  • Rock and Gravel Resources of King Island
    Tasmanian Geological Survey Tasmania Record 1998/05 Rock and gravel resources of King Island by C. R. Calver Summary The known gravel resources on King Island are limited. Material for road works is currently sourced from two pits (Reekara and Pearshape) operated by the King Island Council, and from a mine overburden waste dump at Grassy. Concrete aggregate is sourced from beach shingle on the west coast. The Reekara and Pearshape pits are known to have acid drainage problems. Mineral Resources Tasmania and the Department of Environment and Land Management have agreed that the Reekara pit should be closed immediately and rehabilitated, and that the Pearshape pit should be closed and rehabilitated within two years. Mining of the beach shingle, which is deleterious to the coastal environment, will also cease within two years. Thereafter concrete aggregate will need to be produced from hard rock. Future supplies of road construction gravel may continue to be sourced from the Grassy dump, from a new site at Counsel Hill, and from one or two other small existing pits. For good quality road sealing material and concrete aggregate, it is recommended that sites in Precambrian amphibolite east of Pegarah, and in Tertiary basalt in the north of the island, be investigated. INTRODUCTION rehabilitation of the Pearshape and Reekara pits in King Island’s supplies of gravel for road construction the near future. and concrete aggregate have, for many years, been A substitute or substitutes for these pits needs to be taken from beach shingle at widely scattered points capable of providing an annual total of around along the west coast of the island, and from two 40 000 tonnes of gravel and crushed stone for road inland gravel pits at Reekara in the north and construction.

  • King Island Case Study Final Report
    1 ‘Where’s the Slice for King Island?’1 A case study of provenance protection models in King Island* By William van Caenegem2 and Kana Nakano3 1 Interview with Respondent 14: ‘You see the prices they’re charging in the shop fronts as double, but where is the slice for King Island? We’re getting the same slice as everyone else. How can we leverage that to come back to us?’ * This report could not have been completed without financial assistance for which we acknowledge the support of WTI Advisors and the European Union. However, this is an independent, scholarly study and the analysis and conclusions are entirely those of the authors. Ethics approval was obtained from the Bond University Human Research Ethics Committee for the conduct of interviews. 2 Professor of Law at Bond University. 3 Semester Teaching Fellow and Research Assistant at Bond University. 2 Executive Summary The findings in this case study are based on desktop research augmented with approximately thirty-two (32) interviews conducted on King Island, Australia, and few off-island actors. King Island (‘KI’) lies off the North coast of Tasmania and is part of that state. KI has an established reputation in Australia as a provenance brand for dairy and beef. KI lobster is marketed primarily in China. Australia does not allow for sui generis GI registration of any edible products other than wine. In that context, this case study examines how standard trade marks have become established in KI over time and perform a provenance branding function although they are owned by disparate commercial actors.

  • Overview of Tasmania's Offshore Islands and Their Role in Nature
    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 154, 2020 83 OVERVIEW OF TASMANIA’S OFFSHORE ISLANDS AND THEIR ROLE IN NATURE CONSERVATION by Sally L. Bryant and Stephen Harris (with one text-figure, two tables, eight plates and two appendices) Bryant, S.L. & Harris, S. 2020 (9:xii): Overview of Tasmania’s offshore islands and their role in nature conservation.Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 154: 83–106. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.154.83 ISSN: 0080–4703. Tasmanian Land Conservancy, PO Box 2112, Lower Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7005, Australia (SLB*); Department of Archaeology and Natural History, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601 (SH). *Author for correspondence: Email: [email protected] Since the 1970s, knowledge of Tasmania’s offshore islands has expanded greatly due to an increase in systematic and regional surveys, the continuation of several long-term monitoring programs and the improved delivery of pest management and translocation programs. However, many islands remain data-poor especially for invertebrate fauna, and non-vascular flora, and information sources are dispersed across numerous platforms. While more than 90% of Tasmania’s offshore islands are statutory reserves, many are impacted by a range of disturbances, particularly invasive species with no decision-making framework in place to prioritise their management. This paper synthesises the significant contribution offshore islands make to Tasmania’s land-based natural assets and identifies gaps and deficiencies hampering their protection. A continuing focus on detailed gap-filling surveys aided by partnership restoration programs and collaborative national forums must be strengthened if we are to capitalise on the conservation benefits islands provide in the face of rapidly changing environmental conditions and pressure for future use.

  • MEDIA RELEASE NEWS from the UNIVERSITY of TASMANIA DATE: THURSDAY 15 NOVEMBER 2007 ATTENTION: Chiefs of Staff, News Directors
    MEDIA RELEASE NEWS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA DATE: THURSDAY 15 NOVEMBER 2007 ATTENTION: Chiefs of Staff, News Directors Lobster lotto to help in quest for big, red rock lobsters University of Tasmania researchers are asking people fishing for crays this summer to help in the quest for bigger, redder rock lobsters by reporting any tagged catches. Today is the opening of the commercial rock lobster season, and researchers from the University’s Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute (TAFI) in Taroona are hoping fishers will report catches of tagged rock lobsters on the new 2007 tagged lobster reporting card. “These tagged rock lobsters have been translocated from deeper waters, often in the south of Tasmania,” researcher Dr Bridget Green said. “We are in the third year of trialling the effect of moving rock lobsters from deeper to shallower water. “So far we know that it results in bigger, redder lobsters – and these are the ones of most value to the commercial fishery and most prized by recreational fishers. Survival of translocated lobsters is similar to resident lobsters.” People who catch tagged crays are asked to fill in details on the reporting card so researchers can track the changes in growth and survival of translocated lobsters. There is also an added incentive for fishers: “Every reported tag puts the fisher in the running for one of our prizes in bi-monthly tag lotto – cash, fishing or boating gear, or wine,” Dr Green said. The recreational rock lobster fishing season opened on November 3. Information Released by: The Media Office, University of Tasmania Phone: 6226 2124 Mobile: 0417 517 291 Email: [email protected] Fast facts on translocated rock lobsters Research Time Line: Trials in translocating rock lobsters began in 2005 in Tasmania, South Australia and Victoria, funded through the Fisheries Resource and Development Corporation.

    Flinders Island Tasmania 20–30 March 2014 Bush Blitz Species Discovery Program Flinders Island, Tasmania 20–30 March 2014 What is Bush Blitz? Bush Blitz is a multi-million dollar partnership between the Australian Government, BHP Billiton Sustainable Communities and Earthwatch Australia to document plants and animals in selected properties across Australia. This innovative partnership harnesses the expertise of many of Australia’s top scientists from museums, herbaria, universities, and other institutions and organisations across the country. Abbreviations ABRS Australian Biological Resources Study ANIC Australian National Insect Collection EPBC Act Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Commonwealth) TMAG Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery TSP Act Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 (Tasmania) UNSW University of New South Wales Page 2 of 32 Flinders Island, Tasmania 20–30 March 2014 Summary From 20–30 March 2014, a Bush Blitz survey was conducted on Flinders Island in Bass Strait. The island has eight reserves, including Strzelecki National Park. Flinders Island is one of the remaining parts of the land bridge between the Australian mainland and Tasmania. This history, plus the wide range of habitats from mountains to open shrubland and coastal areas, means that the island is highly diverse. The Bush Blitz survey recorded 862 species, 643 of which had not been recorded previously for the reserves. Thirty-nine species that may be new to science were identified, including 33 invertebrate species (3 moths, 1 beetle, 6 true bugs and 23 spiders) and 6 lichen species. One moth and 10 plant species listed under Tasmania’s Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 (TSP Act) were also collected.

We hope to implement a similar process with estuaries and coastal waters in the Cradle Coast region, aiming to involve as many stakeholders as possible including councils, community groups, industries, state government and research institutes.
