Permanent plots were established in mangrove forests along the arid coast of the Pilbara region to enable long-term measurements of trunk growth, net biomass production and tree survival. Plots were located near Dampier, at Port Headland, in the Bay of Rest (Exmouth Gulf) and in Mangrove Bay (Cape Range National Park) and were chosen to encompass most of the important geomorphological settings in which mangrove forests occur in the Pilbara region.

At each location, three to four permanent plots were established in canopy forests of Avicennia marina and Rhizophora stylosa, the dominant mangrove tree species in the region. All trees in each plot were tagged and measured. Where seedlings occurred in the understorey, they were also tagged to follow their growth and survival.
