Project description:
Wetland Management Profiles
The Queensland Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is compiling detailed brochures on the values and management of wetlands in Queensland. Wetlands International staff are lead authors on five of these publications and have provided text images and review comments on several other profiles.
To view the list of published profiles and downloads please refer to the EPA website New profiles will be released during 2006.
Profiles authored by WIO staff:
* saltmarsh wetlands
* mangrove wetlands
* coastal grass-sedge wetlands
* arid-zone swamp wetlands
* inland non-arid swamp wetlands
Factsheets for regional/catchment bodies
During 2005 and 2006, Wetlands International staff have drafted factsheets for two regional natural resource management (NRM) bodies, the Fitzroy Basin Association, and the Condamine Alliance (via the EPA). These products are due for release early in 2006 and cover:
* migratory shorebirds on the Central Queensland coast
* the Cotton Pygmy-goose
* management of 4 inland wetland types of the Condamine catchment.
