Mangroves – plants that live in the intertidal environment – burned extensively in NSW during the 2019-2020 summer bushfires. However, mangrove response and recovery from bushfire damage is a novel topic, both here in Australia and worldwide.This presentation will explore the Post-Bushfire Mangrove Recovery project, which involved field visits at three locations in the NSW South Coast (Wonboyn, Moruya, Batemans Bay) where mangroves were killed or severely damaged by the 2019-2020 fires.In addition to sharing the findings, Dr Claudia Santori will outline how this project has employed a variety of inter-disciplinary approaches and methods, such as drone & GIS mapping for bushfire impact and recovery assessments, the value of citizen scientist training & oyster farmer involvement, and field methods such as transects and camera traps.Presenter: Dr Claudia Santori.Powerpoint slides: Post-Bushfire Mangrove Recovery: Community-Led Efforts in the NSW South Coast.#ClimateChangeImpacts#NationalLandcareConference#LandcareConf22
