened ecological community. This upper tidal zone supports a wide range of ecosystem services under the toughest of conditions, with high levels of salt and exposure impacting the ecosystem. SEQ Catchments invites you to be part of a regional conversation that will bring together stakeholders that have an interest in the management of this ecosystem and to build our collective understanding of threats, projects and opportunities for saltmarsh conservation. SEQ Catchments is focusing on this saltmarsh community as a Matter of National Environmental Significance through funding from the Australian Governments National Landcare Programme.
