Baffle Creek Water Quality & Cultural Mapping Project

Foreshore development including selective clearing of mangroves, beaches and jetties. Eucalypt and large trees interspersed with mangroves on the foreshore. Mud flat and low mangrove on island opposite foreshore from 01:05 to 04:40. Small boat under anchor at 02:25. Boat ramp at 03:25. Aerial drone crew at 04:00. Dead trees along waterline from 04:00. Divert closer to shore at 04:40. Increased mangrove density from 05:35 until end of the clip.

Foreshore development including extensive clearing to form a beach. Mangrove re-growth around the headland from 00:30 to natural foreshore in the small bay from 02:10. Tree death in saltmarsh at 03:35. Jetty and selective clearing at 04:39 transitioning to full mangrove lined foreshore with secondary tree line to the end of the clip.

Full mangrove lined foreshore with secondary tree line to tributary with small mangrove island at 00:25. Loss of secondary tree line from opposite bank of tributary (Bottle Creek) from 01:20 transitioning to mangrove regrowth area and intermittent loss of mangroves from 06:30. Shallow sandbank crossing from 04:55. Continue south of small unnamed mangrove island opposite foreshore from 06:00 to 07:10 followed by drying sandbanks. Fallen trees at 07:20.

​Mangrove regrowth area. Divert away from shore across a shallow sandbank. Intermittent mangrove loss at 03:30. Transition to loss of mangrove and rocky foreshore at 05:00 and developed area at 05:30 (aquaculture outlet/inlet). Large dead tree with a nest at 06:45. Inlet with intermittent mangrove at 07:00 with a jetty at 07:10.

The transition from rock foreshore with eucalypt to mangrove. Dead trees in secondary tree line from 02:05. Jetty and small boat ramp at 03:15. Boats on anchor in the middle of the creek towards the upstream end of Pig Island at 02:45. Boat ramp at 06:10. Wading bird on the foreshore at 07:18.
