  • South Australia's National Parks Guide
    SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S NATIONAL PARKS GUIDE Explore some of South Australia’s most inspirational places INTRODUCTION Generations of South Australians and visitors to our State cherish memories of our national parks. From camping with family and friends in the iconic Flinders Ranges, picnicking at popular Adelaide parks such as Belair National Park or fishing and swimming along our long and winding coast, there are countless opportunities to connect with nature and discover landscapes of both natural and cultural significance. South Australia’s parks make an important contribution to the economic development of the State through nature- based tourism, recreation and biodiversity. They also contribute to the healthy lifestyles we as a community enjoy and they are cornerstones of our efforts to conserve South Australia’s native plants and animals. In recognition of the importance of our parks, the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources is enhancing experiences for visitors, such as improving park infrastructure and providing opportunities for volunteers to contribute to conservation efforts. It is important that we all continue to celebrate South Australia’s parks and recognise the contribution that people make to conservation. Helping achieve that vision is the fun part – all you need to do is visit a park and take advantage of all it has to offer.

Spatial information relevant to species that may be vulnerable in the event of an oil spill in the area has been added to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority’s Oil Spill Response Atlas and all species records added to the DPIPWE Natural Values Atlas.

The Strategic Plan is a second generation plan, building upon 2009 plan. Our vision remains - Natural resources managed to support ecological sustainability, vibrant communities and thriving enterprises in a changing climate The Strategic Plan is designed to be the “Region’s Plan”, where we have specifically included a range of interests and values in Natural Resources Management (NRM). The Board used a participatory approach to develop the plan, which allowed us to listen to and discuss with local communities, organisations and businesses about the places and issues of importance. This approach has built our shared understanding, broadened our perspectives and allowed us to capture a fair representation of the region’s interests and values.

  • Sir Joseph Banks Group
    Sir Joseph Banks Group The Sir Joseph bank Group comprising about 20 islands, islets and rocks is less than 25 miles from Port Lincoln and therefore an easy day sail. The trip is made more complicated than a glance at the chart might suggest because of the presence of many fish farms extending well to the east and north of Boston Bay making the trip somewhat of an ‘obstacle course’. Although these island are low-lying and do not have the soaring cliffs and rugged coastline of the more southerly Thistle and Wedge Islands, they do have a charm and beauty of their own, and are definitely worth visiting. There are numerous reefs, isolated rocks and shallow patches within the Group, so careful navigation and attention to the tide are required. All the islands are part of the Sir Joseph Banks Marine Park which means some activities are restricted in designated areas. Current information can be found on the National Parks and Wildlife Service website https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/marineparks/find-a-park/eyre-peninsula/sir-joseph-banks Homestead Bay Shelter from NE – E – SE Indicative Anchoring Position Note. Indicative anchoring positions are for reference only and should not be used as waypoints. 34° 32.1’S 136° 16.3’E The best position for anchoring depends on many factors including vessel draft, tide, and forecast wind. Homestead Bay (or Reevesby Lagoon as it is often called) is on the western side of the largest island in the group. It is a favourite anchorage for many sailors, and usually the first stop for visitors to the group.

  • 16. Jetties, Shipwrecks and Other Artificial Reefs
    Jetties, shipwrecks and other artificial reefs. Chapter 16 in: Baker, J.L. (2015) Marine Assets of Yorke Peninsula. Report for Natural Resources - Northern and Yorke / NY NRM Board, South Australia. 16. Jetties, Shipwrecks and Other Artificial Reefs Edithburgh Kleins Point © D. Kinasz © J. Zhang Asset Jetties, Shipwrecks and other Artificial Reefs Description Structures of wood, iron, steel, and other materials, throughout the NY NRM region, ranging from oceanographically exposed through to sheltered locations. Jetties and shipwrecks function as surfaces for attachment of marine plants and attached invertebrates; sheltering and feeding areas for fishes, sharks, rays and invertebrates; and as “fish-attracting” devices, periodically visited by schooling fishes which are attracted to vertical structure. Surrounding sea floor varies according to the location of the jetty or wreck, and includes reef, seagrass, sand, and rubble. There are also two purpose-built artificial reefs in the NY NRM region, constructed of tetrahedon module units, made up vehicle tyres. Main Species Sponges sponges (numerous species, in genera Dysidea, Euryspongia, Darwinella, Aplysilla, Dendrilla, Clathrina and many others) Ascidians / Sea Squirts Red-mouthed Ascidian, Obese Ascidian, and other solitary ascidians / sea squirts Brain Ascidian, and other colonial ascidians Spongy Compound, Leach’s Compound & other compound ascidians Corals gorgonian corals such as Mopsella zimmeri (on current-exposed jetties) soft corals, such as Carijoa (also Drifa sp. on current-exposed jetties) solitary coral Scolymia Bryozoans various species, including various species in Cellaporaria (such as Orange Plate Bryozoan and Nipple Bryozoan) and species in Triphyllozoon (Lace Bryozoans) Gastropod Shells Cowries, Cartrut shell, Triton shells Bivalve Shells Doughboy Scallop, Razorfish Shell, juvenile Native Oyster Jetties, shipwrecks and other artificial reefs.

  • Habitat Types
    Habitat Types The following section features ten predominant habitat types on the West Coast of the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia. It provides a description of each habitat type and the native plant and fauna species that commonly occur there. The fauna species lists in this section are not limited to the species included in this publication and include other coastal fauna species. Fauna species included in this publication are printed in bold. Information is also provided on specific threats and reference sites for each habitat type. The habitat types presented are generally either characteristic of high-energy exposed coastline or low-energy sheltered coastline. Open sandy beaches, non-vegetated dunefields, coastal cliffs and cliff tops are all typically found along high energy, exposed coastline, while mangroves, sand flats and saltmarsh/samphire are characteristic of low energy, sheltered coastline. Habitat Types Coastal Dune Shrublands NATURAL DISTRIBUTION shrublands of larger vegetation occur on more stable dunes and Found throughout the coastal environment, from low beachfront cliff-top dunes with deep stable sand. Most large dune shrublands locations to elevated clifftops, wherever sand can accumulate. will be composed of a mosaic of transitional vegetation patches ranging from bare sand to dense shrub cover. DESCRIPTION This habitat type is associated with sandy coastal dunes occurring The understory generally consists of moderate to high diversity of along exposed and sometimes more sheltered coastline. Dunes are low shrubs, sedges and groundcovers. Understory diversity is often created by the deposition of dry sand particles from the beach by driven by the position and aspect of the dune slope.
