However, within SEQ there are numerous individual coral communities which include a diverse and extensive range of coral growth forms, including offshore sites like Flinders Reef. Here, 119 different coral species have been recorded (Harrison, Harriot, Banks, & Holmes, 1998).

Most surveys were conducted within Moreton Bay Marine Park, covering an area of 3400 km2 from Caloundra to the Gold Coast. RCA collects data in varied reef habitats, both within protected and non- protected marine park areas for contrast and comparison. During the 2012 SEQ season, 16 out of the existing 28 sites were monitored Figure 1. Map of South East Queensland survey sites from (Table 1).

  • North Stradbroke Island Historical Museum Association Inc
    NORTH STRADBROKE ISLAND HISTORICAL MUSEUM ASSOCIATION INC. ANNUAL REPORT 15th September 2017 It is my pleasure to present the Annual Report for 2016/2017. The major milestone and event for the year was our 30th Anniversary celebration on 13th May with a community function at the Museum and the running of two big raffles. I thank all the generous donors to those raffles and to all the ticket buyers. We also thank Bernadette Ryan for her great work in arranging all the Raffle prizes and making the raffles so exciting. The function and the Raffles were very successful fund raisers and we will be carefully considering the special uses we put the money toward. As part of the 30th Anniversary celebrations, the Museum collected artwork from every Dunwich State School Class inspired by the Museum Collection, and I am sure everybody enjoyed them posted all over the Museum at the student’s discretion. Long serving Management Committee Members Margaret Nash and Barbara Smith will not be standing for re-election this year. Margaret as Treasurer and Barbara as Secretary and Display convener have for many years given invaluable service to the Museum. We wish them well in their retirement. On behalf of the Museum I want to express our appreciation of the work all the volunteers contributed through the year. And both Lisa and Elisabeth who contribute far more time and effort than we could ever pay them for. Lisa and Elisabeth have both been granted valuable Research Awards this year. Elisabeth is being funded to do research at the Queensland Maritime Museum and Lisa has been granted a Fellowship with the Queensland State Library.

We are reaping the benefits of the revamp of our Cove Café, it has remained busy since the alterations. We have had many good comments about it.

  • 2015 WQ Coastal Citizen Science Summary
    Contents Introduction & Background Events & Partnerships Monitoring Achievements, Activities, Aims Acknowledgements 2 Introduction Why do we monitor? Seagrasses and mangroves are indicators of aquatic health and early indicators of change, so much so they’ve been dubbed ‘coastal canaries’. They are Introduction & coastal kidneys - trapping sediment and nutrients from the land which are Background harmful to the marine ecology. Mangroves reduce the erosive and potentially catastrophic effects of storm surges and tsunamis, doing so cheaper and better than man-made structures. And, mangroves and seagrasses sequester carbon - they have the ability to store carbon far more effectively than terrestrial forests. As a seafood-loving country we should know that over 70% of the fish, crabs and prawns we eat are reliant on mangroves and seagrasses during some stage of their life cycle. These ‘coastal canaries’ are habitat for large numbers of other species – biodiversity that have an intrinsic right to exist. Background Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland’s Coastal Citizen Science (WQCCS) coordinates MangroveWatch (MW) and SeagrassWatch (SGW) in and around Moreton Bay, its rivers and creeks. These scientifically rigourous programs were devised by scientists from James Cook University and are conducted globally. Citizen science is broadly defined as the involvement of volunteers in the collection of data for scientific purposes. Teaming volunteers with the scientific community in this way provides important data that would not otherwise be available. Training provided by the scientists and ongoing quality assessment of the data collected ensures the validity of the data for scientific assessment. The data can then be used by natural resource managers and other decision-makers to guide investment and to undertake preventative measures and restorative actions.

    Item: Redlands Draft LG Report Date: Last updated 11th November 2014 2014 Update of the SEQ NRM Plan: Redlands How can the SEQ NRM Plan support the Community’s Vision for the future of Redlands? Supporting Document no. 7 for the 2014 Update of the SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan. Note regards State Government Planning Policy: The Queensland Government is currently undertaking a review of the SEQ Regional Plan 2009. Whilst this review has yet to be finalised, the government has made it clear that the “new generation” statutory regional plans focus on the particular State Planning Policy issues that require a regionally-specific policy direction for each region. This quite focused approach to statutory regional plans compares to the broader content in previous (and the current) SEQ Regional Plan. The SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan has therefore been prepared to be consistent with the State Planning Policy.
