Projects
Team members are running these projects to reach the team's goals — anyone can be a helper on activities.
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. | |
Dune Planting | We are demonstrating that growing beaches by planting on dunes and protecting them from pedestrian traffic is the most cost-effective and successful foreshore management practice in erosion prevention. | |
Marine Debris | We are protecting native wildlife along the coastal fringes of Bribie Island and surrounds from the dangers posed by litter and other marine debris. |
