註釋Glenshera Swamp, within Stipiturus Conservation Park, is one of the most important remnants of a nationally threatened ecological community - the Swamps of the Fleurieu Peninsula. The site has managed to retain a suite of important biodiversity values, despite attempts over a 50 year period (up to its reservation in 2003) to make the area more suitable for agricultural production through drainage, clearance and grazing activities.Consistent with a current trend of growing concern surrounding the availability and sustainable management of water resources in the Adelaide and Mt Lofty Ranges NRM region, there is considerable interest in the eco-hydrology Glenshera Swamp. With this in mind, Nature Glenelg Trust was asked to undertake an assessment of the site for DEWNR, to review the feasibility of different hydrological restoration options, with a goal of ensuring the future sustainability of the wetland ecosystem.The assessment, which occurred from September 2015 until January 2016, involved: site visits, LiDAR and aerial imagery acquisition, historical research, and, detailed discussions with a wide range of people that have an intimate knowledge of the site. The work culminated in the production of this report with six key recommended on-ground actions for proposed implementation, with the first (inexpensive) step proposed being the installation of trial structures to reinstate surface flows to the swamp in time for winter 2016.This project is a detailed and complex case study, ideal for exploring the logic of different hydrological restoration methods on public land, with broad application to those interested in improving modified wetland ecosystems elsewhere.
