Wetland case study
Fitzroy coastal floodplain case study
This case study was created by the Department of Environment and Resource Management Aquatic Ecosystem Health Science Integration and Capacity Building Team as part of the Queensland Wetlands Program. The purpose of this conceptual modelling case study is to synthesise and present information on the values of the Fitzroy estuarine floodplain wetland pools. In particular, the study examines how physical and biological connectivity across the Fitzroy delta landscape drives the ecological functioning of the wetland pools.
Wetland case study
Kinka Wetlands case study
This Pilot Program project at Kinka Swamp was so successful that the area has been gazetted as a Reserve for Beach Protection and Coastal Management, with Rockhampton Regional Council (formerly Livingstone Shire Council) as trustee. The project involved restoration of fish passage to 57 hectares of wetland by constructing two fishways at strategic locations, as well as improving access for recreational purposes. The environmental value of the site was promoted through education and an interpretive sign
