Project outline:
Project achievements and outcomes:
PCL has played coordinating, advocacy and awareness-raising roles in order to achieve better on-ground outcomes for our local wetlands. From 2002 – 2007 we worked in Sandringham Lagoon on two projects; trials for managing Hymenachne and its removal from the Lagoon. PCL managed revegetation, monitored water quality and conducted field trips to spread awareness of projects.
From 2004 to the present we have worked with landholders including Mackay Port Authority/North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation, Mackay City Council/Mackay Regional Council and private landholders to control woody weeds in the Slade Point/Andergrove wetlands. PCL has continued to urge landholders for renewed weed control in the wetlands. We also hosted the Open Day at Wetland Walkabout in May 2009, showcasing the work that has been done to restore wetlands and its results.
