BMRG staff held an educational talk for prep to Ye

BMRG staff held an educational talk for prep to Year 6 students at Elliott Heads State School on Thursday 6 May 2021. The presentation aimed to raise awareness about #MarineTurtle protection and monitoring projects at Discovery, Woongara and Fraser Coast. ⁠
⁠
The students were keen to learn about turtle species nesting at the region, what challenges they have been facing when coming offshore to lay their eggs and how volunteers protect the reptile species’ nests and hatchlings. ⁠
⁠
Use of drones during fox predation work and marine debris pollution were also a component of the presentation. The students showed a keen interest in learning and asked very interesting questions. ⁠
⁠
The presentation was supported by the #NesttoOcean Program #QueenslandGovernment #DES and #NationalLandcareProgram – Conserving the Outstanding Universal Values of World Heritage Properties: Protecting Saltmarsh and Marine Turtle Monitoring @ausgov.

A great 3 days was had at the Murgon Grazing Clini

A great 3 days was had at the Murgon Grazing Clinic with 45 graziers participating in the workshop, sharing experiences and learning thanks to Resource Consulting Services (RCS). Grazing charts, assessing feed in the paddock and working out how long it will last, building soil health, optimising pasture growth, designing paddocks and water points and boosting animal health were just some of the topics covered.⁠
⁠
This workshop was partially funded by BMRG through funding from the Australian Government's #NationalLandcareProgram. ⁠

BMRG Staff, Abbie, Radka, Sam and Simon, recently

BMRG Staff, Abbie, Radka, Sam and Simon, recently undertook fieldwork to assist with annual turtle nest counts. The team travelled along the coast of Deepwater National Park looking for evidence of nesting activity using #drone technology. The data collected was given to the local volunteer turtle group, #WreckRockTurtleCare, to include in their annual turtle statistics. Drones are a great way of quickly and efficiently capturing high-quality data in challenging landscapes. #RLP #WorldHeritageSites @ausgov

Today is World Wetlands Day, a day to celebrate we

Today is World Wetlands Day, a day to celebrate wetlands and acknowledge the efforts to conserve this important ecosystem. ⁠
2021 also marks the Ramsar 50th-anniversary celebrations! ⁠
⁠
Wetlands provide a range of ecosystem services, from protecting coastal communities from storm surges to being vital requirements for the income of over 1 billion people, not to mention helping support 40% of the world’s species by providing crucial habitat for breeding and feeding. The Burnett Mary Region encompasses many wetland areas within its catchments, though the largest is the Ramsar internationally important Great Sandy Strait Wetland area, located between the western shores of K’gari and the Fraser Coast, covering over 830 square kilometers. This wetland system provides crucial habitat for water mice, dugongs, turtles, fishes, many species of migratory shorebirds and other important species.
