The McMinns Lagoon Reserve Association (MLRA) was established in 1987 by a group keen to restore the valuable wetland habitat which holds significant environmental, social and cultural value to the Larrakia people and local residents. MLRA volunteers have worked to restore valuable wetland habitat, mitigate soil erosion, and improve water quality to protect the natural habitat of the lagoon for a diverse range of wildlife. MLRA have restored this valuable wetland habitat into a thriving, healthy ecosystem, and biodiverse oasis that is now home to over 150 species of birds.
