On one day, Friday 4th April 2003, a series of detailed hydrodynamic, environmental and ecological measurements was conducted in the estuarine zone by more than 60 people. The purpose of the field works was to assess the complexity of a small estuarine system, the interactions between hydraulic engineering, biology and ecology, and to provide some assessment of the estuarine system that was heavily polluted four to five years ago. Field work was conducted from a low tide to the next low tide : i.e., between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm.

    Final Report Ornate Rainbowfish, Rhadinocentrus Ornatus, Project

    Final Report Ornate Rainbowfish, Rhadinocentrus ornatus, project. (Save the Sunfish, Grant ID: 19393) by Simon Baltais Wildlife Preservation Society of QLD Bayside Branch (QLD) inc. (Version: Saturday, 25 June 2011) 1 1. Introduction 1.1 Background The Rhadinocentrus ornatus (Ornate Sunfish, soft spined sunfish, or Ornate Rainbowfish) is a freshwater rainbowfish from the Family Melanotaeniidae. This Melanotaeniidae family of fish is only found in Australia and New Guinea. It’s a small, mainly insectivorous species, the largest individuals reaching a maximum length of approximately 80mm (Warburton and Chapman, 2007). The Rhadinocentrus ornatus (R. ornatus) is said to be a small, obligate freshwater fish species restricted to the coastal wallum habitat of eastern Australia (Hancox et al, 2010), where waters are slow flowing and acidic, and submerged and emergent vegetation is plentiful (Warburton and Chapman, 2007). However, Wildlife Queensland has found this species utilising other habitat types, such as gallery rainforest along Tingalpa Creek West Mt Cotton, a finding supported by BCC (2010). Good populations of R.ornatus were particularly found in clear slow – medium flowing streams supporting no aquatic or emergent vegetation located within gallery rainforest. The species was particularly common in 12.3.1 Gallery rainforest (notophyll vine forest) on alluvial plains (Endangered) within a landscape comprised of 12.11.5 Open forest complex with Corymbia citriodora, Eucalyptus siderophloia, E. major on metamorphics ± interbedded volcanics
  • 2015 WQ Coastal Citizen Science Summary

    2015 WQ Coastal Citizen Science Summary

    Contents Introduction & Background Events & Partnerships Monitoring Achievements, Activities, Aims Acknowledgements 2 Introduction Why do we monitor? Seagrasses and mangroves are indicators of aquatic health and early indicators of change, so much so they’ve been dubbed ‘coastal canaries’. They are Introduction & coastal kidneys - trapping sediment and nutrients from the land which are Background harmful to the marine ecology. Mangroves reduce the erosive and potentially catastrophic effects of storm surges and tsunamis, doing so cheaper and better than man-made structures. And, mangroves and seagrasses sequester carbon - they have the ability to store carbon far more effectively than terrestrial forests. As a seafood-loving country we should know that over 70% of the fish, crabs and prawns we eat are reliant on mangroves and seagrasses during some stage of their life cycle. These ‘coastal canaries’ are habitat for large numbers of other species – biodiversity that have an intrinsic right to exist. Background Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland’s Coastal Citizen Science (WQCCS) coordinates MangroveWatch (MW) and SeagrassWatch (SGW) in and around Moreton Bay, its rivers and creeks. These scientifically rigourous programs were devised by scientists from James Cook University and are conducted globally. Citizen science is broadly defined as the involvement of volunteers in the collection of data for scientific purposes. Teaming volunteers with the scientific community in this way provides important data that would not otherwise be available. Training provided by the scientists and ongoing quality assessment of the data collected ensures the validity of the data for scientific assessment. The data can then be used by natural resource managers and other decision-makers to guide investment and to undertake preventative measures and restorative actions.

Supporting Document no. 7 for the 2014 Update of the SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan. Note regards State Government Planning Policy: The Queensland Government is currently undertaking a review of the SEQ Regional Plan 2009. Whilst this review has yet to be finalised, the government has made it clear that the “new generation” statutory regional plans focus on the particular State Planning Policy issues that require a regionally-specific policy direction for each region. This quite focused approach to statutory regional plans compares to the broader content in previous (and the current) SEQ Regional Plan. The SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan has therefore been prepared to be consistent with the State Planning Policy.
