PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE THIS PETITION.
Or LOOSE ACCESS TO THE BEACH.
NO 4X4 vehicle on turtle strikes have been recorded, baby turtles hatch at night and scurry to the sea at first light in the morning, no run over turtles have been found.
INCREASING
We all love turtles, BIEPA Environmental Group don't want people knowing:
4x4's are and have remained on the beach, their own admissions are, turtle nesting numbers on Bribie have increased, from 5 in 2016 to approximately 11 over the last 4 years to 2020, thats 120% INCREASE, nesting on the 34km of Ocean Beach Bribie Island, which is clearly not a preferred nesting beach, unlike Mon Repos near Bundaberg.
SURVIVAL
The survival rate is 1 in 10,000 baby turtles, don't forget many people eat turtle as a normal part of the diet.
OUR TURTLES JOURNEY
Our turtles travel by sea current, from here to Port Macquarie, then catch a current that carries them to the West Coast of South America, they then catch a north bound current and arrive at New Caledonia, Fiji or Vanuatu waters, this journey takes 20 years before the females are ready to nest at the same beach they originally hatched at.
BABY TURTLE S*X FACTORS
The nesting sand temperature on our beach controls the s*x of baby turtles (much like bush turkey mounds) we may only produce predominently male turtles, male turtles don't come back to nest.....????
AVID ATTENBOROUGH
World renowned respected environmentalist David Attenborough announced turtle numbers are increasing.
KEEP THE BEACH OPEN
The 4x4's have been on the beach for decades, education of the public has work our turles numbers are increasing.
Turtle killers
The Environmentalist would have everyone believe 4x4 people are barbarians who kill adult and baby turtles this is outlandish and simply untrue, there is not one shread of evidence to support their claims.
ABORIGINAL ARTIFACTS
Some of my closest friends are respected Aboriginal Kabbi Karri people and we don't doubt that Aboriginal items are found periodically throughout Australia but to close the beach is a joke, Sandstone Point is more of a sacred site, where was BIEPA then????
BIEPA ENVIRONMENTALIST will stop at nothing to close the beach, they are not concerned about Aboriginal artifacts, they'll use whatever they can without providing a shred if evidence.
OTHER WILDLIFE
The Sea Eagles are in larger than ever numbers, the Oyster Birds, Goannas, Kangaroos and Wallabies are in abundance. But BIEPA blindly says they're in decline, these idealists have got no idea on the beach.
SIGN AND SHARE THIS PETITION TO KEEP YOUR BEACH OPEN and STOP BIEPA'S FARCE
Keep Bribie National Park/Beach OPEN
