Vegetation Management Plan East Ulverstone Coastal Reserve July 2010
coastal erosion are impinging on this narrow coastal scrub. Native shrubs are generally healthy and regenerating, although there is a need to fill gaps in the vegetation, widen it, and increase the diversity of native plants. 3.2.2 Saltmarsh Tiny patches of saltmarsh occur around Fish Pond, where they are sheltered by rocks and inundated occasionally by high tide. These patches are dominated by Beaded Glasswort, Southern Seablite and Shrubby Glasswort (as well as the weedy Creeping Orache) so are “succulent saline herbland� (Tasveg code ASS), a type of saltmarsh. Other plants to be found in these patches include Australian Saltgrass and Coast Speargrass on the inland edge. These saltmarsh patches are in good condition, and should be left alone. However, they may benefit from removal of Creeping Orache.
