    2015 WQ Coastal Citizen Science Summary

    Contents Introduction & Background Events & Partnerships Monitoring Achievements, Activities, Aims Acknowledgements 2 Introduction Why do we monitor? Seagrasses and mangroves are indicators of aquatic health and early indicators of change, so much so they’ve been dubbed ‘coastal canaries’. They are Introduction & coastal kidneys - trapping sediment and nutrients from the land which are Background harmful to the marine ecology. Mangroves reduce the erosive and potentially catastrophic effects of storm surges and tsunamis, doing so cheaper and better than man-made structures. And, mangroves and seagrasses sequester carbon - they have the ability to store carbon far more effectively than terrestrial forests. As a seafood-loving country we should know that over 70% of the fish, crabs and prawns we eat are reliant on mangroves and seagrasses during some stage of their life cycle. These ‘coastal canaries’ are habitat for large numbers of other species – biodiversity that have an intrinsic right to exist. Background Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland’s Coastal Citizen Science (WQCCS) coordinates MangroveWatch (MW) and SeagrassWatch (SGW) in and around Moreton Bay, its rivers and creeks. These scientifically rigourous programs were devised by scientists from James Cook University and are conducted globally. Citizen science is broadly defined as the involvement of volunteers in the collection of data for scientific purposes. Teaming volunteers with the scientific community in this way provides important data that would not otherwise be available. Training provided by the scientists and ongoing quality assessment of the data collected ensures the validity of the data for scientific assessment. The data can then be used by natural resource managers and other decision-makers to guide investment and to undertake preventative measures and restorative actions.

Surface Water Quality This Chapter addresses surface water aspects of Section 5.3 of the Terms of Reference; groundwater management were addressed separately in Chapter 6. A detailed technical paper on surface water quality is provided as Technical Paper No 4 – Surface Water Quality in Volume 3 of the EIS. Watercourses in and adjacent to the study corridor are described in the context of their catchment areas. The quality of water in these waterways is assessed from past or existing monitoring programs. Potential impacts on the Environmental Values of the waterways are assessed and Water Quality Objectives are defined in line with existing local, state and national guidelines. Mitigation measures and/or management strategies are defined for identified potential negative impacts. 8.1 Description of Existing Environment 8.1.1 Description of Waterways The waterways intersecting the study corridor that could be affected by the construction and/or operation of the project and their catchments are shown in Figure 8-1. These are: Enoggera Creek; and Kedron Brook.

However, a lot of diffuse pollution is entering Moreton Bay through the urban waterways. Some of Australia’s highest biodiversity values and areas are located in our urban waterways. A Brisbane Catchments Network (BCN) led group is seeking to restore ecosystem health of our waterways. BCN is seeking relevant research to link strategically to our management plans. How much do the community invest in on-ground actions for nutrient reduction? We need to prioritise catchment plans. We will seek to progress this Project in the long-term.
