7.3.17. Barkers Inlet

Cell Detail Cell MA17 extends from the bridge to at Port (City of and Enfield) to St Kilda channel (City of Salisbury). The cell is approximately 2,551.8 hectares in area.

Landforms Cell MA17 includes the low energy shore of the eastern and southern side of the Angus and Barker Inlets. Extensive intertidal sand and together with stands of the Grey , are protected from Gulf waves by Torrens Island and Section Banks. Landwards of the , extensive areas of cyanobacterial mats overlaying intertidal muds with samphire extend to the limit of the highest . However, the tidal boundaries separating these zones are migrating because of the combined impacts of ongoing and accelerating sea level rise, sediment accumulation, and local land subsidence. Regionally sea level is rising currently at 3 to 4 mm/yr, while in the immediate vicinity of Port Adelaide land subsidence due to local dewatering of shallow sediments by the reclamation of land using seawalls has lead to a cone of subsidence (Fitzpatrick et al. 2008).

The / is described by Gillanders et al. (2008, p.188) as a dominated, tidal flat estuary, with a catchment of 229 km2, it is described as extensively modified, due to its port function, and as receptor for and extensive area of urban stormwater drainage.

Benthic Habitat Dense seagrass beds fringe the mangrove forest dominated shoreline. There is a narrow band of bare sand on tidal flats and further bare sand the Barkers Inlet channel. Benthic surveys in the channel record Zostera seagrasses and razorfish beds.

Terrestrial Biota 1551 hectares or 60% of cell area is remnant vegetation, the majority is mangrove. The total number of plant and animal species recorded is 312, total threatened species is 74. Non-indigenous species total 95.

Land Use/ Land Ownership 53% of the cell is within the Dolphin Sanctuary, (includes mangroves to high tide): 51% is within the Barker Inlet and St Kilda Aquatic Reserve.

18% is Crown Land Act Reserve; 43% is un-alloted Crown Land.

Uses (Field visits and local reports) (including current usage) Barker Inlet and St Kilda are listed as a of National Importance.

61 species of fish have been recorded in the Barker Inlet estuary and adjacent mangroves, (Gillanders et al. 2008). Salt evaporation pans. Former Multi Function Polis land.

Threats (Field visits and local reports) Nutrient and heavy metal pollution (ACWS 2007) together with poor tidal circulation in the Angas and Barker Inlets. Heavy pressure for urban development is a major threat, (however, development is challenged by Potential Acid Sulfate Soils as well as local relative sea level rise).

Edyvane (2000) highlights a number of threats to the Port of Adelaide and environs, including: impact of marine pollution – and sewage effluent (mangrove loss, seagrass loss, algal blooms), stormwater management, dredging and spoil deposition, water and land-based recreational uses, public access, mosquito control, commercial fishing/recreational crabbing, sea level rise and land subsidence implication, contamination and waste management, commercial port operation, bait digging, introduced flora and fauna.

Opportunities Dolphin Sanctuary management provides a significant opportunity for integration of local and state authorities and agencies to co-ordinate effort in pollution control, and to manage the Barker Inlet as dolphin habitat and protected area. The valuable educational resource of the St Kilda Mangrove Boardwalk is located within the cell.

Conservation Analysis (GIS) Total conservation means is 92.02, medium (to high) priority for the region. The mangroves show total detailed conservation scores in the medium range, a number of small prograding intertidal samphire areas adjacent to the saltpan boundary show higher values (including values for the endemic low shrubland Threlkeldia diffusa), as does a stranded tidal flat samphire area in the south of the cell. Sections of saltpan within the cell give low to medium values.

Numbers of threatened birds stand out as a high value for this cell, as well as total number of threatened plant and animal species and species richness. Rarity of plant associations adds values. Vegetation block metrics, open space and Aboriginal heritage sites add to the score. Reptile and butterfly habitat are not significant (though remnant small areas of thatching grass in supratidal area in the north of the cell are a potential habitat for Yellowish Sedge-skipper larvae), nor does focal species habitat add to the conservation value.

The state endangered Fairy and White-bellied Sea Eagle, state vulnerable Banded Stilt, Blue-winged Parrot, Brown Quail, Eastern Curlew, and Freckled Duck have been recorded, in total 42 local, regional and state threatened bird species have recorded here. Rix (1978) notes that many birds feed on the low tide mudflats of Barker Inlet, moving over the mangroves to roost in the saltfields at night and at high tide. Birds, notably the Banded Stilt and the Silver Gull, are attracted to the brine shrimps of the high salinity southern end of the saltfields.

Threat Analysis (GIS) Barker Inlet has a high total threat score in the region, 56.78. The pattern of detailed total threat values is complex: the highest values are in the saltfields and in the inner mangroves, towards the northern end of the cell.

As with all the northern saltmarsh cells, it has high threat values for mining and acid sulfate soils, for land use, zoning and distribution of dangerous weeds has the third highest total in the study area. Also, there are medium threat scores for land ownership, stormwater volumes and the presence of evaporation pans and a dump (Wingfield). ORV tracks do not feature as a threat in this cell.

Possible Climate Change Threats [This local projection is based on the regional scenario set out in section 4.10 in Volume 1.] a) Sea level rise and Storm magnitude Many parts of the cell outside the saltfield seawalls are subject to storm surge inundation: such areas cover more than half the cell. Under the scenario, storm surge inundation will become much more frequent, with occasional inundation of low lying sand ridge areas. Fotheringham (1996) and Delta (2008) have shown that samphire communities are sensitive to changes in salt flood frequency, a sea level rise of 10 cm by 2030 would lead to displacement of some supra-tidal communities by inter-tidal communities, some supra-tidal communities unable to migrate upslope will be lost. Increasing frequency of storm surge inundation is likely to lead to increased flood bank protection of farm and grazing land, creating a need for strategic regional decisions to be made to ensure that areas of significant supra-tidal habitat can survive through migration.

When storm surge frequency renders raising and repairing saltfield seawalls uneconomic, further radical change will occur, with area reverting to saline lakes, saltflats and inter-tidal samphire, oxidation of acid sulfate soils may become an issue in some areas. b) Increasing average temperatures and aridity In broad regional terms, good connectivity of saltmarsh vegetated areas should allow S->N migration of species along the eastern shore of . However, the scale of climate change is likely to mean that the latitudinal range of the samphire coast may not be sufficient to accommodate migration of species in the long term, (100yrs+). Also, the latitudinal variation of saltmarsh environment is not sufficient for S -> N migration to be significant. c) Changed run-off regimes Occasional drought breaking intense rainfall episodes will lead to peaks of creek transport of sediment to low lying areas, it is possible that the sediment carried by the to the mangroves may show significant increase. d) Gulf Waters Change Increasing acidity of Gulf St Vincent waters will reduce production of carbonate shell material and biogenic sediments. This will have many implications, including the reduction of sediment coming ashore in cells MA17 to 24. Modified temperature regimes may alter the seasonal frequency of red tides (Alexandrium) within the Port River.
