Lake Gore, is one of two RAMSAR wetlands on the South Coast of WA, is recognised  to have internationally significant values.

However this valuable environmental assest facea a range of threats including:

• Land management practices

• Erosion and sedimentation

• Poor water quality

• Invasive species

• Altered hydrology

• Lack of community understanding.

If unmanaged these threats will influence RAMSAR status. This project addresses priority threats through implementing a suite of on ground actions identified in management plans and strategies for these sites and adjacent landscapes.

This project operates on two landscape scales:

• Within RAMSAR sites: focusing on control of invasive species

• Within adjoining landscapes: focusing on improving soil management and increasing uptake of NRM, and increasing the community’s understanding of these two internationally significant areas.
