Panboola is a thriving coastal wetland on the NSW Far South Coast, well known for its birdlife and saltmarshes. For the last three years, WRL has been assisting the NSW Government and local Pambula community in understanding ways to ensure the values provided by Panboola remain well into the future.
Clybucca Wetland is a 2,500 ha site that has been effected by acid sulfate soils and is prone to generating low-oxygen blackwater. Monitoring is required to establish baseline pre-rehabilitation conditions, as well as measure changes to the site following on-ground rehabilitation works.
Since 2004, WRL has been working in collaboration with project partners to transform the Tomago Wetlands site from a large acidic landscape into a restored productive tidal wetland. The wetland is being created to compensate for migratory wading bird habitat destroyed elsewhere in the lower Hunter River estuary.
