Brief description
Barrow Islands marine avifauna comprises at least 67 species, including 25 species of migratory shorebirds and 20 resident shorebirds. Barrow Island is both a staging site and an important non-breeding site for migratory shorebirds. The highest abundances of shorebirds on Barrow Island (over two thirds of records for most species) are associated with the south-eastern and southern coasts of the island, from the existing Chevron camp to Bandicoot Bay. The Development area does not contain critical shorebird habitat. Despite the presence of broad intertidal reef platforms adjacent to Town Point, only 1% of shorebirds on Barrow Island were observed foraging near the proposed Development area in 2003 and 2004.Lineage
