Projects

The Bayside Branch of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland is, at any particular time, involved in a number of projects in and around Moreton Bay. These range from involvement in court cases over development proposals, to surveys such as Seagrass Watch.

Seagrass Watch Seagrass Watch aims are to raise awareness on the condition and trend of near shore seagrasses throughout Queensland and provide an early warning of major changes in seagrass abundance, distribution and species composition.

Dugong Watch The Dugong is listed as Vulnerable under the Queensland Nature Conservation Act, this and the ongoing unsustainable losses being incurred by this species spurred the Wildlife Preservation Society of Qld, Bayside Branch into action.

Curlews Bayside Branch is seeking interested members of the community to help survey the Curlews in the Bayside area, both on the islands and the main land. We need as many people as possible to gather and record the information in order to ensure a reasonable coverage.
