The area of the LCF includes freshwater, estuarine and marine waters of the lower Murray River lakes (Lake Alexandrina and Lake Albert), the Coorong lagoons and the coastal marine waters adjacent to the Sir Richard and Younghusband Peninsulas, to three nautical miles from the low water mark. The LCF does not operate in Commonwealth waters. The assessment report contains assessments of 4 of the seven key species fished according (Department of Env. and Heritage 2005), which are: Goolwa cockles (Donax deltoides); mulloway (Argyrosomus japonicus); yellow-eye mullet (Aldrichetta forsteri); and golden perch (Macquaria ambigua). European carp (Cyrpinus carpio), black bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri), and greenback flounder (Rhombosolea taparina) are also fished in the Lakes and Coorong fishery, and the principle bycatch species are bony bream (Nematolosa erebi) and yabbies (Cherax destructor). The stocks of all four species were addressed individually for this assessment and make up the certification units for the assessment. Management of the fishery is undertaken by The Minister for Agriculture, Food, and Fisheries with advice or input from several sources: PIRSA (Department of Primary Industries and Resources South Australia), Inland Fisheries Management Committee, SAFIC South Australian Fishing Industry Council) , SARDI (South Australia Research and Development Institute), SFA (Southern Fishermen’s Association). The assessment was carried out by the Certification Body Scientific Certification Systems, Inc. using a four person assessment team comprised of Dr. Chet Chaffee as the Lead assessor having participated in numerous MSC assessments and pre assessments; Dr. Norm Hall (Murdoch University) has international expertise in fisheries stock assessment and management; Dr. Trevor Ward (University of Western Australia) has extensive experience in assessing the ecological functions of marine ecosystem, as well as the impacts on these ecosystems from activities such as fishing; and Noel Taylor-Moore (independent consultant) with extensive experience in marine resource management, including fisheries. The assessment followed set procedures as described in the MSC Fishery Certification Methodology Version 5. Key stages of the assessment were: Notification of confirmation of assessment; Confirmation of Assessment Team; Consultation on draft Performance Indicators and Scoring Guideposts; Release of final Performance Indicators and Scoring Guideposts; Notification of assessment visit and call for meeting requests; Call for Stakeholder input; Assessment visit; Notification of Proposed Peer Reviewers; Notification of Draft Report; and Notification of Final Report. Following the initial stage of wider stakeholder review, the report, containing the recommendation of the assessment team, any further stakeholder comments and the peer review comments has been considered by the SCS Certification Review Board (a body independent of the assessment team). The complete report, containing the final determination and all amendments, is contained herein for final posting. Significant strengths of the fishery in relation to the MSC standard, derive from the intrinsically small nature of the fishery. The Lakes and Coorong fishery has a limited number of participants, making control and implementation of management measures more practical. The fishers, many of which belong to the Southern Fishermen’s Association, are significantly engaged in assisting the authorities manage the fishery through support for research to practical advice on updating management. The main weakness of the fishery also results from the fact that it is a small fishery. The fishery LAKES AND COORONG FUISHERY ASSESSMENT 4 FINAL REPORT receives limited funds to gather better scientific information and perform regular and formal stock assessments. As a result, a number of proxies are used to manage the fishery rather than formal stock assessments and biological reference points based on stock assessments. While this has worked to maintain each of the species within reasonable limits, a couple of the species now exploited show signs of being fully exploited and in need a more regular stock assessment to ensure their long term viability. Each of the four species considered in this assessment report received at a minimum a weighted average score of 80 against each of the MSC Principles and did not score less than 60 against any Performance Indicators. It is therefore determined that the four species assessed should be certified according to the Marine Stewardship Council Principles and Criteria for Sustainable Fisheries. As required, the client for the fishery must agree

  • Heritage and Geology
    Conservation Themes – Heritage 3.3 Heritage Indigenous and non-Indigenous heritage sites have been used in the process of assessing conservation priority within the Limestone Coast and Coorong region. Aboriginal heritage sites have been buffered and so only generalised location is shown for these. 3.3.1 Non-Indigenous Heritage There are a number of non-Indigenous heritage registers currently in use in Australia: World Heritage, National Heritage, Commonwealth Heritage, Register of the National Estate (RNE), State Heritage and Local Heritage. These are discussed in more detail in Appendix 13. There are no places recorded in the World or National heritage registers within the SE coastal boundary. All non-Indigenous heritage sites with legislated heritage protection in South Australia are recorded in the South Australian Heritage Register Database (SAHRDB). This includes places of State significance as well as other categories of heritage places in South Australia including World, National, Commonwealth and local and contributory places. Other places of heritage significance, which were identified in regional heritage surveys commissioned by the Heritage Branch of DENR, are also included in this database. Cultural heritage places that are protected by legislation (World, National, Commonwealth, State, Local and Shipwrecks) are generally deemed to have significance according to specific criteria and so have values that should be protected and conserved. The majority of coastal townships in the South East were established because of their connection with the sea, providing a service centre and link between the farming (or mining) activities nearby and the ships which provided transport to other parts of the state, Australia or the world.

To the best of my knowledge, it also does not contain any material previously published or written by another person except where reference is made in the document. Martim Almeida Braga Moulton. June, 2019. ii Co-authorship Martim Almeida Braga Moulton is the primary author of all chapters in this thesis. Co-authors listed on chapters 2 to 4 provided intellectual supervision, editorial support and field support. iii Thesis acknowledgements I would like to express my deep gratitude to Professor Patrick Hesp and Dr. Graziela Miot da Silva, my research supervisors in Australia, not only for their patient guidance and useful critiques, but also for their friendship. Their warm welcome made me feel like Adelaide and Flinders University were my second home, and definitely my learning curve in these two years with them in Australia was critical for my academic career. My grateful thanks to Flinders University for offering me the resources needed for the research and all the Flinders University staff that helped me along these years, especially Mr. Robert Keane for his help with the GIS analysis and his support on field.
