  • The Effects of Fire on Burrow-Nesting Seabirds Particularly Short-Tailed Shearwaters
    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 133(1), 1999 15 THE EFFECTS OF FIRE ON BURROW-NESTING SEABIRDS PARTICULARLY SHORT-TAILED SHEARWATERS (PUFF/NUS TENUIROSTR/5) AND THEIR HABITAT IN TASMANIA by Nigel Brothers and Stephen Harris (with three text-figures, four plates and an appendix) BROTHERS, N. & HARRJS, S., 1999 (31 :x): The effects of fire on burrow-nesting seabirds particularly short-tailed shearwaters (Puffinus tenuirostris) and their habitat in Tasmania. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 133(1 ): 15-22. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.133.1.15 ISSN 0080-4703. Parks and Wildlife Service, Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment, GPO Box 44A, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001. The synchronised breeding habit of many seabird species makes them particularly vulnerable to fires in the nesting area. Post-fire recolonisation and soil formation were studied on Albatross Island, and observations from island rookeries of shearwaters, fairy prions and fairy penguins in eastern Bass Strait and elsewhere were used with a view to understanding the long-term impact of fires on seabird colonies in Tasmania. Key Words: island vegetation, flora, Tasmania, fire, coast, rookeries, seabirds, soil depth, Puffinus tenuirostris, Bass Strait, habitat monitoring. INTRODUCTION and it is in such circumstances chat burrow-nesting seabirds are found in greatest abundance. Short-tailed shearwaters, Large populations of seabirds breed on islands around Puffinustenuirostris, are most abundant in chis habitat, Tasmania and it is on these islands chat wildfires frequencly with small numbers of liccle penguin, Eudyptes minor, occur, moscly through vandalism, sometimes by accident. scattered throughout.

  • This Keyword List Contains Pacific Ocean Great Barrier Reef Place Names of Coral Reefs, Islands, Bays and Other Geographic Features in a Hierarchical Structure
    CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Country/Territory - 1/30/2013 Pacific Ocean Great Barrier Reef This keyword list contains Pacific Ocean Great Barrier Reef place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. For example, the first name on the list - Anchorsmith Island Reef - is part of Queensland in Australia. The leading label - COUNTRY/TERRITORY - indicates that place names are preceded by their country or territory. The list is sorted alphabetically. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Ocean - Pacific Ocean / Great Barrier Reef” but in a hierarchy of ocean, seas and region name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. For example, the first place name “Anchorsmith Island Reef” has a unique identifier of “20S149E0076”. From that we see that Anchorsmith Island Reef is located at 20 degrees south (S) and 149 degrees east (E). It is place number 0076 at that latitude and longitude. This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase.

With respect to the Public Reserve, the management plan has been prepared in accordance with the Crown Land Act 1976. For the remaining islands unallocated crown land islands, this management plan will be used as a policy guide by the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment. Unless otherwise specified, this plan adopts the interpretation of terms given in Section 3 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1970. The term ‘Minister’ when used in the plan means the Minister administering the Act. In accordance with Section 23 (2) of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1970, the managing authority for the reserves, in this case the Director of National Parks and Wildlife, shall carry out his or her duties in relation to the islands for the purpose of giving effect to, and in accordance with, the provisions of, this management plan.
