Just south of Ardrossan on the Yorke Peninsula lies Windara礁 – the first shellfish restoration project-of-its-kind in South Australia.

与当地土著居民与海洋国家的联系相呼应, Windara – the Narunnga name for the eastern area of the region where it’s located – is designed to restore natural capital, 创造更健康的环境和更人性化的使用价值.

大自然保护协会(TNC), 澳大利亚政府, 南澳大利亚政府, 约克半岛议会, RecFish SA和阿德莱德大学, Windara礁 is Australia’s largest-ever reef reconstruction project – and 正规博彩十大网站排名 served as TNC’s lead engineer for the second stage of its construction, 将珊瑚礁扩大到20公顷.

为未来重建自然首页

担任TNC首席工程师, 正规博彩十大网站排名 developed the numerical modelling and the engineering design for the construction of the 20-hectare Stage 2 reef expansion. Shellfish reefs once occurred naturally in bays and estuaries along Australia’s southern coastline but have largely disappeared due to exploitation.

新的好处, restored shellfish reef include improved water quality (due to the filtration powers of oysters), 渔业生产力的提高, 更高的生物多样性和休闲钓鱼的新机会. 

Windara礁 will also bring economic and social benefits to the nearby Yorke Peninsula communities through the creation of new jobs and increased opportunities for marine industries. 2018年12月竣工, 二期施工铺设10层,000 tonnes of reef base that will be seeded with more than seven million juvenile Australian Flat Oysters. The young oysters will be pre-seeded onto recycled oyster shells by local oyster farmers and hatcheries.
