Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Badu Island Mulgrave Island is an island 60 km north of Thursday Island Queensland , Australia in the Torres Strait . This island is one of the Torres Strait Islands . Badu Island once had a feared reputation as an island of headhunters . Warfare, turtle and dugong hunting were the main occupations of Badu men until the 1870s turtle and dugong hunting continued after this. Pearlers established bases on the island during the 1870s and by the early 1880s the islanders were becoming dependent on wages earned as lugger crew. At the same time, the first missionaries arrived. At the peak of the shell industry in the late 1950s, the Badu fleet of 13 boats employed a workforce of 200 providing work for many men, even from other islands as well. However, once the shell trade declined, many people moved to the mainland for work. The language of Badu is Kala Lagaw Ya . Infrastructure on Badu Island consists of Airport Regional Council Office State School Years 1 to 7 Health Centre with permanent doctor Two grocery stores Indigenous Knowledge Centre Post Office Centrelink Agency Football Field Motel A number of other locally owned run businesses are in operation at Badu including live seafood exports.

Hook.f. wikispecies Halophila ovalis Halophila ovalis is a seagrass in the family Hydrocharitaceae , a common name is paddle weed . It is a small herbaceous plant that occurs in sea beds and other saltwater environments. The plant occurs around reefs, estuaries, islands, inter tidal areas, on soft sand or mud substrates. The leaves are ovate in outline, appearing on stems that emerge from rhizome beneath the sand. The roots get up to 800 mm long and covered in fine root hairs. It is often found in meadows that dominate a sand bank or other patch of sea floor. The arrangement of the plant, above and below ground, provides stability to the sea floor and habitat for other species. It is used as food by dugong , as is therefore known as dugong grass. The first description of the species was by Robert Brown botanist Robert Brown as Caulinia ovalis , this was transferred to the genus Halophila by Joseph Dalton Hooker in Flora Tasmaniae 1858 . The species name Halophila ovata is now regarded as a synonym of this species. ref FloraBase name Halophila ovata id 8642 http florabase.calm.wa.gov.au search current 8642 Name Currency ref References Reflist External links FloraBase name Halophila ovalis id 164 Category Angiosperms of Western Australia Category Flora of the Northern Territory Category Flora of Queensland Category Flora of New South Wales Category Flora of Lord Howe Island Category Monocots of Australia Category Seagrass fr Halophila ovalis th ... more details
