Biodiversity - the Barrow Island Story

Since 1964 Harry Butler has studied the processes that maintain biodiversity on Barrow Island and developed management systems to ensure these processes are not significantly modified.

Join Harry Butler as he presents the Barrow Island story, including a short term history of the island and more recent induced changes due to oilfield development and the protective environmental management systems established to protect fauna and flora. Harry will also discuss the management changes under the new approved Gorgon Project development with a prognosis for the future of the island's biodiversity.
