Habitats and blue carbon
- The modelled kelp forest biome covers none of the park.Jayathilake & Costello 2020 · CC BY 4.0
- Maxwell et al. (2024) map 56,984 tonnes of carbon in the top metre of tidal marsh soil inside the park, 220 tonnes per hectare on average.Maxwell et al. 2024 · CC BY 4.0
Data and research
- 57 of the 1,475 world map layers on Biohotspot with an open licence have data inside the park.
- No document in the Biohotspot research library matches the search “Noosa River”.
Left out
- Global Mangrove Watch (2020) and the Sanderman et al. (2018) map disagree on how much mangrove is here, so neither the mangrove area nor the mangrove soil carbon is shown.

A park here is the CAPAD 2024 Marine zones that share a name and a state. Habitat areas are the habitat maps’ polygons inside the park; carbon, heat stress and human impact are the map cells that touch it. Only sources with an open licence are used. Computed on 2026-10-27.
