Bay
Bucks Lake
GR wetlands,
sedgelands
and surrounds
Garden waste, weeds,
litter and pests from the
Carpenters Rocks dump
threaten conservation
values of the dunes.
Accelerating sea level
rise threatens to reduce
the sheltering effect of
the reef on the
Lighthouse Point
tombolo, leading to
rapid shoreline change
Projected increase in sea
level threatens storm
foredune damage and
beach recession in these
embayments. Beach
change may be rapid,
because of low storage
volumes of sand. Very
low to non-existent
dune elevations threaten
surge overtopping, and
rapid shoreline
recession.
High conservation value
habitat for birds,
reptiles and butterflies.
Also for the Swamp
Skink, Southern Bell
Frog and Yellowish
Sedge-skipper focal
species.
Variation in
temperature, rainfall and
groundwater pressure as
a result of climate
change will strongly
impact Bucks Lake
Fence nests/
community
monitoring
Raising community
awareness through
signage at major
beach access points
Relocate refuse
collection away from
the coast and
rehabilitate the site.
Maintain the coastal
aerial imagery time
series record to track
changes.
Establish beach
profile monitoring at
Bungaloo Bay, Bucks
Bay and Lighthouse
Bay, as baseline
information for
coastal change.
Fence the wetland
and sedge
communities?
Ensure continuing
flows from Lake
Bonney?
Gather further data
on habitat and fauna
and monitor health.
Careful monitoring of
habitat and water
quality (including
salinity and
turbidity)as the basis
for adaptive
management
(including sill
connection to Lake
Bonney).
