Berry Island Ecosystem Worksheet
A harbour ecosystem
Berry Island is a small, bush-covered headland in Sydney Harbour, on the lands of the Cammeraygal people. Its bushland, rocky shore and surrounding water provide different habitats. In this simplified example, native plants use sunlight to grow. Insects feed on plants, small birds may feed on insects, and larger birds may prey on smaller birds. Fallen leaves and dead organisms are broken down by fungi and bacteria, returning nutrients to the soil. Animals also need water, shelter and suitable places to breed. First Nations peoples have deep and continuing connections to Country. Aboriginal knowledge of places, seasons and species is diverse and specific to each community. Caring for Country can include observing seasonal changes and making decisions that sustain ecosystems. Do not assume that one practice applies everywhere or that a particular practice occurred at Berry Island without evidence.
