Erosion – Sand Bags Great Keppel Island is subject to erosion caused by serve weather storms and high tides. The erosion is clearly evident at Putney Beach where the eroded sand dunes are nearly reaching seaside buildings. The dunes and buildings are being protected by hundreds of sandbags that line the sand dunes edge. These bags are designed to prevent the shoreline from eroding away. Danger signs are also visible to highlight unauthorised areas. These unauthorised areas prevent people from causing greater damaged to the eroded dunes and most of all damage to themselves. No Anchoring Zones There are two no anchoring zones on Great Keppel Island including Monkey beach reef and Big Peninsula. The No Anchoring zones are installed as reefs within Keppel Bay are being affected by both coral bleaching and flooding. Unfortunately, some reefs in Keppel Bay are showing signs of anchor damage. The damage to the reef is minimised through implementing anchoring zones which helps to increase reef resilience (helping to keep the reefs healthy and strong). Fishing regulations and Snorkelling Rules Fishing is a popular recreation at Great Keppel Island. There is a vast variety of different marine life and coral reefs to explore. To protect marine life and coral reefs fishing regulations and snorkelling rules are implemented. Fishing regulations ensure that people only catch fish of the correct size and ensure they are aware of protected species. Snorkelling rules are enforced during the tours at Great Keppel Island. These snorkelling rules ensure people do not damage the coral reefs or marine life when participating in these tours.
