  • Legune Coastal Floodplain
    Legune coastal floodplain Location and Description Located between the mouths of the Victoria and Keep Rivers and 330 km south-west of Darwin in the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf, the Legune coastal floodplain is the western-most coastal floodplain in the Northern Territory. The floodplain extends across extensive tidal flats to Turtle Point in the north and includes a range of freshwater wetland habitats. Large areas of mangroves are associated with the major rivers and channels. Despite close proximity to major rivers, the catchment area for the floodplain system is relatively small being supplied by Forsyth Creek and other smaller unnamed creeks. This differs from other coastal floodplain systems in the Territory which are directly inundated by the river they are associated with. Tenure and Land Use Google Earth imagery This coastal floodplain is predominantly pastoral leasehold land within one pastoral property (Legune). The main land use within the Site is grazing of cattle on native pastures. Significance Rating International Significance Ecological Values The Legune wetlands comprise extensive areas of diverse freshwater and saline wetland habitat and are known to support more than 40 000 mixed waterbirds, mostly Wandering Whistling-Ducks and various egrets and herons. At least four waterbird breeding colonies have also been recorded on the floodplain, including the second largest waterbird colony in the Territory. Turtle Point supports high density nesting of the Flatback Turtles and significant aggregations of migratory shorebirds. Management Issues Grazing pressure from cattle can affect wetland habitats, especially where access is not restricted during wet periods. Any future expansion of the Ord irrigation scheme is likely to affect the lower Keep River, which may have some impacts on the Legune floodplain.

  • The Sounds of Fish Off Cape Naturaliste, Western
    THE SOUNDS OF FISH OFF CAPE NATURALISTE, WESTERN AUSTRALIA Miles Parsons, Robert McCauley and Frank Thomas Centre for Marine Science and Technology, Curtin University, WA 6845, Australia [email protected] Fish calls and choruses contribute considerable energy to the underwater soundscapes of Western Australia's waters. There are many fish species of social and economic importance which could be the source of these sounds. For example, the Western Australian dhufish (Glaucosoma hebraicum), which is endemic to the coast, has been shown to produce sound when captured. To investigate how much this species contributes to ambient noise levels, loggers were deployed between December, 2011 and February, 2012 at numerous locations around Cape Naturaliste in Western Australia, where some of the largest numbers of G. hebraicum are reported. Recordings taken near the site of the HMAS Swan wreck between 2009 and 2010 were also examined. Five fish choruses have been described centred at approximately 0.5, 1, 2 and >2 kHz (two choruses at >2 kHz). Many individual fish calls were detected at various locations around the Cape, particularly in the frequency ranges between 100 and 900 Hz. The acoustic characteristics of these calls are described, as well as the contribution of fish calls and choruses to the local soundscapes. The calls most similar to the previously reported G. hebraicum calls have been identified. INTRODUCTION harem of several females to one or two males [20, 21]. While Around Australia numerous species of fish produce comparatively little is known about the spawning behaviour of sound, individually, in small groups or as part of a chorus the species, catch reports and biological sampling have shown [1-5].

The riparian fl ora and plant communities of the Pilbara region of Western Australia M.N. Lyons Department of Parks and Wildlife, Science and Conservation Division, Kieran McNamara Conservation Science Centre, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract – A survey of riparian fl ora and plant communities was undertaken at 98 wetlands and rivers in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Sampling was quadrat-based, with fl oristics, surface soils and wetland attributes recorded. Selected sites captured the full range of Pilbara wetland types including springs, river pools, claypans, salt marshes and rock pools. A total of 455 taxa was recorded from the survey sites, representing ca. 25% of the known fl ora of the Pilbara bioregion. The fl ora is dominated by taxa with Eremaean and tropical affi nities, with only six taxa endemic in the region. Of recorded taxa known from four or fewer bioregions, most are shared with the adjacent Carnarvon and Gascoyne bioregions rather than the adjoining internally draining deserts. Sixteen taxa of conservation signifi cance were documented, with claypans, the Fortescue Marsh, and Millstream and Karijini National Park sites dominating occurrences of rare species. Eight major groups were defi ned by classifying wetlands in terms of species presence/absence data. Floristic patterning was strongly aligned with the major wetland types (geomorphic/hydrological) used in the primary sampling stratifi cation. A combination of wetland morphology/hydrological setting, site edaphic attributes and distance to the coast were dominant variables related to riparian fl oristic composition.

(GBSDC) Version 16 | 16th July 2020 Duncan Heuer photo of the ex HMAS Adelaide ‘Full fathom five thy father lies Of his bones are coral made Those pearls were his eyes Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea change Into something rich and strange The Tempest, William Shakespeare SYDNEY DIVE WRECK BUSINESS CASE | GORDONS BAY SCUBA DIVING CLUB “Human beings have always been enchanted by the sea. This vision—to take an ex- Naval ship and give it a second life under the sea as a linked artificial reef and dive wreck—is a true act of transformation. Creating a new, world-class diving experience for Sydney is indeed about creating something “rich and strange”, so that those who love the sea, and everything in it, can truly experience what Shakespeare first called a sea change.” John Rowe, 2019. Samson Fish (Seriola hippos) Offshore Artificial Reef (O.A.R) Port Macquarie NSW Kingfish (Seriola ialandi) O.A.R Vaucluse NSW.
