Mangrove Cove

Prior to attempting any remediation of the Mangrove Cove mud flats, the appropriate
permissions must be sought. To collect reproductive material, either plugs of plants or
seed-containing wrack material, will require a permit from the Department for
Environment and Heritage. This applies whether the donor location is within private
ponds or on public land. Additionally, should private land be a prospective source of
reproductive material it is a condition of any permit issued by DEH that the
permission of the landholder is obtained, in writing.
Should an area of seagrass replanting be undertaken at Mangrove Cove, monitoring
should be performed as specified in the Monitoring Program of the management plan
for the reserve.
