    Marine Plant Assessment Dogs Beach, Noosa Spit Recreation Reserve                                     13
    Conclusion




5          Conclusion
           Dogs Beach is a highly dynamic foreshore zone dominated by dune woodland. The eroding dune
           scarp along most of the study site is not considered to support high fisheries values. However, the
           works may impact on sparse marine plants, including, mangroves, saltcouch and saltmarsh and may
           occur on lands mapped below HAT and MHWS. The proposal will not directly impact on the Noosa
           River FHA. Further investigation may be required to assess potential impacts on sub-tidal marine
           plants associated with the western groyne. Provided environmental controls addressing vegetation
           protection, restoration and monitoring are implemented, it is anticipated direct impacts on marine
           plants can be minimised and habitats similar to pre-disturbance conditions can be restored.
