Reports
Aquenal produces detailed reports on the findings of marine and freshwater biology studies, environmental impact assessments and other surveys performed in Tasmania and study areas further afield. We maintain a library of reports produced for clients and developed through other research projects. Many reports are confidential to clients, although findings of impact studies are frequently reported in Development Proposals and Environmental Management Plans (DPEMPs), Integrated Impact Statements (IISs), Environmental Effects Statements (EESs) and other documents developed by clients for public viewing. Links are provided below to introduced marine pest and marine park biodiversity survey reports that have been released publicly, as well as to the recently completed foreshore mapping report.
Marine pest surveysSurveys of introduced marine pests performed as part of the National Baseline Ports Survey Program, the latter administered by Commonwealth authorities, are available after a confidentiality period has elapsed. This program is aimed at mapping introductions of exotic species, identifying risks to Australian marine environments and, ultimately, at improving national quarantine barriers. It is therefore beneficial that results of these surveys are shared at both national and international levels. Click on the links below to access reports (note that the Port of Hobart and Port of Burnie reports have each been divided into two parts - Parts A and B - due to the large sizes of these documents):
Marine Park biodiversity surveysMarine Park biodiversity monitoring surveys are another growing area of our work and have been performed for marine park authorities and associated management bodies. Reports from these surveys are utilised in the management of marine areas and are usually released as public literature. Booderee National Park waters biodiversity survey report Foreshore MappingThe report detailing the assessment and mapping of foreshore values, condition and pressures in the Southern Natural Resource Management Region (link below) accompanies a series of electronic mapping layers which can be viewed under the Natural Environment (Coastal Values) category on the Land Information System Tasmania (LIST) website (http://www.thelist.tas.gov.au/), or requested from the Coastal and Marine Branch, Environment Division, Department of Environment, Parks, Heritage and the Arts (coastal.enquiries@environment.tas.gov.au). Assessment and Mapping of Foreshore Values, Condition and Pressures in the Southern NRM Region (4 MB)
