This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub scoping study - "Identify knowledge gaps and solutions for extent mapping of Australian marine and coastal wetlands". No data outputs were generated by this project. Marine and coastal wetlands provide extensive ecosystem services. In Australia, coastal wetlands protect shorelines, improve water quality, support healthy fisheries, promote tourism, store carbon, and hold special cultural values, supporting people and the economy. Like many wetlands around the world, Australian wetlands continue to be threatened, degraded, and lost due to climate change, development, and other human activities. A national wetland inventory is being developed by the Australian Government as a step towards improving wetlands management and protection, and fulfilling national and international reporting requirements. This project identified key knowledge and inventory gaps and determined solutions to progress a consolidated inventory within the context of a wider review of national mapping capacity for wetlands. Gaps and solutions were identified through targeted surveys and workshops with end-users and researchers following a review of relevant data and literature. A summary of the status of mapping habitat attributes and services such as blue carbon, coastal protection and shorebird habitat was produced and is available within the Final Technical Report generated by this project. This enables prioritisation for future investment to fill knowledge gaps. Outputs • Report reviewing and synthesising knowledge gaps in inventory mapping of marine and coastal wetlands, identifying effective solutions, and guiding subsequent research projects for enhancing wetland mapping [written]
