    This project investigated the cause of the extensive areas of mangroves across the Gulf of Carpentaria which died in late 2015. Images from local fisherman showed extended impacted areas of more than 1,000 km where at least 7,400ha of mangroves had died in a matter of months. The project mapped the extent of the mass die-back, conducted aerial surveys to quantify shoreline condition, field studies to validate remote assessments and engaged with local aboriginal ranger groups to raise capacity for monitoring. The imagery can be viewed via a map interface https://maps.eatlas.org.au/index.html?intro=false&z=10&ll=136.96547,-15.79844&l0=ea_nesp4%3AGOC_NESP-4-13_JCU_AerialSurveys_2017_2019_Shoreline_DB,google_HYBRID or viewed as a gallery and downloaded in bulk https://nextcloud.eatlas.org.au/apps/sharealias/a/GOC_NESP-4-13_JCU_Mangrove-Shoreline-Aerial-Surveys_2017_2019 The aerial surveys are the first comprehensive record of oblique and continuous views of coastal shorelines for this large section of the Gulf of Carpentaria – providing a working database of more than 30,000 high-resolution images. This record is a lasting primary reference for baseline visual characterisations of shorelines for 2017 and 2019. The aim of aerial shoreline surveys was to systematically record and investigate the presence of 2015 mangrove dieback, the overall condition of shorelines, processes affecting the mangrove vegetation, and the health of tidal wetlands along Gulf shorelines, as well as in the mouths of major estuarine systems. These surveys were repeated in 2017 and in 2019 to gain insight and knowledge of the issues affecting shorelines, and the severity of factors influencing Gulf shorelines. The aerial surveys provided a baseline database or library of more than 19,534 geotagged oblique locations in 2017 and 2019 covering every metre of shoreline plus a series of inland profiles extending to the upper limits of tidal inundation in 37 estuarine outlets. This dataset consists of the complete set of imagery and compiled observations of current drivers of change and severity of impacts for 37 major estuarine sites. From east to west, these sites included Mission River, Embley River, Watson River, Holroyd River, Christmas Creek, Mitchell River, South Mitchell River, Nassau River, Staatan River, Gilbert River, Accident Inlet, Norman River, Flinders River, Leichhardt River, Albert River, Nicholson River, John’s Creek, Syrell Creek, Massacre Inlet, Dugong River, Toongoowahgun River, Elizabeth River, Sandalwood Place River, Calvert River, Robinson River, Wearyan River, McArthur River, Mule Creek, Limmen Bight River, Towns River, Roper River, Miyangkala Creek, Rose River, Muntak River, Walker River, and Koolatong River. (Note: we are still to publish the estuary survey data on the eAtlas). Shoreline and estuarine evaluations identified more than 30 issues in tidal wetland and shoreline habitats divided into direct and indirect human causes, or natural causes: shoreline retreat & landward transgressions of saline water and tidal wetland vegetation, rising sea levels, severe and frequent storms, feral animals plus other seemingly uncontrolled but damaging local land management practices. Methods: Aerial surveys were conducted in two series during 2017 and 2019. Those in 2017 were completed over 11 days from 1–11 December and included the shoreline survey plus surveys of 37 estuary mouths. The shoreline distance surveyed in 2017 was 2,633 km with a total flying distance of 4,646 km over 173 hours. A follow-up survey in 2019 was completed over nine days from 12–21 September and included the shoreline survey plus surveys of 31 estuary mouths. Aerial surveys were made using an R-44 helicopter flying at around 150 metres altitude. The aircraft windows and doors were removed to aid easier and best quality image capture. The entire shoreline from Mission River at Weipa (Queensland) to Koolatong River in Blue Mud Bay (Northern Territory) was surveyed. Shoreline and target estuaries were assessed in their order of occurrence travelling in a westerly direction. Shoreline filming captured the complete coastline used in the current evaluations of shoreline and estuarine habitat condition, with geotagged high-resolution digital images of shorelines, taken obliquely at low elevations ~150 metres altitude.. These photographs were comprised of three categories of images – survey, scenic and general. Survey photos made up ~60% and consisted of high-resolution images using a Nikon D800E camera with AF-S Nikkor 50 mm 1:1.4 G-series lens and di-GPS. These images were taken to give overlapping continuous coverage of shorelines centred up from the mean sea level contour – as the seaward edge of mangroves. Scenic photos made up ~33% and consisted of high resolution images using a Nikon D850 camera with AF-S Nikkor 28–300 mm 1:3.5–5.6 Gseries and di-GPS. A similar number and types of images were acquired in 2019.

Day 15 Both surveys were conducted during lower tidal levels where this was logistically feasible to do to gain the greatest visibility of the shoreline intertidal vegetation – positioned between the mean sea level and highest tide levels. Limitations of the data: The original aerial imagery data was reprocessed for presentation on the web. The the original aerial photos (which were 6144x4080 pixels) were down-sampled (3000x2000 pixels) and compressed (85% JPEG quality) to shrink the dataset size and make rapid previewing of the imagery much faster. This compression of the images reduced the total image dataset size from 310 GB down to 40 GB. The down-sampling resolution and compression level was chosen so that the images would retain nearly all the visual information of the original images. To allow researchers to assess whether this compression has lost key visual information, a folder on the download page (original-vs-compressed) contains a representative sample of both the original photos and their compress form is available. The original, full resolution versions of the photos is not available for direct download, but can be requested by contacting the eAtlas team via e-atlas@aims.gov.au, noting that to obtain the full dataset we would need to transfer the dataset using a hard drive. Format of the data: - Shoreline Aerial imagery: Georeferenced JPEG images (6144x4080 pixels), labelled with a Shore_FID that cross references into the Shoreline Database (Original Excel spreadsheet NESP_GOC_AerialSurveys_2017_2019.xlsx, or processed GOC_NESP-4-13_JCU_AerialSurveys_2017_2019_Shoreline_DB.shp Shapefile). The 2017 survey contains 16,706 images. The 2019 survey contains 17,161 images.
