Under the Eastern Cape York Water Quality Improvement Plan one of the intended outcomes was to produce a set of guidelines that addresses Aquatic Ecosystem Protection for both the fresh and estuarine surface water bodies of the region. This Appendix (Appendix 9) addresses the need for those guidelines.
This risk assessment was developed to help gain scientifically accurate information regarding the land-based pollutants which pose the biggest threat to coral reefs and sea grass beds in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR).
This appendix provides a practical and economic assessment of various natural resource management methods developed to improve grazing practices on the Cape.
The importance of the natural environment can be expresssed in terms of its values: ecologoical, socio-cultural, and economic. Assigning monetary value to goods and services provided by ecosystems can be a great way ensure that the environment is carefully considered during regional planning processes.
The Environmental Resources Information Network (ERIN) was established as a program in the Commonwealth Environment Portfolio in 1989 to provide geographically related environmental inormation required for planning and decision making.
This report which compromises an aspect of the CYPLUS reporting gives an overview of the social structure and inherit obstacles in the way of community growth on the Cape York Peninsula.
This project report was published in 1995 as part of the CYPLUS reporting. It's pirpose was to make information of the fauna of the Cape York Peninsula readily available to those who required it or may require it in the future.
This report both details the distribution of particular conservation values across the Cape York Peninsula and also acts as a guide for the 40 GIS layers created during the CYPLUS conservation assessment. This was seen to eventually allow members of the public to focus on a specific location within the GIS such as their pastoral property.
This study was undertaken between July 1994 and Janurary 1995 as a project within the Land use Program of CYPLUS.
This report summarises information about the structure, floristic composition, and areal extent of the present vegetation on the Cape York Peninsula in 1994. In the report 21 structural formations in flora were recofnised, with woodland and its various subsidiaries being the most common and widespread formation.
