Abstract

[Extract] North Queensland Bulk Ports (NQBP) is looking to move the placement of its current Dredge Material Placement Area (DMPA) in the Port of Weipa (Figure 1). The movement of this area into deeper water is to provide for greater under keel clearance for dredge vessels and to provide additional long term storage capacity. To ascertain information relevant to both Commonwealth and State (Queensland) approval requirements, North Queensland Bulk Ports (NQBP) commissioned the Seagrass Ecology Group at the Centre for Tropical Water and Aquatic Ecosystem Research (TropWATER), James Cook University to conduct marine macrophyte survey within the area covered by the new DMPA. Specifically TropWATER examined the extent of marine plants (seagrass and macro-algae) growing within the footprint of the proposed DMPA.
