Brief description

Sightings for dugongs, cetaceans and turtles in Hervey Bay area during the dugong aerials surveys in April and November 2001.

Full description

In response to an outbreak of the potentially toxic algae Lyngbya over the eastern banks of Moreton Bay in March 2000, a series of aerial surveys was planned to asses the effects of future outbreaks on the distribution and abundance of dugongs and other megafauna in Moreton Bay. The series of surveys showed no indication in terms of numbers or distribution to indicate that Lyngbya was affecting the distribution or abundance of dugongs.
