The University of Sunshine Coast Marine Science team led by Dr Ben Gilby has presented its final analysis of three years of fish monitoring on and around the Pumicestone Shellfish Habitat Restoration site near Bribie Island, and the results are showing that the restoration effort not only increases the attraction of fish but contributes significantly to an increase in productivity of the fishery.
The Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation (QYAC) and the Quandamooka Aboriginal Land and Sea Management Agency are leading restoration works on Guwawenewa (goo-wah-wey-ne-wah) – Goat Island caring for country and restoring this beautiful island.
Did you know butterflies are considered indicators of environmental health and Brisbane has approximately 160 known butterfly species?
An abundance of butterflies signals good environmental conditions while declining numbers may be a sign of problems with consequences for other wildlife.
The results of our extensive monitoring program across South East Queensland were released on 5 November 2000, representing the culmination of twelve months of rigorous scientific monitoring at 312 freshwater, estuarine, marine, and event sites across the region.
For the last 20 years, results for South East Queensland have been communicated annually through the Healthy Land & Water Report Card.
A Report Card for South East Queensland has been released today, arming the region with 20 years of comprehensive monitoring data to guide the action needed to build the prosperity, liveability, and sustainability of the growing region.
We are pleased to announce that the Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation (QYAC) and Healthy Land & Water have renewed their strong commitment to work together during a special ceremony, marked at the re-signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the groups.
Healthy Land & Water has been busy completing small and large earthworks projects as part of the Healthy Catchments Program, funded by the Department of Environment and Science (DES).
