    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. The list of families covered in ANHAT is shown in Appendix 1. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are are not not included included in the in the summary. • The data used for this summary come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

  • Conserving Migratory Species Under Human Impacts and Climate Change Hsien-Yung Lin Bsc, Msc

    Conserving Migratory Species Under Human Impacts and Climate Change Hsien-Yung Lin Bsc, Msc

    Conserving migratory species under human impacts and climate change Hsien-Yung Lin BSc, MSc A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Biological Sciences Abstract Migratory species use multiple habitats types and ecosystems to complete their life cycles, which exposes them to multiple human-caused stressors along their migratory routes. Overexploitation, habitat degradation, invasive species and connectivity loss have contributed to the decrease of migratory fishes globally in particular diadromous fishes that migrate between marine and freshwater systems. Therefore, understanding the joint impacts from anthropogenic disturbances and climate change on different habitats (e.g., both feeding and spawning grounds) and habitat connectivity (e.g., migration routes) is important for conserving migratory fish. Management will be most effective when management scales match ecological scales. This is particularly important for conserving migratory species, because of the requirement of multiple connected habitats that may cross local management boundaries. The main goals of this Ph.D. thesis are to quantify the impacts of multiple stressors on migratory fish species and prioritize management actions for conserving populations (chapters 2 & 3), species (chapter 4), and communities (chapter 5). A central challenge for managing diadromous fishes (species that migrate between freshwater and saltwater ecosystems) is to quantify increases in population persistence from actions that improve connectivity or reduce fishing mortality. In chapter 2, I used a population dynamic model and fish movement data to predict the interactive impacts of fishing pressure and connectivity loss by human modification of river flows on Australian bass Percalates novemaculeata. Then, in chapter 3, the monetary cost of management actions which included seasonal closures and restoring connectivity, were included in the model to find the most cost-effective way to conserve this fish population.

  • Environmental Review Report

    Environmental Review Report

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Environmental Review document is the first of a series which comprehensively describe Hydro operations and provide an overview of related aquatic environmental issues in each of its major catchments. This document fulfils some key commitments of the Hydro’s Aquatic Environmental Policy. It will also assist the general public in understanding Hydro operations and issues in the South Esk – Great Lake catchment, as the Hydro commences its Water Management Review in this catchment area. The South Esk Basin is the largest water catchment in Tasmania, making up almost 15% of Tasmania’s land mass. The Basin is comprised of the catchments of the South Esk, Macquarie and Meander Rivers. Water from the Great Lake catchment, which lies on Tasmania’s Central Plateau, is diverted into the South Esk Basin for the purposes of hydro-electric power generation. The Poatina Power Scheme utilises water from the Great Lake catchment, Arthurs Lake (originally in the upper Macquarie River sub-catchment), and diversions of the upper Ouse River, the upper Liffey River and Westons Rivulet – upper Brumbys Creek. It consists of three main storages (Great Lake, Arthurs Lake and Lake Augusta), two power stations (Poatina and Tods Corner) and other water diversion and transfer infrastructure. Also associated with the Poatina Power Scheme is another storage, Woods Lake, the primary function of which is to store water for irrigation. The Poatina Power Scheme diverts between 620 and 730 Mm3 per year of Great Lake water from the Derwent catchment, via Poatina Power Station, into the South Esk catchment. The Trevallyn Power Scheme utilises water from the entire South Esk catchment, harnessing the South Esk, Macquarie and Meander Rivers, and re-using water from the Great Lake catchment discharged from Poatina Power Station.
