Field guide
Queensland Marine Turtle Field Guide
This field guide has been developed as part of the Nest to Ocean Turtle Protection Program. Correctly identifying marine turtles, and the animals that prey on their nests, provides valuable information about turtle populations and shows where predator control activities are most needed
Directory
Weeds of National Significance Directory
Landowners and land managers at all levels are responsible for managing Weeds of National Significance (WoNS). The WoNS were selected as they require coordination among all levels of government, organisations and individuals with weed management responsibilities.
Supporting landholders to save their soils and the reef
Project Snapshot - Gully Remediation in the Fitzroy
PROJECT SUMMARY • Over 190 landholders canvassed, 44 landholders engaged across five Fitzroy subcatchments • 176 property visits and 56 site assessments • 53 erosion management plans developed • 3,441 hectares of gullies and vulnerable land (i.e. scalds) fenced for stock exclusion • 140 hectares of gullies treated through erosion control structures • 652 erosion control structures constructed • Four demonstration site field days to promote gully remediation and soil saving management practices
Protecting and enhancing high value fish habitats across central Queensland’s coast
Protecting and enhancing high value fish habitats across central Queensland’s coast
The ‘Protecting and enhancing high value fish habitats across central Queensland’s coast’ project worked to restore seagrass communities (critical fish habitat) that are declining due to habitat loss and destruction.
Natural Grasslands Fact Sheet
FBA Natural grasslands fact sheet
Open fields of natural grasslands are home to special plants and secretive animals, and support productive cattle businesses by providing palatable feed. Natural grasslands are an essential part of our local landscape and they need your help to survive. This guide is full of tips to help central Queensland landholders manage their natural grasslands.
Saving the Critically Endangered Kroombit Tinkerfrog
Saving the Critically Endangered Kroombit Tinkerfrog
The project focused on the release of genetically diverse, captive-bred frogs into the wild to supplement existing populations and repopulate sites where Kroombit tinkerfrogs have gone locally extinct. There was also a strong focus on habitat and genetic improvement to increase the frogs’ survival odds upon release and protect existing frogs at Kroombit Tops.
Team Turtle Central Queensland
TTCQ Snapshot
Team Turtle Central Queensland (TTCQ) was established almost a decade ago to train a network of community volunteers in turtle monitoring. TTCQ is a citizen scientist program with the aim of collecting and collating quality data for submission to the Department of Environment and Science (DES) managed Queensland Turtle Conversation Program database and local authorities which informs and influences coastal management and threat mitigation for marine turtle species
Walking the Landscape Lower Fitzroy Catchment Story
Lower Fitzroy River Catchment Story
To effectively manage the catchment it is important to have a collective understanding of how the catchment works. This map journal gathers information from experts and other data sources to provide that understanding.
