Photos documenting coastal changes welcome for research
Published on 08 February, 2013
CQUniversity Research Fellow Dr Alison Jones is working on a project looking at the past 100 years of settlement in Central Queensland and effects on our marine environment.
"I'm seeking photos of marine environments including mangroves, oyster beds, coral reefs and beaches from which the location can be easily identified or else the photographer can identify the location themselves," Dr Jones says.
"The photos should preferably be located between Rodd's Bay and Stanage Bay. In particular I would like to obtain copies of photos of coral reefs taken at low tide showing the coral cover but am also interested in other marine life like oyster beds and mangroves and seagrasses."
Dr Jones would welcome photos of this kind that might contribute to a better understanding of the effects of European settlement on our reefs and marine ecosystems.
