VOLUME 24 NUMBER 4!JULY/AUGUST 2016BRIBIE WILDLIFE AT RISKSPEED KILLSSLOW DOWNResidents along the Esplanade at White Patch have decided to exact this very tactic. Recently apetition was submitted to the Moreton Bay Regional Council to have the speed limit lowered to50 kph in their neighbourhood to control the speeding and hooning - not just by visitors but someresidents as well. They were upset at the number of wallabies and other wildlife being killed.MBRC has approved the installation of new 50 kph signage along the Esplanade. It may also needtraffic calming devices, depending on the drivers# responses. Avoiding wildlife on the road has anelement of luck, but the ways to minimise your chances of hitting Australia's native animals are toslow down and avoid driving at dusk, night and dawn. The animals, especially kangaroos areblinded by your lights. iving-in-australia-tipsSkippy blamed forincrease in collisionsBaby joey rescued fromdead mum#s pouch.Please check dead orinjured wildlife.

VOLUME 24 NUMBER 4!JULY/AUGUST 2016SINGAPORE CRUSHES IVORYChina's Ivory Trade Pushes Elephants Toward ExtinctionWhy does the Antiques Road Show continue to value watch?v 93rRwxSsDPQSingapore held its first-ever Ivorycrush on Monday 13th June 2016,destroying nearly eight metric tons ofconfiscated elephant ivory worth aboutAU 13 Million." The banned tusks wererun through a rock crusher and thenincinerated."The public destruction of ivory sendsa strong message that Singapore condemns illegal wildlife trade," saidDesmond Lee, Senior Minister of Statefor National Development and HomeAffairs." "By crushing the ivory, weensure that it does not re-enter theivory market.! Tackling this illicit traderequires close international cooperation, and also the assistance of thepublic and non-governmental organisations.!We will continue our enforcement efforts, toprevent Singapore from!being used as atransit point," he added.There's no real market for Ivory in Singapore,according to a study by the World WildlifeFund (WWF) and the wildlife trade monitoringnetwork TRAFFIC." But the city-state is animportant transit hub for illegal ivory shipments moving from Africa to China andVietnam." TRAFFIC says Singapore authorities confiscated more than seven metric tonsof Ivory between 2013 and 2015."Two months ago, Kenya burned more than105 metric tons of ivory." Last Sunday, SouthSudan, too, burned over five metric tons ofseized ivory and rhino horn.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v 3PkRtXXImVA#t 16Single use Plastic bags banned in France on 1st JulySome 17 billion plastic bags are used in France each year and around 8 billion are discarded “in nature” says France"sEnvironment Ministry. Some five billion of these bags are handed out at check-outs and 12 billion are for fruit and veg. Anaverage plastic bag takes one second to make, is used for roughly 20 minutes and takes up to400 years to degrade naturally. To compare France: - Denmark and Finland use four plasticbags per inhabitant / year; in France it is 80 per inhabitant / year. In Poland they use 400.

VOLUME 24 NUMBER 4!JULY/AUGUST 2016NO AUSTRALIAN WANTS TO SAY“GOODBYE” TO THE REEFGlobal warming- is threatening the places, species and Australian lifestyle we love. The places that we want our children andtheir children to explore and love and marvel at – the same as we did. Places like the Great Barrier Reef.Global warming- is driven by the mining and burning of fossil fuels like coal; saw water temperatures on the Reef soar thissummer. Across the whole reef 22% of coral bleached and died, and in far north Queensland 50% of coralwas killed.We#ve got the scientific, technological and innovative solutions to stop dangerous global warming.We need to stop mining and burning fossil fuels like coal. We need to stop spending billions of dollarssubsidizing the unsustainable 19th century old-energy industries. We need to invest in our future in Australia"s inexhaustible natural assets - clean renewable energy, such as solar and wind. Australiansmust act to save our Reef. The wonder and spectacle of the Reef is a reminder of what Australians can doto harness their collective power to protect the Reef and all our natural assets.IT IS NOT TIME TO SAY “GOODBYE”- Transition Away from Coal-Fired Power Plants Keeps BuildingBy Neil StrotherThe transition away from coal-fired power plants continues among a number of U.S. utilities both in an effort tocomply with carbon reduction standards and for cost-cutting reasons. In the last few months alone, severalthousand megawatts of coal-generated capacity have been taken offline. The trend is similar in otherindustrialized countries, with a key exception.In the United States, Columbus, Ohio-based American Electric Power (AEP) has#ceased generation#at 10 of itscoal-fired plants across five states. Operations were halted in May at coal units in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky,Virginia, and West Virginia; combined, these units generated more than 5,500 MW. AEP intends to close twomore of its coal-fired plants in 2016 in Oklahoma and Texas. Similarly, PacifiCorp, the Berkshire Hathawaycontrolled utility operating in several Western states,#shut down two coal units#at its Utah Carbon Plant (172 MW)in April. Also, the company laid out plans to take nearly 3,000 MW of capacity offline by 2029. As part ofPacifiCorp"s long-term resource plans, the company expects to add more renewable energy resources, furtherreduce its use of coal, and meet most of its expected generation needs with increased energy efficiency over thenext decade.Read /07/01/coal-fired-power-plants/#374bc1b53b37!PAGE 6

VOLUME 24 NUMBER 4!JULY/AUGUST 2016BIRD OF THE MONTHBARN OWL - (Tyto alba)YES!! Another owl is “Bird of the Month”.How can we resist when BIEPA Memberskeep sending us wonderful photos recording their encounters with these enigmaticbirds on Bribie Island.Barn Owls are moderately common, butgenerally hard to see, as they are mostlyactive at night. During the day, the birdsroost on concealed tree branches, alone orin pairs. They are the most widespread andfamiliar of the owls. Barn Owls are mediumsized birds, with a 'heart-shaped' facialdisc. They have sandy orange and lightgrey upperparts and white to cream underparts. Both the back and breast are evenlyspotted with black. Birds often appearwhiter than normal when illuminated in carheadlights or torches. When threatened,the Barn Owl crouches down and spreadsits wings.Found throughout Australia, its distribution islimited only by habitat and food availability.The preferred habitat is open, often arid (dry)country, such as farms, heath and lightly woodedforest.Barn Owls feed mostly on small mammals, mainlyrodents, and birds, some insects, frogs andlizards. They hunt in flight, searching for prey onthe ground using their exceptional hearing. Theheart-shaped structure of the facial disc is uniqueto these types of owls (Tyto"species). The slightest sound waves are channelled toward the ears,allowing the owl to pinpoint prey even incomplete darkness.Barn Owls have no definite breeding season andtakes place mostly in response to food availabilityand often twice per year. The nest is normally ahollow in a tree, 15 - 25 metres above the ground.They also use caves or abandoned buildings. Thepale white eggs are laid at two-day intervals. Thefemale alone incubates the eggs, but both parentscare for the young. The young will perch in thevicinity of the nest site and be fed by the adultsfor a further month or so after leaving the nest.Listen to the Barn %20-%20CD%201%20%28May%202002%29.mp3Friday 5th August 2016 - 7pm to 11 pm - Mon Komo Hotel, 99 Marine Pde -Environmental-Forum-KOALA-GALA!PAGE 8
VOLUME 24 NUMBER 4!JULY/AUGUST 2016PRIVATE MARINA PLANS THREATEN TO DOWNGRADECABOOLTURE RIVER, DECEPTION BAY (Fish Habitat Area),MORETON BAY MARINE PARK andRamsar PROTECTED AREAS read on.View from footbridge over Caboolture RiverBruce Highway over Caboolture RiverABOUT THE CABOOLTURE RIVER !!Formed by runoff from the D"Aguilar Range, the Caboolture River rises below Campbells Pocket near OceanView and flows generally east, joined by two minor tributaries and flowing through Rocksberg, Caboolture andMorayfield before entering Deception Bay, part of Moreton Bay Marine Park, south of Beachmere. The riverdescends 262 metres (860#ft) over its 46-kilometre (29#mi) course.!!!!!The catchment area covers 468 square kilometres (181#sq#mi). There are no dams on the waterway, exceptfor a weir and the only major crossing is the Bruce Highway bridge. The Caboolture River is tidal for 19 kilometres(12#mi) upstream to the Caboolture Weir. At the river mouth a sand bar reduces the impact of tidal energy.!Increased urbanisation in the catchment is posing a significant environmental threat to the river, particularlyland clearing which is fragmenting pockets of forest. In the upper reaches this has led to stormwater and seweragerunoff that has created significant nutrient and sediment loads. Except for mangrove forests near the river's mouthmost of the riparian vegetation has been cleared. An upgrade at the Caboolture Sewerage Treatment plant hasreduced some pollution impacts. Upper parts of the catchment are protected with the D"Aguilar National Park.!Together with the Pine River and its tributaries, the Caboolture River is subject to episodes of flash floodingwhich can cause significant damage to public and private property throughout the catchment. Significant floodevents with major flooding were reported in 1967, 1972, 1974, 1989, 1991, 2010 and 2011.!!!!The Kabi indigenous people are the traditional custodians of the Caboolture River catchment area. Thename Kabultur is derived from the Yugarabul dialect meaning "place of the carpet snake". The Kabi peopleharvested bush food, fresh water mussels, oysters, fish, and some game animals, moving around the land to takebest advantage of seasonally-available produce.!!Because of the numerous shoals at its mouth the explorer John Oxley originally named the waterway theDeception River in 1823. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caboolture River!PAGE 9

VOLUME 24 NUMBER 4!JULY/AUGUST 2016THIS (abridged) ARTICLE REMAINS RELEVANT A DECADE ON.The Perils of Plastic AmnesiaMatthew Carmichael!01/11/2006Full article ste and recycling/268975/the perils of plastic amnesia.htmlConvenient, flimsy, costly, cynical, manipulative, wasteful, deadly.we'll never forget the plastic bag“Homo sapiens”, reasoned Dostoyevsky, is not an accurate description of the human race, because'sapiens' means wise or rational. Since it is in our nature to reject happiness and seek chaos we are irrational, and he proposed that we call ourselves the “ungrateful biped”.But even this damning label does not fully explain humanity's worst invention: the plastic carrier bag.Plastic bags certainly contribute to a degree of environmental chaos, but ask most shoppers and theywill maintain that supermarket carriers encourage a sense of order. They will use words such as 'handy','practical' and 'hygienic'. Ingratitude alone cannot explain the plastic bag. It is a phenomenon that canonly be accounted for by amnesia.Forgetfulness is the human characteristic responsible for the consumption of roughly 500 millionplastic bags annually, or a million a minute. Only three (now four!) decades have passed since the flimsycarrier was introduced to the world, but it will be another millennium before the first of these has degraded in its landfill site. Only a creature with an extraordinarily dim memory could create such a problem where none existed to start with.The invention of the plastic carrier bag was in the first place dependent upon forgetfulness.!.it was not invented to do anything new or better. The shopping carrier bag goes back at leastto ancient Egypt, when cotton was first spun and nothing has changed in 3,400 years. The modern, plastic version was a solution only for forgetfulness.Most retailers are very keen to overcome obstacles to your spending money in their shops.Us, being used? Oh, forget it.Our greatest talent as amnesiacs, though, must be for allowing our memories to slip regarding the environmental consequences. Plastic is an oil-based material. In a world where even George W Bush usesthe language of addiction, it is hard to be entirely ignorant of the negative impacts of this fossil fuel.Prospecting and drilling for it destroys fragile ecosystems. Controlling its supply encourages authoritarianism and war. And using it to make plastic produces chemical pollutants. In the US alone, an estimated12,000,000 barrels of oil are required to produce the 100 billion plastic bags used annually.Plastic bags have been found not just in your local park's trees and your favourite beach, but fromSpitzbergen (78 degrees North) to the Falklands (51 degrees South). According to David Barnes of theBritish Antarctic Survey, "they'll be washing up in Antarctica within the decade". (2016 it has llution-and-waste/pollution ) A filter-feeding minke whalewashed up in Normandy in 2002 with 800 kilograms of plastic bags and other packaging in its stomach. .Blights on the environment.plastic bags are duff. They split at the bottom. They snap at the top. They hurt your hands. You can'tcarry them on a bike. They won't stand on their own. Theyare the absolute epitome of the phrase 'cheap and nasty',making a job that was done effortlessly for aeons look difficult. It is beyond human imagination to invent a less impressive bag.Where progress has been made in reducing the environmental impact of plastic bags, it has had to be legislated for. In Ireland, a charge is levied which has resultedin a 95 per cent decrease in their presence in landfill. I'dfavour an Irish-style levy, since all it seems to take to overcome our collective amnesia is a gentle (5p) reminder,There is certainly a future for plastic bags - a thousandyears of it for the ones already buried - but it would be niceto think that it won't be much more than that. By that timethe amnesiac ape will surely have forgotten all about them.!PAGE 12
VOLUME 24 NUMBER 4!JULY/AUGUST 2016PLANTS OF THE MONTHDUNE PLANTSHibbertia scandensCarpobrotus glaucescenstusUpomoea pes-capraeOlearia RamulosaDUNES - NATURE#S COASTAL DEFENCEMost beaches are backed by vegetated sand ridges called dunes, built up by dry beach sandblown inland and trapped by plants and other obstructions. As sand accumulates, the dunes become higher and wider.Plants play a vital role in this process, acting as a windbreak and trapping the deposited sandparticles. A characteristic of these plants is their ability to grow up through the sand and continually produce new stems and roots as more sand is trapped and the dune grows.Stable sand dunes play an important part in protecting the coastline. They act as a buffer againstwave damage during storms, protecting the land behind from salt water intrusion. This sand barrier allows the development of more complex plant communities in areas protected from salt water inundation, sea spray and strong winds.The dunes also act as a reservoir of sand"to replenish and maintain the beach at times of erosion.!PAGE 13

Below is a link to Transition Towns located within Australia.The terms transition town, transition initiative and transition model refer tograssroot community projects that aim to increase self-sufficiency to reduce thepotential effects of peak oil,[1] climate destruction, and economic instability.[2]The Transition Network, founded in 2006, inspired the creation of many of the projects. A number of the groupshas officially registered with the organisation.[3] The first initiative to use the name was Transition Town Totnes,located in the United Kingdom. Transition initiatives have been started in locations around the world, with manylocated in the United Kingdom, Europe, North America and EH-Transition-Towns-Australia.htmlA Transition Initiative (which could be a town, village, university or island etc) is a community-led response to thepressures of climate change, fossil fuel depletion and increasingly, economic contraction. There are thousands ofinitiatives around the world starting their journey to answer this crucial question:“for all those aspects of life that this community needs in order to sustain itself and thrive, how do we significantlyrebuild resilience (to mitigate the effects of Peak Oil and economic contraction) and drastically reduce carbonemissions (to mitigate the effects of Climate Change)?” http://www.transitionbrisbane.org/about-2/!PAGE 14
