Traditional Owners vegetation workshop

By Blue Carbon Lab | Fieldwork, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 26 June, 2020 | 2

Training and pre-restoration vegetation surveys are underway!  In partnership with Coastcare Victoria and the Arthur Rylah Institute (ARI) we hosted a vegetation survey training workshop on Wadawurrung Country at Point Lillias in February 2020. The goal of this workshop was to train members of the Wathaurung Aboriginal Corporation (WAC) the key steps and methods involvedRead more

Autumn 2020 saltmarsh sampling in Western Port

By Blue Carbon Lab | Fieldwork, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 23 June, 2020 | 0

12 months of greenhouse gas and vegetation data collection completed! With the easing of some COVID-19 restrictions, the Blue Carbon Lab was given the green light to recommence fieldwork under strict social distancing guidelines. Our #VicWetlnandRehab team headed to Western Port in May 2020 to finish the autumn survey of the 10-hectare saltmarsh restoration site.Read more

Additional protection for Western Port’s saltmarsh

By Blue Carbon Lab | Fieldwork, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 23 June, 2020 | 0

Thanks to project cost savings we’ve been able to install additional protection of Saltmarsh Habitat in Western Port! After the completion of protection fencing at our first Western Port site (~10 hectares), we had some cost savings, which allowed us to protect additional saltmarsh in the region! Our project partner Parks Victoria was able toRead more

Installing teabags in different saltmarsh community types

By Blue Carbon Lab | Fieldwork, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 22 June, 2020 | 0

Time for tea! Exploring rates of carbon decomposition in different saltmarsh community types.  As part of the Victorian Coastal Wetland Restoration Program, researchers in the Blue Carbon Lab are studying how carbon retention varies among saltmarsh community types. This information is important when planning the restoration of coastal wetland habitats. Following the TeaComposition H2O protocols,Read more

Coastal ecosystems have high dollar value as nurseries for fish

By Blue Carbon Lab | News | Comments are Closed | 19 June, 2020 | 0

A new study has, for the first time, put a dollar value on the contribution of Australia’s coastal ecosystems as breeding grounds for fish. Researchers from Deakin University’s Blue Carbon Lab calculated that a single hectare of seagrass supports 55,000 more fish a year compared to seabed without vegetation. This represents a commercial value ofRead more

Weed Management Works: Improving brackish grassland habitat for increased water bird nesting ground

By Blue Carbon Lab | Fieldwork, VicWetlandRehab | Comments are Closed | 11 June, 2020 | 0

As part of the Victorian Coastal Wetland Restoration program, works are underway on our Gippsland Lakes saltmarsh site with vegetation monitoring and a weed removal program. Vegetation mapping across the 100 ha site revealed quality brackish grassland areas (EVC class 934) that have been shrinking in size due to encroachment by the shrub Melaleuca ericifoliaRead more
