The data was organised into four major regions (Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne and South West). A database was created that documented key information. The Australian Heritage Commission's criteria for the Register of the National Estate was used to identify, document and assess mangals in Western Australia, so that their natural and cultural values could be documented and afforded the appropriate management and protection. The study identified 363 significant mangal sites on the Western Australian coastline, forty-eight of which are already listed on the RNE with an additional 79 being nominated. Furthermore, this investigation concluded that another 41 sites met the RNE criteria thresholds and have thus been recommended for nomination.
