Sustainability of Trail It is fundamentally important that recreational trails are socially, economically and environmen- tally sustainable (Trails SA Sustainable Recreational Trails). Much of the remnant native vegetation on Yorke Peninsula is located along the coastline, therefore effort has been made during the design and location of the leisure trail to protect what vegetation remains and to identify opportunities to reduce the multiple number of informal tracks, therefore keeping visitors to one Map of Yorke Peninsula showing the proposed trail designated area. This opens up opportunities to restore vegetation to those informal tracks identified for closure and increase the overall biodiversity of the region. Concept An increasing body of evidence highlights the economic benefits that well developed trails can bring to the community/region through increased tourism. It is also recognised that the development of recrea- Currently there are approximately 60 km of coastal trails constructed and signposted on the Yorke Penin- tional trails need to take into account the sensitivities and desires of the local community.

    A SURVEY OF THE WESTERN BLUE GROPER ON SOUTHERN YORKE PENINSULA By Scoresby A. Shepherd and James B. Brook Reefwatch, c/o Conservation Council of South Australia, 120 Wakefield St, Adelaide, 5000. 24 January 2003 Photo: Adrian Brown 1 A SURVEY OF THE WESTERN BLUE GROPER ON SOUTHERN YORKE PENINSULA, SOUTH AUSTRALIA by Scoresby A. Shepherd 1 and James B. Brook2 1Senior Research Fellow, South Australian Research and Development Institute, PO Box 120 Henley Beach. 5022. Email address: [email protected] 2PO Box 111 Normanville, SA. 5204. Email address: [email protected] SUMMARY Thirteen sites on southern Yorke Peninsula were surveyed in order to estimate the abundance of the western blue groper, Achoerodus gouldii. Juveniles (<20 cm) were sporadically common at shallow, moderately sheltered sites in creviced rocky areas. Sub-adults (20-60 cm) occurred at depths of 2-6 m and their abundance was correlated with that of juveniles, suggesting local recruitment of juveniles to adjacent reefs. Sub-adults > 30 cm were rare and adults (> 60 cm) even rarer. Anecdotal evidence from the 1960s to the 1980s was that adult groper were once common off headlands of SW Yorke Pen. Using the mean size of adult blue-throated wrasse as an index of fishing intensity, we found a correlation between this index and the mean size of sub-adults. The correlation implies that, despite formal protection of the blue groper, fishing mortality may be a contributing factor to the rarity of sub-adults in in-shore waters. Measures such as no-take reserves would give better protection to this species on open coasts.

Brown Figure 6.1: Saltmarsh with samphire, in NY NRM Region. (A) Point Davenport; (B) Winninowie Conservation Park. Photos (c) A. Brown. (B): (c) Google Earth. Asset Saltmarsh and Samphire Description Areas of saline, mineral-rich, organic-rich, and low oxygen coastal soils within and above high tide level, often fronted by mangroves, and backed by saltbush shrubland. Saltmarsh supports various salt-tolerant plants, with samphires being the most common and significant in terms of cover in South Australia. There are distinct assemblages of salt-tolerant invertebrates associated with saltmarsh habitats. Saltmarshes provide habitat for fishes, including juveniles of species which utilise other marine habitats, and are an important feeding area for various bird species, including migratory shore birds. Examples of Birds Main Species Cormorant species (e.g.; Pied, Little Pied, and Black-faced) Caspian Tern and Little Tern Pied Oystercatcher and Sooty Oystercatcher Black-winged Stilt, Banded Stilt, Great Egret, White-faced Heron, Little Egret the threatened species Hooded Plover Little Stint Red-capped Plover Slender-billed Thornbill (Samphire Thornbill) Rock Parrot The raptors Eastern Osprey and White-bellied Sea Eagle Migratory shorebirds listed under international treaties, such as Bar-tailed Godwit, Curlew Sandpiper and Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, Red-necked Stint, Grey Plover , Red Knot, Common Greenshank, Ruddy Turnstones Bony Fishes juvenile Yelloweye Mullet juvenile Greenback Flounder juvenile Southern Blue-spotted Flathead Western Striped Grunter Congolli Glass Goby Small-mouthed Hardyhead Silver Fish Smooth Toadfish Goby species such as Blue-spotted Goby and Southern Longfin Goby Adelaide Weedfish Baker, J.

Report for Natural Resources - Northern and Yorke / NY NRM Board, South Australia. 16. Jetties, Shipwrecks and Other Artificial Reefs Edithburgh Kleins Point © D. Kinasz © J. Zhang Asset Jetties, Shipwrecks and other Artificial Reefs Description Structures of wood, iron, steel, and other materials, throughout the NY NRM region, ranging from oceanographically exposed through to sheltered locations. Jetties and shipwrecks function as surfaces for attachment of marine plants and attached invertebrates; sheltering and feeding areas for fishes, sharks, rays and invertebrates; and as “fish-attracting” devices, periodically visited by schooling fishes which are attracted to vertical structure. Surrounding sea floor varies according to the location of the jetty or wreck, and includes reef, seagrass, sand, and rubble. There are also two purpose-built artificial reefs in the NY NRM region, constructed of tetrahedon module units, made up vehicle tyres. Main Species Sponges sponges (numerous species, in genera Dysidea, Euryspongia, Darwinella, Aplysilla, Dendrilla, Clathrina and many others) Ascidians / Sea Squirts Red-mouthed Ascidian, Obese Ascidian, and other solitary ascidians / sea squirts Brain Ascidian, and other colonial ascidians Spongy Compound, Leach’s Compound & other compound ascidians Corals gorgonian corals such as Mopsella zimmeri (on current-exposed jetties) soft corals, such as Carijoa (also Drifa sp. on current-exposed jetties) solitary coral Scolymia Bryozoans various species, including various species in Cellaporaria (such as Orange Plate Bryozoan and Nipple Bryozoan) and species in Triphyllozoon (Lace Bryozoans) Gastropod Shells Cowries, Cartrut shell, Triton shells Bivalve Shells Doughboy Scallop, Razorfish Shell, juvenile Native Oyster Jetties, shipwrecks and other artificial reefs.

Vincent N Stansbury E Warooka C Yorketown T I in the DIOCESE OF WILLOCHRA O N So they went out and proclaimed that all should After Pentecost, repent. Mark 6:12 (NRSV) 2018 ..........from Henry For many people humility doesn’t register on their list of personal goals. It’s assumed that being humble means being willing to be stepped on. Who needs that? Jesus shows us the ultimate example of humility. God’s Word tells us, “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant” (Philippians 2:5–7). Jesus demonstrated the greatest humility of all. Though eternally with the Father, He chose to bend beneath a cross in love so that through His death He might lift any who receive Him into the joy of His presence. We imitate Jesus’s humility when we seek to serve our heavenly Father by serving others. Jesus’s kindness helps us catch a breathtaking glimpse of the beauty of setting ourselves aside to attend to others’ needs. Aiming for humility isn’t easy in our “me first” world. But as we rest securely in our Saviour’s love, He will give us everything we need to follow Him. Henry Ivey, Locum Ministry District Priest PS – Henry & Jenny’s last Sunday in LYP with be 30 th Sept.
