MAPPING OCEAN WEALTH

Valuing the wealth of our oceans

In Australia, Mapping Ocean Wealth has quantified and mapped the value ($) of services provided by Australian coastal wetlands.

Research Findings

The Australian Mapping Ocean Wealth report was published on Nov 25th, 2019. It represents three years of marine ecosystem service research, spatial mapping and communication for coastal wetlands in south-eastern Australia by several of Australia’s leading marine science and conservation institutions.

Download the Mapping Ocean Wealth report

Results are also available via the Mapping Ocean Wealth portal developed by The Nature Conservancy. This tool provides access to the all maps created by the Deakin team.

Go to the MOWportal > ‘Data Layers’ (left menu) > Regional Datasets > Australia> and select from a range of maps related to Coastal protection, Blue Carbon, Recreation, and Coastal Ecosystems. All maps can be saved and exported (click on the tool icon underneath the zoom option).
