Weeds and Problems
Bushcare groups are tackling weed infestations. Weeds that have become a problem are Bitou Bush, Lantana, and Prickly Pear. There is also a substantial infestation of Groundsel Bush. Other less problematic weeds include Deadly Nightshade. Signs declaring the importance of plants in the reserve and the active work by Bushcare groups in tackling weeds and litter have been put up along the boardwalk at the southern entrance in 2007.
Littering has becomes a major problem here. At high tide or in flood conditions litter collects at the shore revealing the problem. Currently a plan is being made by council to stop this by using litter stoppers.
