The book addresses the questions: Is Australias rapidly growing human population and economy environmentally sustainable for its estuaries and coasts? What is needed to enable sustainable development?
To answer these questions, this book reports detailed studies of 20 iconic Australian estuaries and bays by leading Australian estuarine scientists.
That knowledge is synthesised in time and space across Australia to suggest what Australian estuaries will look like in 2050 and beyond based on socio-economic decisions that are made now, and changes that are needed to ensure sustainability.
The book also has a Prologue by Mr Malcolm Fraser, former Prime Minister of Australia, which bridges environmental science, population policy and sustainability.
This book examines the environmental status of 20 iconic Australian estuaries and bays and suggests what they will look like in 2050 and beyond based on current socio-economic decisions and changes that are needed to ensure sustainability.
