Coastal weeds severely threaten many important assets such as littoral rainforest remnants, now listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act as an endangered ecological community, and physical infrastructure such as walking tracks and picnic areas.
The Coastal Weeds Management Plan outlines a holistic approach to weed management to help reduce the spread and impacts of coastal weeds in the region - and ensure that one problem weed is not simply replaced by another!
The weeds targeted for control in the plan include glory lily (Gloriosa superba), asparagus ferns (Asparagus species), mickey mouse plant (Ochna serrulata), introduced morning glorys (Ipomoea species), umbrella tree (Schefflera actinophylla), winter and smooth senna / cassia (Senna species), turkey rhubarb (Acetosa sagittata), singapore daisy (Sphagneticola trilobata), painted spurge (Euphorbia cyathophora) and mossman river grass (Cenchrus echinatus). |
