Queensland restores tidal wetlands by letting the sea back in
Conservation groups, graziers and Yuwi traditional owners are removing decades-old tidal barriers across coastal Queensland, reconnecting wetlands to the ocean and rapidly reviving native ecosystems. On one Mackay cattle property, juvenile barramundi returned within months; at Cape Palmerston, restored saltwater flows killed off 80% of invasive grasses.
