This project with the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority prioritised saltmarsh sites within Corner Inlet that would be suitable for protection under covenant. This work will be valuable in guiding our efforts toward increasing the area of protected saltmarsh habitats in Corner Inlet.
Four landowners placed covenants on their properties to permanently protect more than 72 ha of valuable coastal saltmarsh and associated habitats. With more than 1,100 ha of saltmarsh habitats occurring on private land within Corner Inlet, there’s still a lot of work to be done to permanently protect it.
