Context Statement for the Gloucester Subregion, PDF, 11.22 MB
Context statement for the Gloucester subregion Product 1.1 from the Northern Sydney Basin Bioregional Assessment 28 May 2014 A scientific collaboration between the Department of the Environment, Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO and Geoscience Australia The Bioregional Assessment Programme The Bioregional Assessment Programme is a transparent and accessible programme of baseline assessments that increase the available science for decision making associated with coal seam gas and large coal mines. A bioregional assessment is a scientific analysis of the ecology, hydrology, geology and hydrogeology of a bioregion with explicit assessment of the potential direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of coal seam gas and large coal mining development on water resources. This Programme draws on the best available scientific information and knowledge from many sources, including government, industry and regional communities, to produce bioregional assessments that are independent, scientifically robust, and relevant and meaningful at a regional scale. The Programme is funded by the Australian Government Department of the Environment. The Department of the Environment, Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO and Geoscience Australia are collaborating to undertake bioregional assessments. For more information, visit <www.bioregionalassessments.gov.au>. Department of the Environment The Office of Water Science, within the Australian Government Department of the Environment, is strengthening the regulation of coal seam gas and large coal mining development by ensuring that future decisions are informed by substantially improved science and independent expert advice about the potential water related impacts of those developments. For more information, visit <www.environment.gov.au/coal-seam-gas-mining/>. Bureau of Meteorology The Bureau of Meteorology is Australia’s national weather, climate and water agency. -
Give Fish a Chance in the Port Stephens – Great Lakes Marine Park
Give Fish a Chance in the Port Stephens – Great Lakes Marine Park The Give Fish a Chance campaign is designed to promote the need for a comprehensive, adequate and representative system of marine sanctuaries in the Port Stephens – Great Lakes Marine Park. This will require up to half of all key marine habitats and all Grey Nurse Shark key habitats to be protected in marine sanctuaries. You can support this campaign by making a submission to the Port Stephens – Great Lakes Marine Park draft zoning plan. The Marine Park Authority is asking for comments on the draft zoning plan before 23rd September 2006. We encourage you to ask the NSW Government to Give Fish a Chance by supporting additional sanctuary zones by filling in the submission form attached. A key requirement of marine parks is to protect marine wildlife yet some of the areas with the highest biodiversity have only been partly protected. For example, large areas of seagrass meadows, vital to protect juvenile fish, in the Myall River remain inadequately protected. For the marine park to protect fish so they can breed, feed and recover in numbers, it needs to provide marine sanctuaries for up to half of each habitat type, including rocky reefs, islands, seagrass and sand. Snapper Island and Boondaba Island in Port Stephens, for example, are areas that deserve to be fully protected. Perhaps most importantly, many of the critically endangered Grey Nurse Shark key habitat areas receive only partial protection. Latitude Rock near Forster, Edith Breakers at Seal Rocks and Little Broughton Island near Port Stephens will receive insufficient protection if the current zoning plan goes ahead. -
