The '''Flood Plain Lower Ringarooma River wetlands''' is a [[wetland]] site comprises the [[floodplain]] of the lower [[Ringarooma River]] in north-eastern [[Tasmania]], [[Australia]]. In 1982 it was designated a wetland of international importance under the [[Ramsar Convention]].

==Description==
The Ramsar site has an area of {{convert|3519|ha}}.<ref name="ramsar2015"/> It lies between the towns of [[Tomahawk, Tasmania|Tomahawk]] to the west and Gladstone to the south-east. It is a sandy floodplain, flat and low-lying, with an elevation of less than {{convert|20|m}} above sea level. Geologically, it consists of [[Quaternary]] [[clay]]s, [[sand]]s and [[gravel]]s with [[silt]]y clay soil overlying deep grey sands. The silt is derived from [[erosion]] in the [[drainage basin|river catchment]] caused by [[tin mining]]. The average annual rainfall is 625–750&nbsp;mm.<ref name=isrw>{{cite web |url=http://sites.wetlands.org/reports/ris/5AU009en.pdf|title=Flood Plain Lower Ringarooma River, Tasmania |access-date=2013-08-01 |work=Information Sheet on Ramsar Wetlands |publisher=Ramsar Convention |date=2013-04-10 }}</ref>

===Flora and fauna===
The site is vegetated with [[shrubland]] and [[tussock grassland]] and surrounded by [[woodland]]. Several plants that are rare or threatened in Tasmania, including ''[[Centipeda minima]]'', ''[[Polygonum strigosum]]'', ''[[Lythrum salicaria]]''  and ''[[Villarsia exaltata]]'', occur there.<ref name=isrw/> It also provides secure feeding and nesting habitat for many [[waterbird]]s. The area is used for [[livestock]] [[grazing]] as well as regulated [[waterfowl hunting]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ramsar.org/cda/en/ramsar-documents-list-anno-australia/main/ramsar/1-31-218%5E16713_4000_0__ |title=Lower Ringarooma River |access-date=2013-08-01 |work=The Annotated Ramsar List: Australia |publisher=Ramsar Convention |date=2013-04-10 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130806171355/http://www.ramsar.org/cda/en/ramsar-documents-list-anno-australia/main/ramsar/1-31-218%5E16713_4000_0__ |archive-date=6 August 2013 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
