NICA has been selected by the Judging Panel as one of three Finalists in the inaugural Noosa Biosphere Awards – Water Category.
Award winners will be announced at a special ceremony as part of the Noosa Biosphere Wild Koala Gala to be held at Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas on Tuesday, 2 November.
NICA is a community-based not-for-profit organisation and the largest active participation community organisation in the region dedicated to the conservation and environmentally sustainable use of the Catchment. We thank all our members for their continued effort and commitment to environmental health of the Noosa River Catchment.
Two new scientific projects will contribute to the ecological health of the Noosa River system.
Get Your Wetlands, with OzFish, will raise awareness of riparian wetlands to highlight their ecological importance by mapping condition of littoral and riparian wetlands in the urbanised lower river. Priority sections in the lower Noosa River will be then restored and enhanced as Living Foreshores.
The Noosa River Oyster Gardening Programme, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy, is engaging residents and groups to host oyster baskets to raise juvenile oysters and help kick start ecosystem recovery.
