PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 13 OCTOBER 2015
Project methodology
A series of ‘settlement structures’ were placed in key locations around the Noosa Estuary to
investigate oyster settlement rates over time.
The structures consisted of a series of tiles or plates (10cm x 10cm) made from concrete
sheeting which is a medium that mimics the surface on which oysters were known to settle
on in the Noosa Estuary, for example concrete bridge pylons.
These were then deployed at various sites in the Noosa Estuary and anchored at different
orientations (e.g. vertical and horizontal) and depths (intertidal and sub-tidal) – see Figures 1
and 2 below.
