Cover image: Wetland in the Paruku IPA, Kimberley © Tanya Vernes World Wide Fund for Nature ABN: 57 001 594 074 Executive Summary "Establishing priorities for wetland conservation and management in the Kimberley" was funded by WWF-Australia and the Natural Heritage Trust through the Rangelands NRM Coordinating Group. The project was developed to collate existing knowledge of wetlands across the Kimberley region and generate a baseline of information on current threats, uses, cultural and biological values in conjunction with land owners and managers. This project also aimed to provide recommendations on a way forward for planning and management of wetlands in the Kimberley. This is the final project report, and includes: • A summary of the major activities completed under the contract milestones; • A summary of the major findings of the project; • Future recommendations for wetland planning and management in the Kimberley. Information regarding values and threats associated with wetlands in the Kimberley are collated and discussed for each of the 12 catchments. Engaging local people, including Aboriginal custodians, in two way information sharing and problem solving, assisted to build regional and specific information on wetlands.

King Sound and the Tide-Dominated Delta of the Fitzroy River: Their Geoheritage Values
Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 94: 151–160, 2011 King Sound and the tide-dominated delta of the Fitzroy River: their geoheritage values V Semeniuk1 & M Brocx2 1 V & C Semeniuk Research Group 21 Glenmere Rd, Warwick, WA 6024 2 Department of Environmental Science, Murdoch University, South St, Murdoch, WA 6150 Manuscript received November 2010; accepted April 2011 Abstract There are numerous geological and geomorphic features in King Sound and the tide-dominated delta of the Fitzroy River that are of International to National geoheritage significance. Set in a tropical semiarid climate, the delta of the Fitzroy River has the largest tidal range of any tide- dominated delta in the World. Within King Sound, the Quaternary stratigraphy, comprised of early Holocene gulf-filling mud formed under mangrove cover and followed by middle to late Holocene deltaic sedimentation, and the relationship between Pleistocene linear desert dunes and Holocene tidal flat sediment are globally unique and provide important stratigraphic and climate history models. The principles of erosion, where sheet, cliff and tidal creek erosion combine to develop tidal landscapes and influence (mangrove) ecological responses also provide a unique global classroom for such processes. The high tidal parts of the deltaic system are muddy salt flats with groundwater salinity ranging up to hypersaline. Responding to this, carbonate nodules of various mineralogy are precipitated. Locally, linear sand dunes discharge freshwater into the hypersaline salt flats. With erosion, there is widespread exposure along creek banks and low tidal flats of Holocene and Pleistocene stratigraphy, and development of spits and cheniers in specific portions of the coast.

Habitat Use of the Freshwater Sawfish (Pristis Microdon) and Northern River
Utility of a multi-faceted approach in determining the habitat use of endangered euryhaline elasmobranchs in a remote region of northern Australia Jeff M. Whitty This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2011 DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work that has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ………………………………………………… Jeff M. Whitty 2011 Frontispiece: P. microdon and G. garricki photos by Dean Thorburn 2 Abstract The overriding aim of this thesis was to explore the habitat use of the critically endangered freshwater sawfish (Pristis microdon) and northern river shark (Glyphis garricki) in the remote Kimberley region of northern Western Australia. This information has been largely lacking and is critical for the management and conservation of these species. Habitat use of these species was documented through the use of long-term catch, environmental and tagging (conventional, acoustic and satellite) data, which was acquired between 2005 and 2009 in the Fitzroy River and King Sound, Western Australia. Monitoring of the various environmental parameters demonstrated that the study area is extremely dynamic, with significant seasonal changes in abiotic variables such as water flow, depth, temperature, turbidity and salinity. Catch data demonstrated that juvenile P. microdon inhabit the Fitzroy River for three to five years, at which time individuals begin to emigrate from the river, prior to maturation. Catch data also demonstrated that juvenile and adult male G. garricki inhabit highly turbid nearshore waters throughout the upper King Sound.

R('( H'C\f AWfHw 1990.141(4): 527-545 A collection of freshwater fishes from the Kimberley region of Western Australia Gerald R. Allen* and Ray Leggettt Abstract Collections of freshwater fishes from the Kimberley region of northwestern Australia are reported. A series of 51 sites were sampled mainly with various types of nets. An annotated list of the 27 species collected is presented. Discussion concerning the composition, origin, and high percentage of endemism of the Kimberley iehthyofauna is included. Introduction Until recent times a knowledge of the freshwater fish fauna of Australia was far from complete. Thanks to important revisions of certain key groups this problem is partially rectified. Notable in this regard are reviews of Galaxiidae (McDowall and Frankenburg 1981), Atherinidae (Ivantsoff 1978), Melanotaeniidae (Alien and Cross 1982), Pseudomugilidae (Said, Ivantsoff, and Alien in press), Ambassidae (Alien and Burgess in press), Terapontidae (Vari 1978), and certain eleotridid genera (Hoese and Alien 1983 and 1987). In addition two recent books (Merrick and Schmida 1984; Alien 1989) summarised the entire Australian fauna. Nevertheless there remains a need for detailed regional studies, particularly in remote areas of the far north. There is still much to learn concerning the distributional limits of the northern species and especially 'lbout their biology. Moreover, there are probably a few undescribed species that await discovery, judging from recent collections. The Kimberley region of north-western Australia is one area in particular that is worthy of study. Previous expeditions to the Prince Regent, Drysdale, and Mitchell rivers have resulted in the discovery of 15 new species (Alien 1975c; Hutchins 1977 and 1981).
