Research

Our research informs wildlife management within Phillip Island Nature Parks and helps us understand and respond to threats to Phillip Island’s wildlife.

Phillip Island Nature Parks’ research team is an authority on little penguins, seals and other seabirds. Our research program is diverse in scope, covering both terrestrial and marine domains. Its functions include producing evidence-based information to guide the development of policy and wildlife management programs specific for Phillip Island, and with application regionally and internationally. We also work closely with universities and other research organisations and supervise numerous Honours, Masters, PhD students and Post Docs each year.

One microchip = $10

Phillip Island Nature Parks has a world-class penguin research centre offering an outstanding environment for scientific investigation. Research plays an important role in protecting the little penguin population on Phillip Island for over 50 years. As penguins spend 80% of their time at sea but have to return to land to breed, our penguin research includes studies on land and at sea.

Research at sea

Using gadgets like fitbits (accelerometers), penguin "go pro" cameras (underwater camera), video games (ecosystem modelling) and toll gates (weighbridges) especially designed for penguin use, we are exploring ways to protect penguin food supply at sea while protecting their nesting groups and surrounding environment to ensure the future of little penguins at Phillip Island.

GPS tracking

A challenge for little penguin conservation and management is to understand where penguins spend most of their time – the sea – and potential threats in the ocean environment.
During the penguin breeding season, Phillip Island Nature Parks’ researchers track little penguins to find out where they are fishing. The satellite tracking showed that most of Phillip Island’s little penguins fed within 50 kilometres of the Phillip Island colony. Some penguins over winter have been tracked heading west towards Portland in Victoria or into Port Phillip Bay near Melbourne city.

Finding the feeding hotspots of Little penguins - ARC* project

Penguins are top predators that are sensitive to ecosystem variations that could result from environmental changes. This research aims to provide fine-scale data to monitor marine prey abundance in relation to environmental changes and is an important step to monitor the future of Little Penguins in the rapidly changing marine system of south-eastern Australia.

 The innovation in this project lies in the synergy of combined latest techniques summarised in this figure. We are examining simultaneously where penguins go, how much food they eat and what prey they eat, and then determine their foraging hot spots, a tool to improve penguin conservation at sea.

Research on land

By the 1980s nine of Phillip Island’s ten penguin colonies had become extinct.
Population studies of Phillip Island’s little penguins in the 1980s showed that land-based threats such as habitat destruction from housing development, traffic through the penguin colony at night, fire and domestic pets were having a significant impact on Phillip Island’s last remaining penguin colony. Predictions from the impact of such threats suggested the Penguin Parade would be wiped out by the late 1990s.
In response to the research, the Penguin Protection Program was initiated and the Victorian State Government began buying back homes in the Summerland Estate, located in Phillip Island’s last remaining penguin colony on the Summerland Peninsula.
The extensive conservation work undertaken since the 1980s has resulted in an increase in little penguin numbers from 12,000 in the mid-1980s to an estimated 32,000 in the present day.
Research into little penguin threats continues, including investigating the threat of pests such as foxes and the impacts of climate change. 

Population counts

Every night at the Penguin Parade rangers count the number of little penguins crossing the beach. The average number of beach crossings per year at the Penguin Parade can then be calculated, providing an insight into potential changes in population numbers. Please note we are currently working on updating these graphs to include the latest data.

Breeding success

The breeding success of Phillip Island’s little penguins is monitored at study sites across the colony. The average number of chicks fledged per breeding pair is estimated each year.

Our Coastal Bird Research teams track and monitor the health of a wide variety of bird species across Phillip Island (Millowl), with a priority focus on the incredibly vulnerable hooded plovers. Hooded plovers ‘hoodies’ (Thinornis cucullatus) are shore-nesting birds and are well adapted to life on the beach. However, the southern coast of Australia has been radically altered over time by weeds and other human-introduced threats. Hooded plovers are one of Australia’s most vulnerable birds and are protected wildlife under state and federal legislation.

The hooded plover is just one species of beach nesting bird that requires active management to maintain a viable population. Apart from little penguins and short-tailed shearwaters, we have pied and sooty oystercatchers, red-capped plovers, crested and fairy terns, as well as three species of gull.

Hooded plovers breed on some of Phillip Island’s most popular beaches. Threats to hooded plovers and other beach-nesting birds mostly impact the birds’ ability to breed successfully. The birds are easily disturbed by human activities on beaches, and as a result, many eggs are lost to dogs, feral cats or accidentally trampled by beach users. 

Data on nest and chick loss is gathered each year to build a picture over time of preventable and unpreventable causes. In most years 50% of loss was unknown and a large proportion was from severe weather and high tides.

Phillip Island (Millowl) is home to approximately 40 hooded plovers. Less than 600 of the birds are thought to live in Victoria and they are internationally recognised as a threatened species. Phillip Island Nature Parks has been monitoring the Phillip Island hooded plover population since the 1980s through nest records and leg banding. The population is slowly increasing after many years of hard work from our local community, volunteers, our research and conservation teams, and the assistance of the local community to share our shores with wildlife.

Management actions to reduce nest and chick loss by preventable causes has a wholistic approach and includes, formalising beach access, pest plant and animal control, pest harbour removal, preventing illegal camping and fires, rubbish removal and enforcing dog regulations.

You can make a difference:

·       Stay close to the water’s edge (and away from habitat)

·       Observe signs and keep clear of protected and fenced areas

·       Observe current dog regulations and keep dogs on leads and away of breeding zones

Phillip Island Nature Parks dog walking regulations are designed to allow dog walking in some areas of the Nature Parks while upholding the Nature Parks statutory obligation to protect wildlife under legislation such as the EPBC Act 1999, Flora and Fauna Guarantee amendment Act 2019 and Wildlife Act 1975. Failure to abide by regulations can constitute a breach of the Wildlife Act.

Phillip Island - Saving Eastern Barred Bandicoots

There are two subspecies of Eastern barred bandicoot (EBB), one that calls Tasmania home, and one that lives on the mainland. And until recently, the mainland Eastern barred bandicoot was declared extinct in the wild. But through the hard work of some dedicated conservation teams, the mainland Eastern barred bandicoot is back from the brink.

Eastern barred bandicoots live a solitary, secretive life foraging in open grasslands at night and resting in a shallow, cryptic nest during the day, usually in areas containing trees or shrubs. They are difficult to spot and the only sign of their presence is their small foraging digs.

Sadly, while they could originally be found all over South Australia and Victoria, their numbers declined rapidly due to European settlement. Most of their population loss was due to the loss of native grasslands, and because of introduced predators such as foxes. Due to these massive losses, the Eastern barred bandicoot was eventually declared as extinct in the wild. However, dedicated teams set out to make a difference, and their work saved a species.

Watch a VIDEO of the release here.  

Back from the Brink

Numerous groups got together to formulate the Eastern barred bandicoot (EBB) Recovery Team who executed a plan to help save the Eastern barred bandicoot. This included Conservation Volunteers Australia, Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP), National Trust of Australia (Victoria), Parks Victoria, Phillip Island Nature Parks, the University of Melbourne, Tiverton Rothwell Partnering and Zoos Victoria.

Together, this group captured 42 Eastern barred bandicoots from the wild and took them into captivity with Zoos Victoria in 1988. From these 42 animals, just 19 successfully contributed to the breeding program.

In initial efforts to return the Eastern barred bandicoot to the wild, eight reintroduction sites were established on the mainland. Of these eight sites, three are home to breeding bandicoots today, with others failing primarily due to predation by foxes. Maintaining fox free areas on the mainland is extremely expensive and time consuming so as an alternative the recovery team started looking at fox-free islands, such as Phillip Island, as an alternative.

Our Island Home

In 2015 a trial release of 20  Eastern barred bandicoots was conducted on Churchill Island, a small fox, cat and rabbit free Island off the north-east of Phillip Island. This trial served to evaluate the suitability of local conditions and to demonstrate to the community what they might expect from an EBB release on Phillip island. This population increased to approximately 120 individuals in 2 years and has stabilised around this number.

“The trial release on Churchill Island demonstrated that Eastern barred bandicoots can successfully establish in island environments and have positive impacts such as reduced soil compaction, and improved nutrient and water infiltration, with no observed negative effects, and has given us the confidence to release them on Phillip Island,” said Richard Hill, Chair of the Eastern Barred Bandicoot Recovery Team.

When Phillip Island's fox eradication program was declared a success in 2017 this provided the perfect home for the Eastern barred bandicoot. On Friday, 20 October 2017 researchers from Phillip Island Nature Parks, Zoos Victoria and the Eastern Barred Bandicoot Recovery Team released a total of 44 individuals onto the Summerland Peninsula, located at the western tip of Phillip Island. This area is well known as the site of major conservation activities over several years as it was rehabilitated from a former housing estate to a natural environment which is also home to a thriving colony of little penguins and migratory short-tailed shearwaters. Despite the population of local feral cats, the bandicoots are now doing very well living on Phillip Island.

Current Status

In 2021, the Eastern barred bandicoot was officially labelled as endangered, rather than extinct in the wild and the captive breeding program was ceased, an incredible feat for any species. There’s still plenty of work to be done, but the Nature Parks and the Eastern Barred Bandicoot Recovery Team are excited to make it happen.
