We're making sure BIEPA members are happy to participate in our projects and proud to be members of Bribie Island's premier environmental organisation.
We are getting to grips with government planning systems, campaigning for improvements and challenging Development Applications that will have a significant detrimental impact on native habitat and wildlife on Bribie Island and surrounds.
BIO = Life BLITZ = To do something quickly and intensively
A BioBlitz is a united effort to discover and record as many living things or evidence of living things as possible, within a set location, over a given time period.
We raise community awareness of Bribie Island's threatened marine turtles and advocate for best-practice management of the island's nesting beaches and the surrounding Marine Park, to improve their protection.
We are demonstrating that growing beaches by planting on dunes and protecting them from pedestrian traffic is the most cost-effective and successful foreshore management practice in erosion prevention.
We work with local government to promote nature-based tourism as a way to protect nature on Bribie Island by making it a vital asset for local businesses.
We are partnering with OzFish and Healthy Land and Water to restore oyster reefs in Pumicestone Passage. OzFish is already running a successful shellfish reef restoration programme in Moreton Bay, so we are working with them to do the same in our Marine Park.
We are finding ways to encourage residents to make space for native plants in their gardens to encourage native wildlife to flourish, one garden at a time.
