Again, in January, 1927, at the kind invi tation of Mr. M. R. Freney, I visited the S-outh C-oast and Port Davey in the ketch Len'IUL (S. Purdon, Skipper). Messrs. P. B. Nye and F.

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.

One client arrived on time from Melbourne and was met and taken to Hadleys Hotel where another client was already in residence. After introducing them and sharing a preliminary bite of lunch, I returned to Hobart Airport to meet the rest of the group, which came in on a Qantas flight from Melbourne. Lunch was therefore later than anticipated, and most welcome! There was plenty of time for the afternoon trip to Mount Wellington, and the cloud which had lain low over the mountain for most of the day showed signs of clearing. While David opted to stay and explore the city of Hobart, the rest of us set off in our minibus, the drive out passing homes of some of the more affluent colonial settlers of the 19th century, their lands now subdivided and occupied by more recent dwellings.

GAA/FIN 16 Legislative Council of Tasmania Inquiry Into Finfish Farming Dear Legislative Council Members, My background I am a resident of Bruny Island and have been for five years, after having sailed around Australia, leaving Barnes Bay in 2003 and returning in 2014. Our yacht remains now on a mooring in Barnes Bay, a short distance from our home on the Bay, from where my partner and I run our small holiday accommodation business. I have been travelling across the d’Entrecasteaux Channel since 1976, by vehicular ferry, runabout, or sailing vessel. Even during the years of circumnavigation of mainland Australia, we would return to Tasmania and Bruny Island for a period, mostly around Easter time. So, I am well accustomed to the coastal environment of Tasmania in general, and Bruny Island in particular; and I am in a position to comment on the Tasmanian experience compared with that in other mainland States. My observations over the years (1976- 2019) In the seventies, the Channel was a largely pristine waterway, with free movement of marine vessels in most zones, major bays and estuaries. The Tasman Sea coast of Bruny was untouched and open waterway for all vessels. The fish farms around Coningham/Sheppards Hill, Howden/Tinderbox and Barnes Bay/Roberts Point have become part of the seascape over the past 30 years or so, but do require additional obstacle considerations for marine traffic, particularly nighttime navigation. Over the past 20 years particularly, I have noticed a change in marine life, both plants and animals/fish. Although there are noticeable seasonal variations, I have found a reduction in traditional fish, such as flathead, and a seasonal flourishing of blue- green algae, to an extent that small boat propellers become unusable in shallow waters.
