Does recreational fishing impact the sustainability of Queensland's shark populations?

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 13:44:43 GMT

Does recreational fishing impact the sustainability of Queensland's shark populations?
[1 September 2009] A newly-published study has investigated whether recreational fishing could be affecting shark and ray populations in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The study was conducted by Ann-Maree Lynch as part of her Honours research project through the Fishing and Fisheries Research Centre at James Cook University (JCU), and was jointly funded by JCU and the Australian Government's Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility (MTSRF). According to Dr Steve Sutton, a co-author of the study, there are growing concerns internationally over the decline of shark and ray populations, and the implications of these declines for marine ecosystems.

Impacts of the MTSRF - September 2009
Most research facilities measure their success in tems of the number of scientific and technical publications they have produced. While publication by this means is an extremely important step to maintaining the credibility of scientific information, the objectives of the MTSRF are more accurately served using additional indicators of performance. Updated in September 2009, the MTSRF presents brief descriptions of some of the cases in which successful delivery of MTSRF-funded 'solution science' to end users has contributed to changes in policy and/or practice.

Impacts of the MTSRF: Carbon biosequestration

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 17:06:36 GMT

Impacts of the MTSRF: Carbon biosequestration
The United Nations REDD Programme (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) recognises that deforestation is a serious climate change problem worldwide, as it not only directly threatens the health of rainforest ecosystems but also reduces the rate at which carbon is biosequestered from the atmosphere. Rainforest revegetation is considered an important mitigating tool for these problems. Australia is already a world leader in rainforest revegetation technologies, with decades of research showing that ecological restoration plantings can produce excellent rainforest ecosystem outcomes, including recovery of both animal and plant biodiversity. But what of carbon biosequestration rates? Rapidly increasing worldwide interest in the use of rainforest revegetation projects as carbon storage or environmental offsets�has stimulated researchers funded through the Australian Government's Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility (MTSRF) to investigate ways to maximise returns on investment in revegetation efforts.

Impacts of the MTSRF: Delivering science solutions

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 17:07:05 GMT

Impacts of the MTSRF: Delivering science solutions
There is increasing worldwide recognition of the cost of failure to transfer new research-generated knowledge to policy and decision makers. Enhancing the sometimes poor links between science and policy should be a high priority given the Australian Government's commitment to evidence-based policy, and the need for adaptive management to keep up with the increasing pace of environmental change. In the context of the recent reviews of the Australian Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) program and the National Innovation System, it is both timely and appropriate to consider how publicly-funded, public-good research might more reliably inform Australian public policy and practice, particularly in the environmental arena.

Impacts of the MTSRF: Increasing sustainability for Queensland's sharks

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 17:07:25 GMT

Impacts of the MTSRF: Increasing sustainability for Queensland's sharks
There is increasing worldwide concern about the vulnerability of shark populations to fishing pressure, with marked declines in reef shark numbers recently reported in the waters of the Great Barrier Reef*. Although traditionally considered of low fisheries value, and hence a low priority for fisheries research, the lack of species-specific population assessments, catch per unit effort records and critical life history information for most sharks stands in stark contrast to the potential threats to their sustainability, including growing demand for shark products, as well as unknown but potentially significant mortality rates through bycatch in other fisheries. While the removal of apex predators is likely to have consequences for marine ecosystems that are already under pressure, sustaining shark populations is not just about biodiversity conservation: recent results from research funded through the Australian Government's Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility (MTSRF) suggest that healthy populations of sharks and other marine wildlife are very important in dollar terms to North Queensland's dive tourism industry (MTSRF Project 4.8.6 Analysis of recreational and tourism use and impact on the Great Barrier Reef for managing sustainable tourism). Generating some of the information that is needed to increase understanding about the impacts of commercial and recreational fishing on the Great Barrier Reef's inshore shark species has been a strong focus of research conducted through MTSRF Project 4.8.4.

Impacts of the MTSRF: Towards sustainable shark fisheries on the Great Barrier Reef: The contribution of MTSRF-funded research
MTSRF-funded science has generated the best available descriptions of shark catches in the inshore commercial net fishery of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, including catch composition and life history traits of priority species which will support production of a comprehensive ecological risk assessment of the Australian East Coast Inshore Finfish Fishery, Queensland's largest and most diverse fishery. Outputs from other MTSRF-funded research suggest that healthy populations of sharks and other marine wildlife are very important income generators for the Great Barrier Reef dive tourism industry in North Queensland.

Impacts of the MTSRF: Working together for the Torres Strait

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 17:07:52 GMT

Impacts of the MTSRF: Working together for the Torres Strait
The Torres Strait is a unique, and uniquely vulnerable, region of Australia. The numerous islands and their surrounding waters between Cape York and Papua New Guinea are home to a traditional Indigenous culture and complex and diverse natural environments, as well as some of the world's largest remaining populations of dugongs and turtles. Healthy marine ecosystems are fundamental to the sustainability of Torres Strait communities. It will be important to ensure that these marine ecosystems can continue to provide food and income despite sustained use and climate change. In addition, many of the inhabited islands are low-lying, and are already occasionally inundated by high tides. While all coastal areas of Australia will be affected by sea level rise, the island communities of Torres Strait are particularly vulnerable. Can scientific research help the communities of Torres Strait to increase sustainability in their region? [pdf 1.2 Mb]

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 17:08:50 GMT

Impacts of the MTSRF: Delivering for Australia
The MTSRF has generated an enormous amount of new information relevant to living and working more sustainably in the tropics. While all of this information is freely and publicly available, the sheer quantity of it can be overwhelming. Successful delivery of new information to the people who can actually use it is fundamental to the overall objective of the MTSRF, which is to increase the sustainability of management and use of North Queensland's environmental assets. The RRRC has expended considerable effort making sure MTSRF-generated information is not only publicly available, but available in diverse interpreted forms that are accessible to a wide range of end users. The efforts of the RRRC in these knowledge brokering and delivery roles are already helping the MTSRF make a difference to environmental policy and practice in North Queensland, as well as further afield.

Myrtle's Battle against Climate Change

Tue, 25 May 2010 10:31:35 GMT

Myrtle's Battle against Climate Change
[19 May 2010] When a scientist presents their PhD, most people expect a boring report that is hundreds of pages long, with numerous complicated graphs and lots of footnotes. Instead James Cook University PhD student Mariana Fuentes has produced a children's book with illustrations, and only ten pages long. The book is based on Mariana's findings on her study of the impacts of climate change on the northern Great Barrier Reef green sea turtle population. The main character of the book, 'Myrtle' is based on a real turtle that was satellite-tagged in 2008 at Mer Island, Torres Strait. Myrtle was named by students of the local Tagai State College.

Project 1.4.1(e) UQ Parra, G. et al. (2009) Feeding habits of Australian Snubfin (Orcaella heinsohni) and Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis)
Little information exists on the feeding habits of Australian Snubfin (Orcaella heinsohni) and Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis). In this study, University of Queensland researchers provide quantitative analyses of the diet of both dolphin species in Queensland waters, based on the examination of stomachs collected from stranded and bycaught animals between 1970 and 2008. Snubfin and humpback dolphins appear to be opportunistic-generalist feeders, eating a wide variety of fish and cephalopods associated with coastal-estuarine waters. [pdf 231.6 kb]

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 11:01:49 GMT

Project 1.4.3 CSIRO (2009) The spatial distribution and characteristics of the Queensland Forest Service rainforest map units in the Wet Tropics of North Queensland
Compiled and edited by Andrew W. Graham from a study initiated by M. S. Hopkins with data recorded by P. Harland and R. K. Hewett. CSIRO Report No. VM1/049-15, 6 April 2009. ABSTRACT: This report presents unpublished but somewhat 'dated' data on the spatial distribution patterns of mainland North Queensland rainforests from 43 Queensland Forest Service 1:50,000 maps as available in 1990. At that time all data extractions from the maps were carried out manually as digital mapping resources were not available. All mapped rainforest isolates were assessed and arbitrarily classified as massifs (>10,000 ha), blocks (1,000-10,000 ha) and patches (<1,000 ha). Eleven massifs were defined, covering 635,945 ha and representing 89.4% of the total mapped area of 711,574 ha; seven blocks extended over 14,248 ha and represented two percent of the mapped area; 3,974 patches were identified covering 61,381 ha representing 8.6 percent of the mapped area. All patches were classified with regard to location in regard to the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area (WTWHA) boundary, elevation and boundary length, naturalness of the margins, distance to the nearest patch, as well as topographic and geomorphic settings. Approximately two-thirds of the patches, both by number and area, had natural boundaries. Just over 50% of the patches occurred across 10 maps sheets and represented 59% of all patches with natural boundaries, being concentrated in the north-northwest and southern sections of the study area. Natural patches are most common in areas of marginal to unsuitable climate for rainforest, in rugged areas and on lower fertility soils. Map sheets with the largest areas of patches with modified boundaries are most commonly located in wet coastal areas and Tablelands areas. Just over 60% of patches are located completely outside the WTWHA boundary. In terms of geomorphic and topographic settings, riparian patches are most common, typically at lower altitudes. Discrepancies between the total mapped area and other contemporaneous estimates of the mainland rainforest area are addressed and some important general implications for management are briefly considered. Images of the 43 assessed maps and the spreadsheet of the full dataset are included with the report. [pdf 2.4 Mb]

Project 1.4.3 CSIRO Metcalfe, D. et al. (2010) Floristic impacts of re-alignment of beach ridge track, Cowley Beach

Project 1.4.3 CSIRO Metcalfe, D. et al. (2010) Floristic impacts of re-alignment of beach ridge track, Cowley Beach
A long-standing 4WD track along the back of the foredunes and sand spit between Cowley Beach and the mouth of Liverpool Creek (south of Innisfail, North Queensland) was extensively damaged by Tropical Cyclone Larry in March 2006. Storm surges removed several metres of beach sand and many established trees, while high winds felled many trees across the track. Quad bike riders and 4WD drivers have subsequently made their own tracks, following the original track at the southern end, but running along the ridge crest for much of its length, damaging sand-stabilising vegetation and potentially disturbing turtle nest sites. The Cassowary Coast Regional Council is assessing the feasibility of re-routing the track to the landward side of the foredune where the sand is better stabilised and potential ecological damage is minimised. This report provides details of a site assessment carried out by CSIRO ecologists to assess community structure and condition in relation to the mapped vegetation communities under the Queensland Department of Environment and Resource Management's Regional Ecosystem Framework (RE), search for significant plant species listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) and Nature Conservation Act 1992 (Qld) (NCA), and for bioregionally important occurrences of other plant species, assess weed abundance and distribution, and assess the ecological values of the site and the damage being caused by on-going motor vehicle access.

Research needs for sustainable growth in tropical north Queensland
[17 July 2009] Some of Australia's top climate change scientists are meeting on Monday in Port Douglas to scope tropical north Queensland's climate science priorities and challenges, in a two-day workshop jointly sponsored by the Queensland Climate Change Centre of Excellence, the Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility and the CSIRO. The CSIRO has been responsible for providing the latest information about climate change to the Australian community, industry and government. Together with the Bureau of Meteorology, they are attempting to answer some fundamental questions about future climate and weather - particularly in the Australian tropics. These involve the behaviour of tropical cyclones, the El Nino Soutern Oscillation phenomenon, extreme temperatures and rainfall, and rising sea levels. [pdf 94.8 kb]
