    ; 97 IHE FREiNCH IN VAN DIEMEN'S LAND, AND THE FIRST SETTLEMENT AT THE DERWENT. BY JAMES B. WALKER. Prefatory Note. As the subject of the present Paper may appear to be scarcely within the scope of the objects of the Royal Society, it seems proper to state briefly the occasion of its being written and submitted to the consideration of the Fellows. Some two years ago, the Tasmanian Government—of which the Hon. James Wilson Agnew, Honorary Secretary of the Royal Society, was Premier—following the good example set by the Governments of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, and Now Zealand, directed search to be made iu the English State Record Office for papers relating to the settlement and early history of this Colony. The idea originated in a suggestion from Mr. James Bonwick, F.R.G.S., the well-known writer on the Tasmanian Aborigines, who had been employed for years on similar work for various Colonial Governments, and to him the task was entrusted by Dr. Agnew. Mr. Bonwick searched, not only the Record Office, but the papers of the Admiralty, the Foreign Office, the Privy Council, and the British Museuni, and discovered and co|)ied a large mass of docunu'nts rohiting to the oarly days of Tasmania. in the early jiart of this year, these coj)ics, extending over some (J4() foolscap pages, were received in Ilobart, and the ))resent Premier —the Hon. Philip Oakley Fysh—obligingly allowed me to jioruse them. I found them to be of great interest.

    Stevenson & Woehler: Little Penguins in southeastern Tasmania 71 POPULATION DECREASES IN LITTLE PENGUINS EUDYPTULA MINOR IN SOUTHEASTERN TASMANIA, AUSTRALIA, OVER THE PAST 45 YEARS CARYN STEVENSON & ERIC J. WOEHLER School of Zoology, University of Tasmania, Private Box 05, Hobart, Tasmania ([email protected]) Received 25 March 2006, accepted 4 April 2007 SUMMARY STEVENSON, C. & WOEHLER, E.J. 2007. Population decreases in Little Penguins Eudyptula minor in southeastern Tasmania, Australia, over the past 45 years. Marine Ornithology 35: 71–76. We investigated the distribution and abundance of Little Penguins Eudyptula minor at 12 known colony locations on mainland southeastern Tasmania, Australia. Surveys of scientific journals, unpublished field surveys and oral records were compiled to assess the historical distribution (before 1996) of this species within a 150-km radius of Hobart. Current status of each site was assessed by conducting surveys of the areas of historical distribution during the 2002/03 breeding season. Transects were used to conduct burrow counts, supplemented by counts of penguins coming ashore at night. Of the 12 colonies examined, four have disappeared and two have decreased appreciably in size within the last decade. Potential causes of these decreases include predation by introduced vertebrates, habitat modification and destruction and incidental drowning in recreational gillnets. Key words: Little Penguin, Eudyptula minor, population decrease, predation, human impacts INTRODUCTION the extent of suitable habitat. Housing and commercial industries are rapidly expanding into many coastal areas, resulting in the destruction Only one penguin species, the Little Penguin Eudyptula minor, or alteration of current and potential breeding habitats (Dann 1994). breeds on the Australian mainland.

  • Huon Aquaculture Company Trumpeter EIS Storm Bay MFDP
    Huon Aquaculture Company Trumpeter EIS Storm Bay MFDP Appendix K Stakeholder Consultation Document Dear Bruny Island resident, Huon Aquaculture intends to begin farming within our currently unused lease site on the east side of Bruny Island in Trumpeter Bay soon. Until now, we have been unable to farm the lease as we have not had the infrastructure to safely farm in Storm Bay. As a result of significant innovation and investment we are now in a position to commence farming at the site safely. Our plan is to place five pens on the existing lease in Trumpeter Bay in September this year. This will in effect be a “mini-lease” which will allow us to undertake rigorous monitoring and testing of our infrastructure and systems in a production setting. We will also be applying to the Tasmanian Government shortly to split the existing lease into four smaller leases and move them further out from shore. Our company is in the process of revolutionising the way we farm fish with sustainability at the core of everything we do. Included in this letter is a brochure on our future vision as well as information regarding our operations around Bruny Island. Your views are important to us and we welcome your feedback. Please contact me on 6295 8139 or at [email protected] if you have further questions or would like additional information. More information on our operations can be found on our website, www.huonaqua.com.au and our Sustainability Dashboard, www.dashboard.huonaqua.com.au. Sincere regards, Jane Gallichan Corporate Affairs Manager, Huon Aquaculture THE FUTURE OF FISH FARMING We are 100 per cent committed to investing in our business and the communities we are part of to achieve our aims.

Executive Summary This document reports first year progress made in “Linking models and sensor networks” project. The project aims at the development of operational models for South-East Tasmanian region integrating across hydrodynamics, sediment transport and biogeochemistry, and assimilating data from sensor networks and other sources. This fist year of the project targeted three key areas (1) the development of operational hydrodynamic models (2) testing and evaluating transport models and (3) field work involving trial deployment of gliders and evaluation of the nitrate sensor. The data assimilation work and the development of pilot biogeochemical model are planned to commence in the second year of the project. Operational Hydrodynamic model The success of operational modelling requires near-real time access to the data streams to force and validate models. This includes global model products, atmospheric products, river flows and assimilation-data to test and improve numerical algorithms.

Bryant and Stephen Harris (with one text-figure, two tables, eight plates and two appendices) Bryant, S.L. & Harris, S. 2020 (9:xii): Overview of Tasmania’s offshore islands and their role in nature conservation.Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 154: 83–106. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.154.83 ISSN: 0080–4703. Tasmanian Land Conservancy, PO Box 2112, Lower Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7005, Australia (SLB*); Department of Archaeology and Natural History, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601 (SH). *Author for correspondence: Email: [email protected] Since the 1970s, knowledge of Tasmania’s offshore islands has expanded greatly due to an increase in systematic and regional surveys, the continuation of several long-term monitoring programs and the improved delivery of pest management and translocation programs. However, many islands remain data-poor especially for invertebrate fauna, and non-vascular flora, and information sources are dispersed across numerous platforms. While more than 90% of Tasmania’s offshore islands are statutory reserves, many are impacted by a range of disturbances, particularly invasive species with no decision-making framework in place to prioritise their management. This paper synthesises the significant contribution offshore islands make to Tasmania’s land-based natural assets and identifies gaps and deficiencies hampering their protection. A continuing focus on detailed gap-filling surveys aided by partnership restoration programs and collaborative national forums must be strengthened if we are to capitalise on the conservation benefits islands provide in the face of rapidly changing environmental conditions and pressure for future use.
