A coastline is a living edge — where dunes hold beaches together, wetlands filter water, mangroves shelter fish nurseries, shorebirds gather to rest, turtles return to nest, and communities meet the sea. We know that managing this edge well is critical to protecting species and repairing nature. The real question is: does Queensland’s new Coastal Management Plan 2026 give Moreton Bay the settings and policy direction it needs — and will that direction now be turned into actio

Healthy shark and ray populations are one of the clearest signs of a fully-functioning marine ecosystem. They help regulate food webs, connect habitats as they move through the seascape, and influence the structure, balance and abundance of marine life. Moreton Bay is home to remarkable nature. For elasmobranchs — sharks and rays — it’s a globally significant gathering place for species such as mantas, leopard sharks and guitarfish. The Moreton Bay Foundation’s sedimentation

Each year, Moreton Bay’s mudflats follow an ancient rhythm of migration. For part of the year, they are alive with migratory shorebirds feeding and resting after their long journey south.

It is a place of deep cultural connection, community identity, and shared responsibility. The
