  • Green and Blue Infrastructure in Darwin; Carbon Economies and the Social and Cultural Dimensions of Valuing Urban Mangroves in Australia
    Article Green and Blue Infrastructure in Darwin; Carbon Economies and the Social and Cultural Dimensions of Valuing Urban Mangroves in Australia Jennifer Atchison Australian Centre for Culture, Environment, Society and Space (ACCESS), University of Wollongong, Northfields Avenue, Wollongong, NSW 2522, Australia; [email protected] Received: 26 June 2019; Accepted: 29 July 2019; Published: 31 July 2019 Abstract: Darwin’s mangrove ecosystems, some of the most extensive and biodiverse in the world, are part of the urban fabric in the tropical north of Australia but they are also clearly at risk from the current scale and pace of development. Climate motivated market-based responses, the so-called ‘new-carbon economies’, are one prominent approach to thinking differently about the value of living infrastructure and how it might provide for and improve liveability. In the Australian context, there are recent efforts to promote mangrove ecosystems as blue infrastructure, specifically as blue carbon, but also little recognition or valuation of them as green or urban infrastructure. Drawing on observational and qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews, this study examines how key stakeholders in Darwin frame and understand mangroves in relation to the urban, and how they are anticipating and responding to governance efforts to frame mangroves and pay for their carbon sequestration and storage services as blue carbon. The push for large infrastructure development and an expanding urban footprint, present serious challenges for mangrove protection, and the study evidences both denial and complacency in this regard. However, although the concept of blue carbon is already taking effect in some circles, it was not viewed as straightforward or as appropriate by all study participants and may very well work in practice to exclude groups within the community.

  • Decision-Making in Conservation: a Model to Improve the Allocation of Resources Amongst National Parks

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Decision-Making in Conservation: A Model to Improve the Allocation of Resources amongst National Parks Abigail Jane Margaret Allan 2008 Decision-Making in Conservation: A Model to Improve the Allocation of Resources amongst National Parks A dissertation presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Natural Resource Management at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Abigail Jane Margaret Allan 2008 ABSTRACT Protected areas are of prime importance to conservation efforts worldwide because they provide society with a range of important environmental, economic, and social benefits. The ability of government agencies to manage threats to their national parks is often compromised by limited resources. There is a growing need to improve decisions about how resources are allocated amongst conservation responsibilities. Multiple Criteria Analysis (MCA) techniques are integrated decision systems that have the potential to reduce the complexity normally associated with decisions about public and quasi-public goods. The explicit expression of a decision-maker’s preferences for certain decision attributes is a key stage in the MCA process. The ability of MCA to increase the understanding, transparency, and robustness of decisions has been demonstrated in many disciplines. This research describes the development of a MCA model to assist decision- makers with the allocation of resources amongst national parks. After a thorough review of the conservation and protected area literature, a MCA model is developed to determine the utility of a group of national parks based upon environmental, economic, and social significance.

  • Three Aboriginal Shell Mounds at Hope Inlet: Evidence for Coastal, Not Maritime Late Holocene Economies on the Beagle Gulf Mainland, Northern Australia
    Three Aboriginal shell mounds at Hope Inlet: Evidence for coastal, not maritime Late Holocene economies on the Beagle Gulf mainland, northern Australia Patricia M. Bourke Abstract Many hundreds of Aboriginal shell mounds exist on the northern coasts of Australia. Though these archaeological features increasingly figure in broad constructions of past coastal hunter-gatherer economies, few have been analysed in any detail. This paper describes the excavation and analysis of three Anadara-dominated shell mounds situated in adjacent microenvironments at Hope Inlet, Shoal Bay near Darwin on the Northern Territory coast. These stratified deposits, formed over some 15 centuries between about 2000 and 500 years B.P., provide a relatively fine- grained record of subsistence and settlement strategies of hunter-gatherer peoples during this Late Holocene period. This study finds that these North Australian coastal groups practiced not a specialised marine or maritime subsistence economy focused on offshore resources, but a generalised and flexible coastal subsistence economy tied to the land. Introduction Many hundreds of Aboriginal shell mounds exist on Australia’s northern coasts. Though these archaeological features increasingly figure in broad constructions of past coastal hunter-gatherer economies, relatively few have been excavated and analysed in fine detail. This paper describes the excavation and analysis of three shell mounds at Hope Inlet, Shoal Bay on the Northern Territory coast near Darwin, undertaken in 1996 with the permission and help of traditional owners, the Larrakia community. The excavated sites are three of hundreds of mounds dominated by Location of Hope Inlet on the North Australian Anadara granosa shell, recorded during surveys for a PhD Figure 1 coast, showing places mentioned in the text.

  • Annual Report 2017/18 Acknowledgement of Country
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017/18 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY City of Darwin acknowledges the Larrakia people as the Traditional Owners of all the land and waters of the Greater Darwin region. To the Larrakia, Darwin is known as Garramilla. The original language of the Larrakia is Gulumirrgin (pronounced Goo-loo-midgin). Often referred to as Saltwater People, the Larrakia lived on pristine coastal land. They established Song Lines that connected Larrakia people to Country, allowing stories and history to be told and retold for future generations. Larrakia people are proud of their rich and vibrant culture, and work hard to maintain their links to Country and ancestors.

  • A Geospatial Evaluation of Aedes Vigilax Larval Control Efforts Across a Coastal Wetland, Northern Territory, Australia
    Vol. 34, no. 2 Journal of Vector Ecology 317 A geospatial evaluation of Aedes vigilax larval control efforts across a coastal wetland, Northern Territory, Australia N. Kurucz1, P. I. Whelan1, J.M. Carter1, and S.P. Jacups2 1Medical Entomology, Centre for Disease Control, Department of Health and Families, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia 2School for Environmental Research, Institute of Advanced Studies, Charles Darwin University, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia Received 19 May 2009; Accepted 18 September 2009 ABSTRACT: Adjacent to the northern suburbs of Darwin is a coastal wetland that contains important larval habitats for Aedes vigilax (Skuse), the northern salt marsh mosquito. This species is a vector for Ross River virus and Barmah Forest virus, as well as an appreciable human pest. In order to improve aerial larval control efforts, we sought to identify the most important vegetation categories and climatic/seasonal aspects associated with control operations in these wetlands. By using a generalized linear model to compare aerial control for each vegetation category, we found that Schoenoplectus/ mangrove areas require the greatest amount of control for tide-only events (30.1%), and also extensive control for tide and rain events coinciding (18.2%). Our results further indicate that tide-affected reticulate vegetation indicated by the marsh grasses Sporobolus virginicus and Xerochloa imberbis require extensive control for Ae. vigilax larvae after rain-only events (44.7%), and tide and rain events coinciding (38.0%). The analyses of vector control efforts by month indicated that September to January, with a peak in November and December, required the most control. A companion paper identifies the vegetation categories most associated with Aedes vigilax larvae population densities in the coastal wetland.

  • Northern Brush-Tailed Phascogale)
    This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister on 13 July 2010 Approved Conservation Advice for Phascogale pirata (Northern Brush-tailed Phascogale) (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this Conservation Advice was approved; this includes existing plans, records or management prescriptions for this species. Description Phascogale pirata (Northern Brush-tailed Phascogale), Family Dasyuridae, is a carnivorous marsupial. The body is 150–210 mm long, with silvery-grey fur. Eyes and ears are large, and the snout is sharply pointed. Body weight is about 150–230 g. Its most notable feature is a long (180–210 mm) tail distinguished by long black hairs. The hairs can be erected when alarmed to form a bottlebrush shape. Conservation Status This species is eligible for listing as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as the total number of mature individuals is limited, continued decline is likely, and the geographic range is precarious. While the estimated extent of occurrence is 57 000 km2, the area of occupancy is estimated to be less than 9 000 km2 and populations within this appear to be discontinuous (TSSC, 2009). The species is also listed as vulnerable under the Northern Territory’s Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 2000. Distribution and Habitat The Northern Brush-tailed Phascogale is restricted to eucalypt forests in the top end of the Northern Territory. It has been recorded from Melville Island (Tiwi group) and West Island (Sir Edward Pellew group), Cobourg Peninsula and Gove Peninsula.
