Projects

Team members are running these projects to reach the team's goals — anyone can be a helper on activities.

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.
