About the plan
Bob Chinnock made the first collection of Myoporum turbinatum from an area to the northeast of Esperance in 1981. Although this population has not been relocated, a further six small populations containing a total of 171 mature plants have been found in the same general area. There is a large amount of potential habitat adjoining this area and the species may be more widespread than is currently known.
The preferred habitat of Myoporum turbinatum may place the species at future risk from rising salinity that is expanding outwards from the saline lakes on whose margins it occurs. In these areas tree deaths and the presence of salt tolerant species are already evident.
