Horning Street Saltmarsh Revegetation Project 2014-2015 Annual Report

Report

In 2012 Horning Street saltmarsh (the Site) was selected for revegetation as part of the environmental offset required by the Captain Cook Drive widening project at Woolooware Bay. A revegetation plan was developed and baseline monitoring was undertaken in April 2013 to assess the condition of the ecological community prior to revegetation. Following recommendations outlined by the baseline study, monitoring of the saltmarsh community was undertaken at three month intervals commencing in September 2013 and continuing through to June 2015. Comparison between survey plot categories was undertaken with data collected throughout the 2014/15 monitoring period and comparison of baseline condition was made with data collected in winter 2015 (2.5 years after revegetation).
