The Hon Sussan Ley MP, Minister for the Environment
The Hon Adam Marshall, NSW Minister for Agriculture
The Morrison Government is delivering on a $20 million commitment to rebuild native shell reefs, support local jobs and boost tourism with a three-hectare site at Port Stephens nearing completion.
The transformation of a disused oyster lease in Port Stephens to a thriving native shellfish reef that will boost fish stocks, improve water quality and help protect the coastline from erosion and the impacts of extreme weather will have the last of 4200 tonnes of rock laid in coming weeks.
Minister for the Environment Sussan Ley said Port Stephens would be the first of 13 Reefs to be completed around the country helping to restore a network of native shellfish reefs that will support precious marine eco systems and increase fish stocks in regions impacted by last year’s bushfires and now, in some cases floods.
The Nature Conservancy
The Nature Conservancy is excited to announce a new partnership with Smartgroup, which will allow customers who offset the carbon emissions of their leased vehicles to contribute to the restoration of a coastal wetland in South Australia.
Most carbon capture projects in Australia involve planting trees, but The Nature Conservancy is providing another option: blue carbon. The process involves restoring coastal wetlands such as mangroves and seagrasses to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the vegetation and roots of wetlands plants. The wetlands also trap carbon that flows down from the catchment and prevent it from washing out to sea, acting just like a natural ‘carbon filter’ and amplifying the rate of carbon sequestration.
Scientists Shine Light on ‘Bright Spots’ to Restore Coastal Ecosystems
Written by AZoCleantechDec 22 2020
CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, has identified coastal ‘bright spots’ to repair marine ecosystems globally, paving the way to boost biodiversity, local economies and human wellbeing.
Scientists have identified successful marine ‘bright spots’ to restore coastal ecosystems, such as oyster reefs.
Doctor Megan Saunders, CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere Senior Research Scientist, said successful coastal restoration efforts could be achieved over large areas, deliver positive impacts for decades, expand restored areas by up to 10-times in size, and generate jobs.
“
Coastal ecosystems across the globe including saltmarshes, mangroves, seagrasses, oyster reefs, kelp beds and coral reefs have declined by up to 85 per cent over decades,” Dr Saunders said.
