  • 1 Murrah Flora Reserves Protect Koalas, but at What
    MURRAH FLORA RESERVES PROTECT KOALAS, BUT AT WHAT COST? Published in National Parks Association Winter edition of Nature NSW, 2016 “When we moved to Murrah State Forest over 30 years ago we were besieged by wildlife. The abundance was just amazing. Nothing we planted survived the possums, wallabies, and parrots. The bandicoots dug things up and the wombats caved in the best of fences. We kept bees, and several kinds of sugar gliders came in groups at the first sniff of honey, the bush rats, mice and bats moved in. We could not leave the windows open in summer because of possums at night and goannas by day. The bird life was abundant, and hugely varied. The bush just hummed with life. The river had a stony bottom, lush aquatic plant life, and deep pools with small fish, eels, redfin, bass, and the native cray, the marron. After decades of logging for woodchips, Murrah State Forest became silent; koalas, wildlife, flocks of parrots, potoroo, Christmas beetles and cicadas disappeared, owls and gliders were rarely heard, the rivers silted up with sand, and the diversity of the forest’s tree species was reduced to silver top ash and highly volatile forest casuarinas.”1 Between July 2012 and June 2015 a huge community-based endeavour saw survey teams of contractors, volunteers, Aboriginal Land Council and agency staff, search for koala pellets under more than 30,000 trees at more than 1,000 grid-sites across the 30,000 ha Bermagui to Murrah study area. The results were encouraging, with a population estimated of 30–60 animals2, up from the 23–47 estimated from a similar survey undertaken between 2007 and 20093.

  • Oyster Industry Projects
    Vol. 3. November 2011 [Email to subscribe directly] [Email to unsubscribe] Welcome to the Oyster Newsletter At the request of many oyster industry representatives, this newsletter provides an update on national and international news, events and research that may be of interest to the oyster industry. It is provided to you free, and has the simple goal of providing relevant information to industry. It does not aim to replace those newsletters currently published for the oyster industry, but to supply and collate additional information that isn’t readily available into one space. We encourage farmers to circulate it widely through the industry - print it off and pass it around your workers. If you would like to unsubscribe, please click on the link above, or email [email protected]. Since this newsletter is for your information and as a tool to improve communication across oyster regions, we would appreciate any contributions, ideas for future editions, stories or projects in which you are involved, photographs, or any other feedback... Happy oystering! Andy (OceanWatch Australia) & Ana (University of Wollongong) Oyster Industry Projects NSW Oyster EMS Projects The future of the oyster industry depends not only on a healthy environment, but also on the ability to demonstrate that growers are utilising the environment in a responsible and sustainable manner. One way of doing this is to develop an Environmental Management System (EMS) to show how environmental risks, impacts and opportunities are managed. The process of EMS development allows oyster farmers to identify risks arising from internal, on- farm activities and also from external, catchment-based activities.
