The global community is acting via the Paris agreement to stabilise and reduce GHG to limit the increase in global average temperature and in turn will reduce the number of extreme weather events. We all need to play a part to fix the problem, and there are solutions.
Protecting wetlands is one of the keys to coping with climate change. We are not powerless against climate change. Wetlands help us prepare for, cope with and bounce back from the impacts of climate change. Wetlands come in a variety of forms. Locally we have been protecting and expanding the small wetland remnants at Carey Bay, a Swamp-Oak Forest. Wetlands also include mangroves and seagrasses.
The Carey Bay Wetland acts like a sponge absorbing floodwaters during storms, if you walk through it you’ll realise how wet it stays long after the rains have left. Wetlands naturally absorb and store carbon; they are the most effective carbon sinks on Earth.
We also have seagrass meadows along our foreshore acting as a buffer from extreme weather, reducing the intensity of waves and storm surges. Seagrasses also absorb carbon 35times faster than rainforests. Do you have an environmentally friendly mooring that protects our seagrass beds? Want to help the planet…one mooring at a time?
Would you like to fortify your foreshore? Casuarinas are nature’s own shock absorbers, these whispering warriors are prepared to be the front line of defence against storm surges and offer property protection. If you’re noticing your foreshore eroding the CPPA is growing some Casuarinas from locally collected seed and we can put one aside for you to help protect your water frontage.
