Calls for Torres Strait Islands to prepare detailed climate change plan to combat projected sea rise

Posted on by

Rising seas around the Torres Strait Islands could leave part of the region uninhabitable within a few decades, a report warns.

The Torres Strait Regional Authority created a climate change strategy to prepare for the possibility that some of the region's islands would be inundated by projected sea level rises of between 50 and 100 centimetres over the next century.

Chairman Joseph Elu said fresh water supply and housing were also under threat.

"Some of our islands are fairly low lying and communities are built on the foreshores," he said.

"With the predictions that are being made now, they will all be under water in 100 years.

"But obviously the high tides that are happening this time of year, some of them are being inundated now."

Mr Elu said a joint federal and state government project rebuilding sea walls around six of the region's inhabited islands was helping, but a more comprehensive plan for the region's future was needed.

"On a couple of our islands the tides rise over the sea walls onto the beachfront and it flows under the houses and out the other end," he said.

"The strategy at the moment is to try and save the infrastructure that is there now, which means trying to raise sea wall levels.

"But in the long run there has to be a long-term plan that we'll hopefully develop in the next few months."

'Year of the biting fly' brings wild weather and breaks wildlife records

Posted on by

A record number of migrating seabirds visited the North East thanks to this years topsy turvy weather, the National Trust has revealed.

Thousands of little gulls - a type of seagull - descended on the Farne Islands in Northumberland in October, according to the charitys annual round-up of the year in nature.

The birds, which nest in Eastern Europe, were pushed south by stormy weather over the North Sea, it is thought.

Rangers on the National Trusts Farne Islands Blog wrote: The dainty little gull is generally a summer visitor to the British Isles with the nearest breeding colonies in Eastern Europe. In recent days the Farne Islands have experienced an unprecedented passage of these fantastic gulls with record numbers recorded.

The majority of the birds have been adults and the count of 2,184 on October 10 eclipses the previous highest ever island count of 1,747 on October 14, 2002.

Why weve had so many remains unclear although recent weather systems across the North Sea have probably pushed birds into the Southern North Sea.

Rangers recorded 170 of the birds on the North Island on October 8 this year, 82 on October 9, then 2,184 - a new record - on October 10 and 791 on October 11.

The changing weather was attributed to the changing climate.

National Trust nature and wildlife specialist Matthew Oates said: The greatest challenge for wildlife this year, and perhaps a sign of things to come, was the extreme weather.

This, combined with the loss of habitat, means that nature is in for a bumpy ride in the years ahead as shown by the rollercoaster that many species endured in 2014.
