| Abstract: |
The Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth region of South Australia is recognised as having extremely high conservation values. The region incorporates an array of temporarily and permanently inundated wetlands. Both fresh and saltwater vegetation communities occur and consequently there is habitat for a diverse range of birdlife including numerous Australian migratory and resident oceanic birds, and ducks, waders and other waterbirds.
AIM:
The aim of this project is collate and collect information regarding the natural values of the Murray Mouth Estuary, and also the identification of the relevant conservation management issues in the region.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources commissioned the South Australian Research and Development Institute to undertake a preliminary biological resource-assessment study of the intertidal and subtidal conservation values of the Murray Mouth Estuary.
