Gladstone Region Coastal Restoration Initiative

The project will monitor and measurably improve the aquatic ecosystems, including wetlands and sensitive coastal environments of the Boyne River including Gladstone Port, its islands, and the Southern Barrier Reef to:
(i) protect and improve areas of specific marine and terrestrial ecosystems, such as: reducing the impact of vegetation degradation by feral pigs on Curtis Island; and
(ii) objectively assess, document and monitor the culturally significant areas adjacent to the heritage listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park such as: location and survey of shell middens and burial sites.
