Actions1. Recognise the importance of the -rive major habitat types in all managementoperations.2. Provide information on the marine biota as part of interpretation and educationprograms.3. Continue to refine management practices by researching and monitoring the basicecology and oceanographic processes in the Park. Approved research programs willbe authorised by permit.4. Ensure monitoring of fish populations receives a high priority in Park waters.Liaise with the Fisheries Department.5. Minimise detrimental effects of recreational and commercial use on major habitats,particularly the small area of high reef habitat, through appropriate promotion ofinformation and education, and enforcement of Park regulations.6. Develop and implement monitoring programs to determine the status of marinemammal populations in the Park and the possible influences of increasingrecreational use on those populations.17.0 TERRESTRIAL BIOTAVegetation in the coastal zone within the area is similar to that found elsewhere along the Perthmetropolitan coast. Generally, it comprises Spearwood Sands heath and Quindalup Dunes scrub. Thevegetation of the Spearwood Sands is a low, closed scrub, usually less than 1m high due to exposureand salt pruning. It is comprised of mat-like succulent plants, such as Carpobrotus or Tetragonium,and compact, closely branched shrubs such as Olearia or Angianthus. The Quindalup Dunes are themost recent dune system along the metropolitan coastline. The vegetation of the dunes consist ofsalt-tolerant colonisers such as Cakile maritima and Arctotheca populifolia, mat plants and spreadinggrasses such as Spinifix and Tetragonium, and bush scrubs such as Olearia and Scaevola.33
Little is known about past or present wildlife in the area, although enquiries of Government agenciesand interested organisations indicate that the area does not appear to contain any known threatenedspecies.It is now recognised that within the metropolitan area, coastal habitats are rapidly diminishing andthere are good reasons to conserve representative examples in sufficiently large areas to ensureviability of their fauna and flora.Several species of sea birds, including gulls, terns and cormorants, use the shore and offshore islandsas resting and/or breeding sites. Sea-lions are sometimes seen basking in the sun also. Some speciesof migratory birds are protected under international treaties signed by the CommonwealthGovernment. These treaties include: Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species(CITES); Japan-Australia Migratory Birds Agreement (JAMBA); and China-Australia MigratoryBirds Agreement (CAMBA).ActionLiaise with adjacent land managers to ensure remnant coastal biota are protected andmanaged in a manner complementary to Marine Park management.34
