Riparian Restoration through Weed Control and Planting at Moggill Creek Stage 1

These two complementary projects will help to restore the health of Moggill Creek, a tributary of the Brisbane River. The overall health of Moreton Bay Ramsar site relies on the capacity of urban waterways such as Moggill Creek to filter and mitigate pollution before it enters the Bay. Building resilience in urban waterways can also help mitigate climate change impacts by providing movement corridors and refugia during extreme weather events. This project will: 1) improve the resilience of the Moggill Creek riparian zone, 2) protect nationally significant wildlife and natural habitat, 3) enhance the wildlife corridor between D'Aguilar conservation estate and Moreton Bay, and 4) increase the capacity of the community to manage for conservation outcomes.

这两项互补项目将助力恢复布里斯班河（Brisbane River）支流莫吉尔溪（Moggill Creek）的生态健康。莫顿湾拉姆萨尔湿地（Moreton Bay Ramsar Site）的整体生态健康，依赖于莫吉尔溪这类城市水道在污染物流入海湾前对其进行过滤与缓解的能力。城市水道的韧性建设还可通过在极端天气事件中提供迁移通道与庇护所，助力缓解气候变化带来的影响。本项目将达成以下目标：1）提升莫吉尔溪河岸带的生态韧性；2）保护具有国家重要性的野生生物与自然栖息地；3）强化达格勒保护区（D'Aguilar Conservation Estate）与莫顿湾之间的野生生物连通廊道；4）提升社区开展保护管理并达成保护目标的能力。
