Seabirds of Hinchinbrook
Seabirds use extensive areas of the Hinchinbrook Planning Area and are especially dependent on the beaches, foreshores and vegetation of adjacent islands for breeding and roosting, many of which are on national park islands.
Seabirds are susceptible to disturbance from human activity, including noisy or intrusive activities and inappropriate visitor behaviour.
For these reasons it is imperative that activities adjacent to the significant bird sites are managed to have limited impact on the residential birds. There are currently eight significant bird sites that have been identified and have visitor restriction periods.
