The article (Vol 2, Issue 8) is an historical Role of the MPRSAC account of changes in fish populations at Rottnest Island over The Marine Parks and Reserves Scientific Advisory the past 40-50 years. According to Hugh many of the large Committee (MPRSAC) is a statutory committee appointed 'resident' fish species that were abundant in the 50s and 60s by the Minister for the Environment and Heritage.

This Proposal outlines key elements required for the construction and operation of the facility. Following amendments toe th Iron Ore Processing (Mineralogy Pty Ltd) Agreement Act 2002 (IOPAA) in 2008, an area of land to the east of Cape Preston was set aside by the State Government for the purposes of port development (C Barnett, Hansard 4 December 2008). This area has been selected by IOH as the preferred location for development of iron ore export facilities. The location is known as Cape Preston East (CPE) (Figure E1). IOH proposes to be the foundation proponent to develop the initial iron ore export facilities at CPE. The scope of the Proposal covers the export facilities which are defined as the infrastructure to the north of the North West Coastal Highway required for iron ore export. The mining and haulage of ore has been submitted as a separate proposal for EPA assessment to facilitate the likely transfer of proponency to the Dampier Port Authority (DPA) upon completion of construction of the Proposal.

Cross-shelf marine systems exhibit pronounced and persistent gradients in environmental conditions; however, these gradients are not always reliable predictors of coral distribution or the degree of stress that corals are experiencing. This study used information from government, industry and scientific datasets spanning 1980–2017, to explore temporal trends in coral cover in the geographically complex system of the Dampier Archipelago, northwest Australia.

Our oceans play a massive role in Australian life – they provide us with fish to eat, a place to fish, business and tourism opportunities and a place for families to enjoy. Australians know, better than anyone, how important it is that our oceans remain healthy and sustainable. Right now, our iconic marine environment is coming under more and more pressure from industry, from pollution and, increasingly, from climate change. That is why the Australian Government has committed to creating a network of Commonwealth marine reserves around the country.

  • Dampier Archipelago/ Cape Preston
    Dampier Archipelago/ Cape Preston Regional Perspective 2000 Sue Osborne, Kevin Bancroft, Nick D’Adamo and Lauren Monks Marine Conservation Branch Department of Conservation and Land Management 47 Henry Street Fremantle Western Australia 6160 SUMMARY The Western Australian Government is committed to the establishment of a statewide system of multiple-use marine conservation reserves under the Conservation and Land Management (CALM) Act 1984. These reserves will both protect the diverse and valuable natural and cultural heritage values of our coastal environment and provide a framework for sustainable management of commercial and recreational activities. One of the areas that has been identified for further consideration as a marine conservation reserve is the Dampier Archipelago to Cape Preston region. The Dampier Archipelago to Cape Preston region is located in the warm, near-shore waters of the Pilbara coast. Physical environments within the region encompass a cross section of sheltered conditions with turbid waters and fine sediments adjacent to the mainland coast, to exposed conditions and clear waters around the offshore islands and reefs. Because of this diversity of habitats, the area supports many natural communities including mangroves, algal meadows, sandy beaches, submerged soft sediment communities, coral reefs, diverse invertebrate communities, rocky shores and rocky reefs. The area is characterised by a high diversity and abundance of marine plants and animals. The region provides habitat and nesting sites for marine turtles and is of particular importance to hawksbill turtles. The Western Australian population of hawksbill turtles is the only large population of hawksbills remaining in the entire Indian Ocean and Rosemary Island in the Dampier Archipelago is by far their largest rookery in the State.
