Bottom: Flood plume waters at Princess Charlotte Bay, approximately 14km offshore (north) from the Kennedy River mouth (Jeff Shellberg, 29/1/2013). Produced by Christina Howley (Howley Environmental Consulting) for South Cape York Catchments and Cape York NRM. This report was produced under contract to South Cape York Catchments (SCYC) with funding from the Australian Government for the Cape York Water Quality Improvement Plan. The scope of the report, as identified by SCYC and the WQIP Science Advisory Panel, was to synthesize the available water quality data from eastern CYP and to provide a comparison of the data from the northern, central and southern CYP regions and the GBR water quality guidelines.

Howley and South Cape York Catchments. 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Cape York Peninsula (CYP) marine environment (far northern Great Barrier Reef) is considered to be in good condition compared to other parts of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) or global coral reef ecosystems. This is attributed to a combination of factors, including good water quality due to lower levels of development within CYP catchments, as well as less pressure from recreational and commercial fishers, tourism and other boats.

  • A Re-Examination of William Hann´S Northern Expedition of 1872 to Cape York Peninsula, Queensland
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Historical Records of Australian Science, 2021, 32, 67–82 https://doi.org/10.1071/HR20014 A re-examination of William Hann’s Northern Expedition of 1872 to Cape York Peninsula, Queensland Peter Illingworth TaylorA and Nicole Huxley ACorresponding author. Email: [email protected] William Hann’s Northern Expedition set off on 26 June 1872 from Mount Surprise, a pastoral station west of Townsville, to determine the mineral and agricultural potential of Cape York Peninsula. The expedition was plagued by disharmony and there was later strong criticism of the leadership and its failure to provide any meaningful analysis of the findings. The authors (a descendent of Norman Taylor, expedition geologist, and a descendent of Jerry, Indigenous guide and translator) use documentary sources and traditional knowledge to establish the role of Jerry in the expedition. They argue that while Hann acknowledged Jerry’s assistance to the expedition, his role has been downplayed by later commentators.

Cooktown, Queensland March 2012 Written by Christina Howley1. Reviewed by Dr. Andrew Brooks2, Jon Olley2, Jason Carroll3 1: Howley Environmental Consulting/ CYMAG Environmental Inc. 2: Griffith University, Australian Rivers Institute, 3: South Cape York Catchments For a copy of this report or more information e-mail: [email protected] CYMAG: Formed in 1992 as the Cooktown Marine Advisory Committee, CYMAG (Cape York Marine Advisory Group) has evolved from that of a purely advisory capacity to a group that concentrates on a diverse range of environmental mapping, monitoring and assessment programmes. Based on local community concerns, CYMAG developed and implemented a community based water quality monitoring project for the Annan and the Endeavour Rivers in 2002. Monthly monitoring of these rivers has created the first extensive database of water quality monitored on a regular basis on Cape York Peninsula. This baseline data has allowed us to observe impacts that have occurred to these rivers from mining and other developments within the catchments. Data from all of our water quality monitoring projects is entered in the QLD DERM database making it available to natural resource managers and other land users. (Ian McCollum, CEO) Acknowledgements From 2002 to 2005 all work was conducted by CYMAG & SCYC volunteers. Logistical support, boats, vehicles, fuel, monitoring design and project management were contributed by local scientists and volunteers. Initial funding for monitoring equipment came from the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA).

  • Status of Non-Native Freshwater Fishes in Tropical Northern
    Journal & Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales, Vol. 140, p. 63–78, 2007 ISSN 0035-9173/07/020063–16 $4.00/1 Status of Non-native Freshwater Fishes in Tropical Northern Queensland, Including Establishment Success, Rates of Spread, Range and Introduction Pathways alan charles webb Abstract: At least 20 non-native fishes have been reported from northern Queensland fresh waters, a 75% increase since 1994. Eleven of these species have established breeding populations and some are locally abundant and highly invasive, such as the tilapiine cichlids (Oreochromis mossambicus and Tilapia mariae) and the poeciliids (Gambusia holbrooki and Poecilia reticulata). Besides the continued introduction of non-native species, of great concern is the further spread of the tilapias, especially Oreochromis mossambicus and its hybrid form, and of another invasive, the three-spot gourami, Trichopterus trichogaster. Initial introductions are most probably releases of unwanted aquarium fish directly into open waters, or indirectly from ornamental ponds by flood waters. While natural dispersal is occurring, most of the range expansion of the tilapiine cichlids, particularly into impoundments in flood- prone areas, has been as a result of human translocation, and possibly the use of live bait by anglers. Keywords: Cichlidae, distribution patterns, Gambusia, Gourami, introduction pathways, invasive fishes, Oreochromis mossambicus, Poeciliidae, Tilapia INTRODUCTION native fishes in northern Queensland (McKay (1978, 1989, Arthington et al. 1984, Lear 1987), The history of non-native fishes, i.e., those orig- while McKay (1989) also referred to a previ- inating from overseas, introduced into northern ous, though unsuccessful, introduction of Jor- Queensland fresh waters has been well docu- danella sp.
