The ecological significance of saltmarshes to the Peel-Harvey Estuarine system. In: McComb, A.J., Kobryn, H.T. and Latchford, J.A. (eds) Samphire marshes of the Peel-Harvey estuarine system Western Australia.
No full textThe saltmarshes of the Peel-Harvey system are important to the environmental health of the estuary and to this region of the Swan Coastal Plain. Although there have been few scientific investigations specific to this area, a number of world-wide studies on the ecological characteristics of saltmarshes have indicated they are very important to the environmental health of estuaries and coastal ecosystems (Mann, 1982; Kennish, 1990). Unfortunately, there is a paucity of studies on Australian saltmarsh ecosystems (Fairweather, 1990). However, in a local context there is evidence that saltmarshes in the Peel-Harvey system are critical to the overall ecological health of the Estuary (Table 6.1). For example, over 83 bird species have been observed in the saltmarshes of the estuary (Ninox, 1990) (Plate 6.1) and between 18 and 25 of these species are known to be trans-equatorial migrants (Jaensch et al., 1988; Wilkes, 1990). This provides the basis for listing the whole Peel-Harvey Estuarine area as a RAMSAR bird treaty area as well as for the estuary being listed in the JAMBA and CAMBA treaties.
The area is also significant for other ecological reasons which will be briefly outlined, along with the major ecological points suggested in the previous chapters, and compared with data and literature generated from saltmarsh research elsewhere in the world. In this way it is hoped that a better appreciation of the ecological significance of the saltmarshes in the Peel-Harvey Estuary will be reached
The significance of saltmarshes. In: McComb, A.J., Kobryn, H.T. and Latchford, J.A. (eds) Samphire marshes of the Peel-Harvey estuarine system Western Australia.
No full textSaltmarshes are complex ecosystems. Numerous studies have been undertaken on them in different parts of the world, mostly in the northern hemisphere. A few previous studies have been made of the marshes of the Peel-Harvey System (Rose & McComb, 1980; Backshall & Bridgewater, 1981; McComb & Lukatelich, 1986) but increased pressure for development, and the need for an understanding the possible effects of the then proposed Dawesville Channel highlighted the lack of information about saltmarshes in the area. This report endeavours to addresses this lack of information by presenting recent research into the extent, composition and functioning of the Peel-Harvey saltmarshes

The Harvey Penick Papers, 1899-2012 (Finding Aid)
No full textHarvey Penick was an Austin institution who served the Austin Country Club in some capacity from 1912 until 1995. From 1912 to 1923 he caddied. In 1923 he became the head professional right out of high school. He remained the pro until retiring in 1971, when his son, Tinsley, took over the position. Harvey Penick continued as the golf pro emeritus from 1971 until he passed away in 1995. He taught many famous golf pros including Ben Crenshaw, Betty Jameson, Tom Kite, Sandra Palmer, Betsy Rawls, Kathy Whitworth and Mickey Wright. His gentle manner and forever positive attitude about golf and life endeared him to his many friends and pupils. He became nationally and world famous when he penned The Little Red Book with author Bud Shrake in 1992. That book of golf tips and stories became the biggest selling sports book of all time and was followed up with three more
