We'll be conducting UAV (drone) flights over the National Park rainforest, in the ...El Arish district to search for Miconia. Miconia is an invasive weed of rainforests in the Wet Tropics. It's a small tree with leaves up to 1 m long with a distinctive purple underside and three distinct veins that run lengthwise along the leaf. The UAV will be flying for 45-60 minutes at a time with a 30-minute changeover in between flights. A maximum of 6 flights will be conducted per day between 9:00AM and 3:30PM.

16.01.2022 FROM CONCRETE AND COUNCIL TO CANE PIC:MSF Sugar cane suppliers cousins Tony and Italo Curcio are hoping for a bumper 2020 harvest on their Yungaburra farms. With the 2020 cane crush starting at the Tableland Mill this week (2 June), Yungaburra cousins Tony and Italo Curcio are celebrating the decision they took seven years ago to diversify into sugarcane. ... Together with their families, the Curcio cousins today produce cane from some 60 hectares on their adjoining land holdings at Yungaburra, all while juggling off-farm jobs Tony has his own concreting business and Italo works in local government. We were real greenhorns as far as cane goes, but it was actually pretty simple to get into and I’m really happy how it’s worked out, Italo Curcio said. The Tableland Mill had these incentive schemes in place to help with the cash flow part of it, and they helped us with contractors who could do the ground preparation and planting, plus advice on things like varieties, fertilisers and weed control. The mill also helped us with forward pricing, which has become a really useful tool in managing the farming business. Tony and Italo’s story is not an uncommon one, says Tableland Mill’s Gary Murphy. We’ve got quite a few growers like Tony and Italo who’ve successfully converted under-utilised land to cane, Mr Murphy said. MSF is offering some really good incentives right now a $1,000 per hectare nonrepayable subsidy for new cane land, plus low-interest loans to help with establishing plant crops or maintaining ratoon crops. We’re small growers, so we’ve still got our day jobs, but it’s been a great experience and it’s helped us make good use of land that wasn’t doing much at the time, Tony Curcio said. Tableland Mill is scheduled to start crushing on June 2.

05.01.2022 Exotic pest oyster found in Far North Increased community surveillance and awareness of marine pests has led to the discovery of the exotic pest species, the black scar oyster (Magallana bilineata) in three Far North Queensland locations. Biosecurity Queensland General Manager John Robertson confirmed the oyster has been detected in Port Douglas, Cooktown and Cairns.... A commercial fisher cleaning his boat found some specimens in Port Douglas, while the population in Cooktown was detected by Indigenous Rangers trained in marine pest surveillance, Dr Robertson said. The Cairns detection was made during a university research survey and detected simultaneously through the Queensland Seaports eDNA Surveillance (Q-SEAS) marine pest detection program. These detections highlight the ongoing threat of marine pests and the importance of ongoing marine pest surveillance activities by the community and Queensland’s Q-SEAS marine pest detection program. Dr Robertson said Biosecurity Queensland is investigating the extent of the incursions to determine potential future control, monitoring or treatment measures. Black scar oyster has not been previously detected in Australian waters and little is known about this pest and its potential impacts in Queensland, he said. The national Consultative Committee on Introduced Marine Pest Emergencies (CCIMPE) has been notified of the detection and will provide advice to Biosecurity Queensland during the development of future management options. The black scar oyster fouls submerged and floating infrastructure including pylons, pontoons and boats with the ability to occupy disturbed habitats including shallow subtidal sites in quiet locations. The marine pest shares the traditional features of tropical oysters and is not distinguishable from its native counterparts in the early stages of life cycle. A mature black scar oyster can be identified by its distinctive size of up to 18cm in length which is much larger than native species. Boaties should maintain regular maintenance and cleaning of their vessel to prevent spreading the pest, by doing the following: apply antifouling paint clean boats in a dry dock or slipway (out of the water) look out for any attached pests check and clean gear including pots, nets, fishing or diving gear, anchors and ropes, before moving between locations. Everyone has a general biosecurity obligation (GBO) to take all reasonable and practical steps to minimise the risk of black scar oyster spreading. If you suspect black scar oyster or see a suspicious marine organism, please report it immediately to Biosecurity Queensland on 13 25 23.
