The definition of wetlands accepted by the Committee is: "Wetlands are areas of seasonally, intermittently or permanently waterlogged soils or inundated land whether natural or otherwise, fresh or saline, eg, waterlogged soils, ponds, billabongs, lakes, swamps, tidal flats, estuaries, rivers and their tributaries". Over the past years, the Committee has been collecting relevant information on Western Australian rivers, swamps and lakes. It became clear that a great deal of information exists (much in unpublished form), and many on-going research projects on various aspects of wetlands are being undertaken. It was, therefore, decided that an inventory of this research, including a listing of departments or institutions involved, major personnel, the nature of the research project and the location, could assist in the co-ordination of the various investigations and would make information more accessible.

  • Birds of the Pilbara Region, Including Seas and Offshore Islands, Western Australia: Distribution, Status and Historical Changes
    Records of the Western Australian Museum, Supplement 78: 343–441 (2013). Birds of the Pilbara region, including seas and offshore islands, Western Australia: distribution, status and historical changes R.E. Johnstone1*, Allan H. Burbidge2 and J.C. Darnell1 1 Department of Terrestrial Zoology, Western Australian Museum, Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC, Western Australia 6986, Australia. 2 Department of Environment and Conservation, PO Box 51, Wanneroo, Western Australia 6946, Australia. * Corresponding author: email: [email protected] Abstract – The geographic range, status and breeding season are documented for 325 bird species known to occur in the Pilbara, Western Australia, since the first records were made in 1699. The fauna is a mixture of Torresian, Eyrean and Bassian components, along with a variety of seabirds, migratory wading birds and Asian vagrants. The region lies entirely within the arid zone and the overall harshness of the environment means that few species are resident. The richness of the total avifauna (resident and non-resident) is due mainly to the diversity of habitats, especially those on or near the coast. The region is an important refugial destination for a variety of Australian species and includes a range of endemic subspecies and colour morphs. The area from Eighty Mile Beach to Port Hedland saltworks is of international importance for shorebirds and, following cyclonic rains, Mandora Marsh and Fortescue Marsh are of continental importance for waterbirds. The 204 breeding species are mapped, and each species is assessed for possible changes in distribution or abundance since 1900. Keywords – Pilbara birds, ecological status, relative abundance, breeding, movements, taxonomy INTRODUCTION Cormorants, Gulls, Crab-catchers, &c a few small Land Birds, and a sort of white Parrots, which The Pilbara region of Western Australia (WA), flew a great many together’ (p.
