Flood Issued by THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Washington, D.C., U.S.A. February 1977 Fig. 1. Location of the Capricorn and Bunker Groups. Atoll Research Bulletin No. 195. Flood, P.G.Feb. 1977 CORAL CAYS OF THE CAPRICORN AND BUNKER GROUPS, GREAT BARRIER KEEP PROVINCE, AUSTRALIA by P.G. Flood Introduction The islands and reefs of the Capricorn and Bunker Groups.are situated astride the Tropic of Capricorn at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef Province and approximately 80 kilometres east of Gladstone which is situated on the central coast of Queensland (Fig. 1). The Capricorn Group of islands consists of nine coral cays: North Island, Tryon Island, North West Island, Wi.lson Island, Wreck Island, Masthead Island, Heron Island, and One Tree Island. A tourist Resort and Marine Scientific Research Station have been established on Heron Island. A manned lighthouse operates at North Island and the Australian Museum conducts a field research station on One Tree Island. The Bunker Group consists of five coral cays: Lady Musgrave Island, Fairfax Islands (West and East), and Hoskyn Islands (West and East). Morphological changes occurring between 1936 and 1973 are evident when comparing previous plans of these coral cays (Steers, 1938) with recent vertical aerial photographs. Changes are catagorised into two groups; those related to natural phenomena and secondly, those caused by human interference. Previous work The earliest scientific description of the Capricorn and Bunker Groups is that of Jukes (1847) who visited the area in 1843 on the voyage of H.M.S.

    Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority e • ISSN 0705-8764 Issue Number 14 February 1986 REEF APPRECIATION AREAS CAPRICORNIA SECTION GREAT BARRIER REEF MARINE PARK MASTHEAD ISLAND REEF A Reef Appreciation Area is a small area on a heavily used reef in which the public may observe and appreciate relatively undisturbed marine life. fishing and collecting are not allowed in the Reef Appreciation Areas. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority has declared Reef Appreciation Areas in the Capricornia Section of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park following a review of comments received during a public participation program. The declaration of Reef Appreciation Areas is in keeping with the Authority's goal of providing forthe protection, wise use, appreciation and enjoyment of the Great Barrier Reef in perpetuity through the development and care of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Reef Appreciation Areas are small parts of Lady Musgrave Island Reef, Heron Island Reef, Wistari Reef, Lady Elliott Island Reef, Masthead Island Reef, North West Island Reef and Tryon Island Reef and have been declared until 30June1988. As the Authority's policy is to review a zoning plan every 5 years, it is expected that a review of the Capricornia Section Zoning Plan and the recently declared Reef Appreciation Areas should be completed by 30 June 1988. Each Reef Appreciation Area has been selected because it has a wide range of corals, fish and other marine animals, is free from strong tidal currents and is easily accessible from popular anchorages or camping islands. Activities which may be undertaken in Reef Appreciation Areas include snorkelling, reef walking, diving, photography and observation of marine life.

  • Referral of Proposed Action Form
    Referral of proposed action What is a referral? The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (the EPBC Act) provides for the protection of the environment, especially matters of national environmental significance (NES). Under the EPBC Act, a person must not take an action that has, will have, or is likely to have a significant impact on any of the matters of NES without approval from the Australian Government Environment Minister or the Minister’s delegate. (Further references to ‘the Minister’ in this form include references to the Minister’s delegate.) To obtain approval from the Environment Minister, a proposed action should be referred. The purpose of a referral is to obtain a decision on whether your proposed action will need formal assessment and approval under the EPBC Act. Your referral will be the principal basis for the Minister’s decision as to whether approval is necessary and, if so, the type of assessment that will be undertaken. These decisions are made within 20 business days, provided sufficient information is provided in the referral. Who can make a referral? Referrals may be made by or on behalf of a person proposing to take an action, the Commonwealth or a Commonwealth agency, a state or territory government, or agency, provided that the relevant government or agency has administrative responsibilities relating to the action. When do I need to make a referral? A referral must be made for actions that are likely to have a significant impact on the following matters protected by Part 3 of the EPBC
