We learnt three of these, but will only be required to
do one in the test. These are also on pages 150-153 in
the text book.

- ‘St. John sling’ for injured shoulder or

- Collar and cuff sling for upper arm fracture or

Pollution and Management
To be entirely honest, I’m hoping this test is all
common sense. But here is a quick review on water
testing and what results can mean, plus a quick
review of the main subjects people did for their
assignments.

Definitions:
Eutrophication: This is when fertilisers or other organic wastes provide too much food for bacteria and
they overgrow, like blue green/cyanobacteria. During the night when no photosynthesis occurs, they
produce mass amounts of carbon dioxide, creating carbonic acid which acidifies the water, dropping the
pH. AND ALL THE FISH DIE ARGH.
Q-Value: The value assigned by the calculations from the nine water tests that can be used for
comparison, where 100% is excellent, 50% is medium quality and <25% is poor quality.
 The Biochemical Oxygen Demand (or BOD) is a measure of the amount of food for bacteria
that is found in water. This is the test we had to leave in the cupboard for a week. Bacteria
utilize organic matter in their respiration and remove oxygen from the water. The BOD test
provides a rough idea of how much biodegradable waste is present in the water.
(Biodegradable waste is usually composed of organic wastes, including leaves, grass clippings,
and manure. So if the water has a high BOD, it is susceptible to eutrophication and
POLLUTION ARGH.

Temperature is very important because it affects the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water.
The hotter the water, the less dissolved oxygen and vice versa. FISH DIIIIEEEEEE.

Dissolved oxygen is at it’s highest at the surface of the water, in cold conditions and in fresh
water. If there is low dissolved oxygen, fish can drown. YES THATS RIGHT FISH CAN DROWN.

Faecal Coliform is form of bacteria found in human and animal waste. It is bad because it
carries nutrients that can feed bacteria and encourage eutrophication. KILLING FISH.

Phosphates and Nitrates also are nutrients found in fertilisers that can contribute to
eutrophication. WHICH KILLS FISH.

Turbidity is a measure of how clear the water is. This is important because if the water is too
cloudy plants living on the bottom cannot photosynthesise. This can destroy a food chain and
KILL FISH.

Seagrass
Main Impacts: Weather and sediments from
Mary River, and pollution (esp. from the
Marina.)
Why it is important: Supports local fisheries,
main food source for dugong and sea turtles.
How we can help: Don’t pollute the marina,
and don’t dump fertilisers and pesticides.
Make a poster.
Dugong
Main Impacts: Seagrass die off, boat strike
and rape by sex hungry pirates.
Why it is important: Part of the food chain.
How we can help: Don’t pollute and slow
down in seagrass areas to watch out for
dugong. You could also make a poster if you
want.

Turtles
Main Impacts: Light pollution when nesting,
litter, boat strike, feral predators and crab
pots.
Why it is important: Local attraction and part
of the environment. Also a threatened
species.
How we can help: Don’t dump litter and
slow down in seagrass areas to avoid boat
strike. Use turtle friendly crab pots and don’t
pollute. Maybe even make a poster.
Mangroves
Main Impacts: Old rubbish dump at Eli
creek, clearing and pollution.
Why it is important: Supports the fisheries
and is a fish breeding site.
How we can help: Don’t pollute, and maybe,
just maybe if you feel up to it make a poster.
