Australia: 4WDs and Beach Ecosystem Damage - Queensland Study


Listen Later

global study, highlighted in an ABC News report, reveals that four-wheel drive vehicles are causing significant harm to beach ecosystems worldwide. Led by a University of the Sunshine Coast researcher, the study found no safe level of beach driving, with vehicles crushing invertebrate life and damaging dunes, prompting calls for bans or severe restrictions, particularly in Queensland. While some groups advocate for continued access and conduct clean-ups, conservationists detail the devastating impact on wildlife, including nesting turtles. The Queensland government acknowledges the concerns but seeks a balance between environmental protection and recreational access.
