This project brings together concerned residents, local volunteers, and wildlife advocates under the guidance of recognised experts to build awareness and take practical steps to protect our native species. </p> <p class="font_8"><br></p> <p class="font_8">Join the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/306634775654922"><u><strong>Bribie Island/Yarun Indian Myna Education Facebook Group</strong></u></a> to learn more about controlling this destructive invader!</p> <p class="font_8"><br></p> <p class="font_9">*The Common (Indian) Myna <strong>must not be confused</strong> with the Australian native honeyeater, the Noisy Miner <em>Manorina melanocephala </em>( see photo gallery for ID resources)</p>
	Marine Debris Clean-ups	Cleaning up rubbish around the coastline of Bribie Island and surrounds.
	Oyster Reef Restoration	We are partnering with OzFish and Healthy Land and Water to restore oyster reefs in Pumicestone Passage. OzFish is already running a successful shellfish reef restoration programme in Moreton Bay, so we are working with them to do the same in our Marine Park.
	Toad Busters	We aim to control and eventually eradicate cane toads (Rhinella marina) on Bribie Island.
