Our Ranger was lucky enough to attend Sea Spurge Biocontrol Information and Demonstration Day last weekend.

The event, featuring a presentation by Ben Gooden from CSIRO at Tootgarook Hall followed by a field demonstration at London Bridge, was a wonderful opportunity to engage with the community and explore the ecology, impacts and management of Sea Spurge. It was encouraging to see such strong interest in protecting our coastal environments and learning more about this emerging biocontrol program.

We acknowledge the support of the Mornington Peninsula Shire and Parks Victoria for their contribution to the day. This event was made possible through funding received by the Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network and Nepean Peninsula Landcare Group from Landcare Victoria Inc.

UPDATE on the H5 Bird Flu

DEECA confirmed on 15 August that H5 bird flu has been detected in a wild bird on the Mornington Peninsula in both Saint Andrews Beach and Dromana, along with confirmed cases on Phillip Island.

The foreshore managed by Capel Sound has not yet reported any positive cases, however dead birds have been found and reported.
We will be identifying reported dead birds with a flagged star-picket, if you see these marked on the beach, keep clear, keep moving and please keep your dog’s away.

What we’re asking of everyone using the foreshore:

- Avoid contact with sick or dead wild birds and the area around them. Do not touch them, do not move them and please don’t bring to the foreshore office.

- Always keep dogs on lead. A dog will reach a carcass before you can stop it and can carry the virus on its coat and paws.

- Record what you see: location, species, how many.

- Report it to call the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888 or online at https://forms.bio.vic.gov.au/wildlife-influenza...

Report any cluster of five or more sick or dead birds of any species. Report even a single sick or dead seabird, waterbird, shorebird, bird of prey, or marine mammal such as a seal or dolphin. DEECA assesses every report and decides whether testing is needed.

There have been no detections in poultry or livestock. Human infections are rare and come from close contact with infected birds, so keeping your distance is the whole strategy.

Thank you everyone for following this advice, please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. Our Rangers are monitoring the foreshore closely and are always about to have a chat.
