These
estuarine wetlands are situated in the Lower Manning Catchment, 35km north
east of Taree and contain SEPP 14 wetlands. They are hydrologically and
biologically connected to the nationally listed Crowdy Bay National Park
wetlands and are surrounded by farmland.
The project is aimed
at wetland protection and rehabilitation, Acid Sulphate soil remediation
and floodplain management of the Cattai Creek/Coopernook Creek area.
A proposed Interpretive
Field Studies centre is a major aim of the project along with regular
engagement of the community in on ground works.
