Ecosystems

Saltpan, mangroves, dunes, wetlands and swamps, vine forests and wallum heath are just some of the varied ecosystems of our region.

In 2009, the Fraser Coast, in addition to the Great Sandy Strait Ramsar Wetlands and K’gari (Fraser Island), was included in the designated Great Sandy Biosphere by the United Nations as part of their “Man and the Biosphere” program.
