Good news for wetland bird habitat - I noticed today that the Commonwealth
has extended the boundaries of seven Ramsar wetlands.
The wetlands are:
Hunter Estuary Wetlands (formerly Kooragang
Nature Reserve Ramsar Site); Ashmore Reef National Nature Reserve; Coral Sea
Reserves; Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs Marine National Nature Reserve;
the Dales; Fivebough and Tuckerbill Swamps; and Banrock Station Wetland Complex.
The Commonwealth Minister for the Environment and Heritage has issued a notice
under s.327 of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation
Act.
Cheers,
Lorraine
