  • Yorke Peninsula
    A SURVEY OF THE WESTERN BLUE GROPER ON SOUTHERN YORKE PENINSULA By Scoresby A. Shepherd and James B. Brook Reefwatch, c/o Conservation Council of South Australia, 120 Wakefield St, Adelaide, 5000. 24 January 2003 Photo: Adrian Brown 1 A SURVEY OF THE WESTERN BLUE GROPER ON SOUTHERN YORKE PENINSULA, SOUTH AUSTRALIA by Scoresby A. Shepherd 1 and James B. Brook2 1Senior Research Fellow, South Australian Research and Development Institute, PO Box 120 Henley Beach. 5022. Email address: [email protected] 2PO Box 111 Normanville, SA. 5204. Email address: [email protected] SUMMARY Thirteen sites on southern Yorke Peninsula were surveyed in order to estimate the abundance of the western blue groper, Achoerodus gouldii. Juveniles (<20 cm) were sporadically common at shallow, moderately sheltered sites in creviced rocky areas. Sub-adults (20-60 cm) occurred at depths of 2-6 m and their abundance was correlated with that of juveniles, suggesting local recruitment of juveniles to adjacent reefs. Sub-adults > 30 cm were rare and adults (> 60 cm) even rarer. Anecdotal evidence from the 1960s to the 1980s was that adult groper were once common off headlands of SW Yorke Pen. Using the mean size of adult blue-throated wrasse as an index of fishing intensity, we found a correlation between this index and the mean size of sub-adults. The correlation implies that, despite formal protection of the blue groper, fishing mortality may be a contributing factor to the rarity of sub-adults in in-shore waters. Measures such as no-take reserves would give better protection to this species on open coasts.

  • 15.2 Sand Islands and Shoals
    15 Islands 15.2 Sand Islands and Shoals Figure 15.1: (A) Aerial view of Troubridge Island and surrounding Troubridge Shoals: (c) Coastal Protection Branch, DEWNR. (B). Troubridge Island: (c) W. Bonham, Lighthouses of Australia. Asset Sand Islands and Shoals Description A crest of sand which rises above water level from a broad marine sand bank, forming an unstable sand island - Troubridge Island - which changes shape and size over time. The island is about 5m high at high tide, and about 2 hectares in area when inundated, but considerable larger at low tide. The island is surrounded by shallow sand embankments (Troubridge Shoals). Examples of Key Little Penguin, Black-faced Cormorant, Crested Tern and other breeding sea Species birds (numerous species) migratory wading birds (numerous species) abundant sand-dwelling invertebrates - food sources for fish and wading birds Pink Snapper King George whiting and school whiting syngnathid fishes (e.g. seahorses, pipefishes) sponges (forming “sponge gardens”, on consolidated sand) cowries; volutes and other specimen shells Knobby Argonaut (‘paper nautilus’ octopus) giant spider crab southern calamari Main Location Troubridge Island (and shallow sandbanks to the west - Troubridge Shoals) Notes Troubridge Island Conservation Park (approx. 260 hectares) was declared in 1982, and extended in 1986, partly to protect major breeding colonies of several seabird species, and provide protection for an important feeding ground used by migratory wading birds, listed under international treaties. Oceanography At the bottom of Gulf St Vincent, off the eastern “heel” of Yorke Peninsula, waters less than 20m occur up to 10km from shore. The oceanographic conditions have led to a long-term build-up of sand in some areas, including the creation of Troubridge Island, a sand island about 7km east of Sultana Point.

Impacts of implementing the draft management plans were assessed against a base case scenario of no management plans. The base case is not static, and requires an understanding of the existing trends in natural resource, economic and social conditions. There are external factors which influence both the ‘with management plan’ and the base case scenarios that were taken into consideration. Marine Park Profile The eastern coastline of the park is dominated by limestone cliff slopes and includes mostly sheltered, low rocky shores, bays and some sandy beaches. Linked offshore are large areas of low profile platform reef interspersed with sandy seafloor and seagrass. Particular features include the high current shoal grounds adjacent to Edithburgh, and the unique mobile sand spit of Troubridge Island. The southern coast bays contain large areas of seagrass scattered with sandy seafloor patches.

Hear how to pronounce this park name Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park is a favourite for camping, fishing and surfing. Bushwalking is a great way to discover the park, with trails ranging from 30-minute strolls to four-hour treks. You’ll spot an abundance of birds and animals while you catch some of the best coastal views in South Australia. All of the park is accessible by 2WD, so it’s perfect for day visits and a paradise for beach lovers. There is something for everyone at Innes. Visit one of the lighthouses and the shipwreck of the Ethel to learn about the tumultuous maritime history of South Australia. Explore historic Inneston, an abandoned township surrounded by bushland. Take a stroll from your campsite down to the beach for a spot of fishing, or base yourself in one of the restored heritage cottages dotted throughout historic Inneston. Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park (https://www.parks.sa.gov.au/parks/southern-spencer-gulf-marine-park) borders Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park. In late 2020, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the proclamation of Innes National Park and the start of a new chapter with the commencement of a co-management agreement with the Narungga traditional owners. In recognition of this milestone, the park was renamed to Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park. As part of the South Australian Government’s Parks 2025 initiative (https://www.parks.sa.gov.au/park- management/improving-sa-national-parks), a number of visitor facilities will be upgrades at three of the park’s most popular sites – Chinaman’s Hill, Stenhouse Bay and Shell Beach.
