NRM South are working to build back biodiversity at two internationally important wetlands on Tasmania’s east coast through improved monitoring and management to reduce threats to the wetlands and restore its natural flows.
Moulting Lagoon and Apsley Marshes are Ramsar-listed wetlands that are recognised for their rich diversity of plants (including threatened saltmarsh) and as important habitat for waterbirds and fish. Across the wetlands, 114 hectares of saltmarsh habitat is now being positively influenced by the hydrological restoration works, well in excess of the project target of 64 hectares.
