BMRG Project Coordinator, Abbie Taylor and Project

BMRG Project Coordinator, Abbie Taylor and Project Officer, Radka Jack recently went to Wreck Rock to work with Wreck Rock Turtle Care. While there they did a #MarineDebris survey and collected all of this in just a few hours! They have since categorised the debris, and disposed of it correctly.

Marine debris can be harmful to marine fauna and ecosystems through ingestion, entanglement and pollution. BMRG conducts and supports surveys as part of our @ausgov funded Protecting Saltmarsh and Marine Turtle Monitoring project.

Marine turtles are a special part of the Burnett M

Marine turtles are a special part of the Burnett Mary region. Mon Repos supports the largest concentration of nesting marine turtles on the eastern Australian mainland and the most significant loggerhead turtle nesting population in the South Pacific Ocean.

Each year from November to March, over 400 turtles lay their eggs in the beaches of our region, but only one in 1000 hatchlings survive to adulthood. To help with the conservation and continued survival of these beautiful marine turtles, you can:
• Go Slow for Those Below – when boating, avoid shallow seagrass areas or, if you can’t avoid them, reduce speed to below 10 knots and take extra care.
• Cut the Glow to Help Turtles Go – switch off your unnecessary lights to stop turtles wandering towards the light and to the wrong place.
• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – avoid single-use plastic and recycle when you can.

Burnett Mary Regional Group is proud to work with highly motivated groups of marine turtle volunteers and organisations such as Gidarjil Development Corporation, SQ Landscapes, Queensland Parks And Wildlife Service and Bundaberg Regional Council, in an effort to remove marine debris, reduce predation by the European red fox, and collect turtle data each season. #nlp

Environmental Minister, the Honourable Sussan Ley,

Environmental Minister, the Honourable Sussan Ley, today pledged $6.1 million toward the prevention of 16,000 tonnes of sediment from entering the iconic Great Barrier Reef. The funding will go toward improving the water quality of the Burnett River catchment, which flows directly into the Reef. BMRG will partner with the National Landcare Program, involving local landowners, communities, and Traditional Owners, to improve land management practices, prevent erosion, manage weeds and feral animals and prevent sediment from entering the river. The project, which will extend over several years, is also predicted to provide many new employment opportunities for those in the Bundaberg region.

Today is World #Soil Day, and so we would like to celebrate one of our projects - Saving Soils in the Burnett Mary, led by Project Officer Simon Hunt. The project supports the adoption of best #management practices to improve soil #conservation by supplying tailored #erosion remediation guides, demonstration site field days and, in conjunction with the Fitzroy Basin Association, a series of videos, the first two of which can be viewed on our YouTube. Keep an eye out for more demonstration days coming soon! @ausgov @fitzroybasinassociation #bmrg #burnettmary #burnettmaryregionalgroup

Emma Baker was out with landholders on Monday to inspect a gully rehabilitation site near Monduran.

With earthworks complete, grass seed sown and electric fencing keeping stock off the site, the only ingredient left was rain. And FINALLY the rain came! The site is now looking great!

If you'd like to come take a look at a finished gully project and learn what you can do yourself, we have a workshop for you! Saturday 7 March, Apple Tree Creek. See our Facebook post for details!
