Name | Type of threat | Priority actions
Show only: high | medium | low priority | | Alteration of habitat following subsidence due to longwall mining | Habitat loss/change | 1. Examine the effects of subsudence from longwall mining on priority ecosystems including streams, wetlands and threatened species, populations and ecological communities. (High priority)
See all priority actions for this KTP. |
| Alteration to the natural flow regimes of rivers, streams, floodplains & wetlands. | Habitat loss/change | 1. Determine impacts of altered flow regimes on marine and terrestrial biodiversity, with reference to structures affecting flow, mechanisms that affect flow and affected threatened species and communities. (High priority)
2. Identify mechanisms for abatement of impacts, e.g.. Weirs removals program, causeway and culvert modification, habitat rehabilitation, instigation of ecological flows. (High priority)
