This paper reports geochemical analyses for mangrove sediments from the Townsville region, North Queensland. Vibrocores were taken from modern swamp (ca. 200 B.P.), and from buried Holocene mangroves of the inner shelf of Cleveland Bay. Although the average pH (ca. 5) and Eh (ca. -250mV) is similar for both the modern and early Holocene mangrove sediments, the pH and Eh are more variable in the younger mangrove sediments. Strongly acidic conditions (ca. pH 2.5) exist in the recently buried mangrove sediments, mainly caused by the degradation of organic matter. the porewater chemistry of early Holocene mangrove sediments suggests that acid-sulphate material may be preserved under marine and anoxic conditions because of limited exchange with seawater. The clay-rich mature of the mangrove sediments in the central Great Barrier Reef region enhances their chemical buffering capacity, the main buffers being clay (silicate) minerals, carbonates, iron-oxyhydroxides and organic matter. This leads to a reduced potential for acid-sulphate soil development and metal mobilisation.","PeriodicalId":197128,"journal":{"name":"Wetlands Australia Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125535717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These wetlands were formerly more extensive but large scale clearance has occurred since European settlement, and urban and industrial development since 1950 has resulted in the loss of 4 hectares of mangroves and 218 hectares of saltmarsh and freshwater wetlands. The remaining wetland complex is regarded as one of the most important in New South Wales (Australian Littoral Society, 1977). Since 1978 there has been no significant loss of wetlands to development, however, about 5 hectares (two percent) of the remaining mangroves have been lost in die-back following oil spills in 1979 and 1981 (Allaway et al., 1985). \u0000 \u0000A major oil refinery operates at Kurnell (Australian Oil Refining Pty Ltd – A. O. R.) and is supplied with crude oil by pipelines connected to an oil transfer terminal off Kurnell (Fig. 1). The Kurnell terminal comprises a seven-point mooring which holds tankers in a fixed position while oil is transferred to shore via a submerged pipeline. Submerged crude oil and refined product pipelines also traverse the Bay to facilitate the exchange of product between the refinery and other installations on the northern shore.","PeriodicalId":197128,"journal":{"name":"Wetlands Australia Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115982395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Griffiths","doi":"10.31646/WA.175","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31646/WA.175","url":null,"abstract":"Increasing responsibility, through State Government policies and pressure from local communities, is continuing to force Local government to address major environmental issues. The State Government's Floodplain Management Policies, for example, all charge local councils with the primary responsibility for management and rehabilitation of these areas. Coupled with this responsibility is a growing community awareness of environmental issues, particularly those in their immediate and local areas, with the growing expectation that major problems, such as deteriorating water quality, will be addressed in the short term. The challenge facing local councils, therefore, is to effectively respond to the community and accept their statutory responsibilities in regard to environmental issues, and to undertake these activities within normal time and resource constraints. \u0000 \u0000One method of dealing with this challenge is through the multiple use of urban waterways. That is, the use of urban waterways to address a range of objectives, such as minimising flood damage, improving water quality, enhancing aquatic and terrestrial habitat values and improving recreational opportunities in and around those waterways. A key component of this multiple use approach is the rehabilitation, creation and/or re-creation of wetlands.","PeriodicalId":197128,"journal":{"name":"Wetlands Australia Journal","volume":"166-169 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125526460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The marshes are the focus of considerable debate over management issues. The Macquarie Marshes Catchment Committee is preparing a Land and Water Management Plan to deal with these issues. The necessary first step in this planning process was exploring the concept of a boundary of marshes and defining a boundary of an appropriate planning area, including the marshes. \u0000 \u0000Community views on wetland boundaries were determined from the results of semi-structured interviews and a landholder questionnaire. Following negotiations, particularly with landholders who considered that they did not own marsh country, an acceptable planning area was defined for the purpose of the planning process. With the outer planning area boundary determined, specific management options can then be considered for either the whole are or for components of this study area e.g. for specific vegetation types. Scientific data and the political context were also explored to provide a background to the decision on a planning area. The interaction of factors which led to the decision as well as difficulties in delineating a boundary are discussed.","PeriodicalId":197128,"journal":{"name":"Wetlands Australia Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125580404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
