Summary
The aim of this project is to survey the current invertebrate fauna on Quail Island (including King Billy Island) and compare it with the fauna in similar habitat in close proximity such as Magnificent Valley in Orton Bradley Park. The survey also provides information on naming potential invertebrate candidates for reintroduction based on findings, and outlines habitat requirements.
